Angelique Kerber won the match against Ekaterina Makarowa, which was interrupted in Indian Wells on Saturday. The Russian defeated the German number one 3:6,6:4 and 6:2.
At the end of the day, Angelique Kerber’s 2:11 hours of hard work was behind her entry into the third round of the BNP Paribas Open. Last year, the Kieler lost to Makarowa at the French Open and in Cincinnati, and the match was also marked by the Russian side.
