INDIAN WELLS – After a major disappointment for Jessica Pegula in singles, and a close call for partner Coco Gauff, they headed to the doubles court for the first time on Sunday and after falling behind early, got on a roll and got the win.

Joining them were five seeded teams on the men’s side, including No. 1s Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden. Who were ousted.

The ageless Hsieh Su-Wei and partner Elise Mertens, seeded No. 1, moved to the quarterfinals
