Azarenka, Fernandez headline Indian Wells Monday

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 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.
