Top seed Ivanovic advances at Indian Wells

　　INDIAN WELLS, California, March 15, 2008 - Top-seeded Serbian Ana Ivanovic reached the third round of the WTA and ATP Masters Series tournament here Saturday with a 6-1, 5-7, 6-0 victory over Romanian Ioana Raluca Olaru.

　　Ivanovic, ranked number two in the world, appeared to be on her way to an easy victory against 77th-ranked Olaru, winning the opening set in 27 minutes.

　　But the 20-year-old Serb, who was runner-up to Maria Sharapova at the Australian Open in January, ran into trouble in the second set.

　　After going up a break, she surrendered the advantage and ended up dropping the set, which took 61 minutes to play.

　　Ivanovic rebounded, however, and made short work of the third set to wrap up the victory in 1hr 55min.

　　She next faces either US wild card Vania King or Italian Tathiana Garbin, who were playing later Saturday.
