Bencic beats Wozniacki at Indian Wells

Wednesday, March 18 2015 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Fourth seed Caroline Wozniacki ousted by Belinda Bencic, seeded 31 at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.

    Script:

    Former Indian Wells winner and fourth seed Caroline Wozniacki's hopes of an easy route into the fourth round of the tournament in California, were quickly dashed by 18 year old Belinda Bencic.

    The Dane had won her 23rd career singles title recently at Kuala Lumpur, but was beaten here in striaght sets.

    Bencic earned her first win over a top-five player and at 18 became the youngest player to reach the fourth round this year.

    Last year in Istanbul, Bencic failed to win a game off Wozniacki.

    Wozniacki was beaten 6-4, 6-4 by the 31st-seeded.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Belinda Bencic

    "Yeah, well the last time I lost 6-0, 6-0. That was a really tough loss and today I was happy as I won the first game. I had a good game plan going into the match and I was very confident, with my game, I played a solid match. I hold the rallies with her and waited for my chances and was patient, and I served well."

    Also on Monday, Jelena Jankovic, who won here in 2010, beat Madison Keys, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 despite the Serb having just 13 winners and 42 unforced errors.

    Jankovic was coming off a back injury and torn muscle in Doha, which hampered her practice schedule.

    20-year-old American, Keys had her chances to take control, leading 3-1 in the final set. She hit 39 winners, but came undone with a whopping 64 unforced errors.
