Seeds meets seeds as the third round begins.
With a few notable absentees who lost early.
But Collins v Svitolina had promise. So did Muchova vs. the unseeded Siniakova. Neither really panned out.
And Mirra Andreeva vs. Clara Tauson was a battle of two youngsters who’ve been very in form. But Andreeva was all over it.
(Indian Wells is three hours behind ET).
