Indian Wells: Azarenka reaches fourth round
Azarenka beats Kirsten Flipkens 3-6, 6-3, 6-0.
California (AFP) - Victoria Azarenka kept her Indian Wells WTA title defence on track on Monday as she rallied for a 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 victory over Belgian Kirsten Flipkens.
Azarenka remained unbeaten in 2013, having successfully defended her Australian Open title and her WTA Doha crown.
The 23-year-old from Belarus, currently ranked second in the world behind American Serena Williams, is vying to become the first woman to win back-to-back titles at Indian Wells since Martina Navratilova in 1990 and 1991.
In the round of 16 she'll face Poland's Urszula Radwanska, a 6-0, 7-6 (7/4) winner over American Jamie Hampton.
