Matthew Ebden advances to round four

Matthew Ebden has advanced to round four of Indian Wells after a 6-3 6-4 victory over Mardy Fish.

Ebden took the first set with relative ease, displaying a fine forehand in the early stages against a frustrated Fish.

Fish looked rattled as the set drew to a close, Ebden serving for a spot in the next round.
