Serena Williams edged Yulia Putintseva in a tight first set before
stepping on the gas to secure a 7-6(2), 6-0 over the Kazakh in the third
round of the BNP Paribas Open on Sunday."I was just trying to find my rhythm out there," said Williams, a two-time champion in Indian Wells ('99, '01). "[I was] trying my best to not get off to a slow start. Then I got broken really early and I couldn't manage to break back.
"But I was just trying to fight out there and do what I could."
Next up for the World No. 1 is qualifier Kateryna Bondarenko, winner over fellow Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko 3-6, 6-4, 7-6(7) in a match lasting nearly three hours
