Bouchard in third round of the bnp Paribas open 2016

Canada's Eugenie Bouchard advanced to the third round of the BNP Paribas Open on Saturday, while seeded players Garbine Muguruza and Caroline Wozniacki were among those who made exits on Day 4 of play.

The 22-year-old Bouchard met American Sloane Stephens, also 22, for the first time since 2013. In their second-round battle, Bouchard won 63 per cent of first-serve points and broke Stephens six times. She dropped her serve four times in the encounter lasting one hour and 41 minutes.

“We had some great points, really both going at it, and I was just, I think, a bit more aggressive,” said the Montreal native. “I think that made the difference.”

Bouchard, who has reached two finals (Kuala Lumpur, Hobart) so far this season, meets Switzerland’s Timea Bacsinszky in the third round.
