World number one Iga Swiatek overcame a slow start to defeat Czech teenager Linda Noskova in straight sets and reach the fourth round at Indian Wells.<\/b><\/p>\n
The Polish 22-year-old, a four-time major winner, trailed 4-2 in the first set and faced three break points in a pivotal seventh game.<\/p>\n
But she won 10 successive games from that point to earn a 6-4 6-0 victory.<\/p>\n
Swiatek, who lost to Noskova at the Australian Open, will play Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva in the last 16.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old Noskova, who came back from a set down to stun Swiatek in the Australian Open third round in January, looked in firm control as she led 15-40 on her opponent’s serve when already 4-2 ahead in the opening set.<\/p>\n
But Swiatek responded in devastating fashion and, after battling back to take the first set, took just 28 minutes to settle the second.<\/p>\n
In WTA history, Swiatek is responsible for 11% of all sets won 6-0 in WTA 1,000 tournaments – with this the 22nd occasion she has achieved that. <\/p>\n
Upcoming opponent Putintseva, ranked 79th, knocked out American 18th seed Madison Keys in straight sets, winning 6-4 6-1.<\/p>\n
Italian 13th seed Jasmine Paolini beat Russian 25th seed Anna Kalinskaya 6-3 3-6 6-4.<\/p>\n
Later on Sunday, Germany’s Angelique Kerber plays Russian Veronika Kudermetova, with the winner set to face Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki or American Katie Volynets. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
