The remaining eight third-round matches, all in the bottom half of the draw, are next on schedule at the BNP Paribas Open. Two-time Indian Wells champion Victoria Azarenka and US Open runner-up Leylah Fernandez will take the court on Monday.
Victoria Azarenka [13] versus Elena Rybakina [17]
Victoria Azarenka faces Elena Rybakina to headline the bottom half of the third round. Remarkably, the two have never played against each other. Azarenka, a finalist at Indian Wells last year, is confident in her chance of success in the desert, but knows she will have to work for it.
