Defending champion Ana Ivanovic beat Argentina's Gisela Dulko 6-3, 6-3 to reach the fourth round of the WTA event in Indian Wells on Monday.
The Serbian fifth seed was not totally convincing but did enough to set up a clash with Italian 12th seed Flavia Pennetta.
With Ivanovic making too many errors early on, 31st seed Dulko broke to lead 3-2 in the opening set.
Ivanovic quickly pulled her game together, however, reeling off four straight games for the set before easing through the second to clinch victory.
Pennetta beat American qualifier Angela Haynes 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 while seventh seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland and Hungary's 22nd seed Agnes Szavay also advanced to the last 16.
