Nadal, Djokovic thru'

AFP, Indian Wells
World number one Rafael Nadal and defending champion Novak Djokovic stayed on course for a semifinal showdown with third-round triumphs in the Indian Wells Masters series Tuesday.
Top-seeded Nadal triumphed 6-3, 6-3 in a tricky encounter with Russian Dmitry Tursunov, while third-seeded Serbian Djokovic beat German veteran Tommy Haas 6-2,7-6 (7/1).
"It wasn't one of my best matches, true. It was tough to play against him," said Australian Open champion Nadal, who had to save a break point in the final game but won the next three points to secure thewin.
"He didn't give me a lot of rhythm. He played good shots, but at the same time made mistakes. I had more mistakes than usual."
Nadal had little time to savour the victory, which earned him a fourth-round match on Wednesday night against Argentina's David Nalbandian, who hasn't dropped a set against Nadal in two career meetings, both in 2007 before the Spaniard's rise tonumberone.
"The first thing is to play well," Nadal said of what he'll have to do against Nalbandian, who beat Serbian ViktorTroicki 6-4,6-2.
"Second, I have to play really aggressive, because if he has control of the point it is
nearly impossible."
Djokovic, who beat Nadal in last year's semifinals en route to the title, started strong but would have preferred to finish off Haas more quickly.
Overall, however, the 21-ycar-old was satisfied that he was moving in the right direction.
"Better than the first match," was his assessment. "I played really well in the opening set. and then could have done the job a bit earlier. I had some break chances and didn't make a couple returns, and gave him a chance to come backinto the match."
Djokovic next plays Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka, who saved two match points in the third-set tiebreaker to claim a 2-6,7-5,7-6 (10/8) victory over American SamQuerrey.
Sixth-seeded Argentinian Juan Martin del Potro advanced, beating Austrian Jurgen Melzer 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (7/2).
Seventh-seeded American Andy Roddick edged Germany's Nicolas Kiefer 6-4, 7-6 (7/4).
Roddick will face 12th-seeded Spaniard David Ferrer, who rallied for a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory over unseeded Frenchman Jeremy Chardy while del Potro will face American wildcard John Isner, a 6-4, 6-4 winner over former world number one Marat Safin ofRussia.
Meanwhile Safin's younger sister, top-seeded Dinara Safina, led the way into the women's quarterfinals with a 7-5,6-4 victory over US veteran
JillCraybas.
Safina, who can seize the world number one ranking from the absent Serena Williams if she reaches the final, lined up a meeting with eighth-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, who downed Israeli Shahar Peer 7-5, 6-4.
Safina won all three of her meetings against Azarenka last year.
Defending champion Ana Ivanovic booked a quarterfinal berth, the fifth-seeded Serbian downing Italian Flavia Pennetta 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. She'll face Austrian Sybille Bammer, a 6-3, 6-2 winner over Slovakia's Daniela Hantuchova.
Rising Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, 17, continued the run of success that saw her oust second-seeded Jelena Jankovic in the second round, advancing to the quarterfinals when opponent Nuria Llagostera Vives retired in the second round with a left hip strain.
Pavlyuchenkova, owner of three junior Grand Slam titles who has leapt to 42nd in the world, was leading 6-3, 3-0 when the Spaniard called it a day.
Pavlyuchenkova will face seventh-secded Pole Agnieszka Radwanska, who beat Agnes Szavay6-0,5-7,6-3.
Fourth-seeded Russian Vera Zvonareva also advanced with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over China's Li Na. Zvonareva next faces ninth-seeded Dane Caroline Wozniacki, a 7-5, 6-3 winner over wildcard Urszula Radwanska - younger sister of Agnieszka.
