Seeds meets seeds as the third round begins.
With a few notable absentees who lost early.
But Collins v Svitolina has promise. So does Muchova vs. the unseeded Siniakova.
And Mirra Andreeva vs. Clara Tauson is a battle of two youngsters who’ve been very in form.
(Indian Wells is three hours behind ET).
