INDIAN WELLS, Calif. - Swiss qualifier Stefanie Vogele stunned world number four Sloane Stephens with a 6-3 6-0 win in their second-round match at the BNP Paribas Open on Friday as the American struggled in gusting winds in the Southern California desert.
Vogele needed just over an hour to dispatch the fourth-seeded Stephens and push her overall record to 4-1 against the 2017 U.S. Open champion, who failed to make it past the tournament’s third round last year. “Obviously playing someone who you haven’t done that well against in the past is a little bit rough,” Stephens told reporters after the match.Unseeded American Jennifer Brady defeated 19th-seeded Caroline Garcia 6-3 3-6 6-0 to punch her ticket to the third round but it could hardly be considered an upset.
Czech Marketa Vondrousova eased past an error-prone Russian Daria Kasatkina 6-2 6-1 to book her place in the third round.
