Maria defeated Anabel Medina Garrigues of Spain 7-5 6-7 6-1 in just under 3 hours to advance to the 3rd round at Indian Wells.
After the win, Maria said: "In the second set I had my chances to win the match; maybe played a little bit too risky, went for a little bit more. She played really great defensively throughout the whole match and always made me hit another ball. I stepped it up in the third. So it was a long match and many games, but I think it was a good match for me."
Maria will up against No.20 seed Aravane Rezai of France in the 3rd round on Monday. Maria has played Rezai twice before and the series is spilt 1-1 - both meetings were on clay.
