Bouchard advances at Indian Wells

Eugenie Bouchard, looking to regain her form after missing time on the WTA Tour with an injury, defeated CoCo Vandeweghe 6-3, 6-2 in the third round of the Indian Wells event Monday.

The world number seven advances to the fourth round where she will face either Alize Cornet of France or Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko.

Canada's Bouchard reached the quarter-finals at the Australian Open earlier this year, losing to Maria Sharapova.
