Sara Errani cruises through at Indian Wells

Sara Errani has made it through to the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open with a straight-sets victory over Johanna Larsson in Indian Wells.

Both players exchanged breaks early in the first set before sixth seed Errani broke again on her way to closing it out 6-3.

Despite saving two break points in the second, the Italian was barely troubled by her Swedish opponent as she sealed the win 6-1.

Errani will face either Svetlana Kuznetsova or Marion Bartoli for a place in the quarter-finals.
