Stan Wawrinka eases into last 16 in Indian Wells

The third seed needed just an hour and 18 minutes to get past Phillip Kohlschreiber 7-5 6-3 and will now face Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka in the last 16.

The Swiss' half of the draw is wide open after the shock early exit of world number one Andy Murray and he will be eyeing just a second Masters 1000 title at the end of the week.

Wawrinka said in his post-match press conference: "It was a really good match. I'm very happy. I was serving well. I think I'm moving better and better, and it's all positive so far."

It looked as if Tomas Berdych was going to be Wawrinka's next opponent, but the Czech player suffered a shocking capitulation against Nishioka.

Berdych was leading 6-1 5-2 and had a match point before disintegrating to a 1-6 7-6 (7/5) 6-4 loss to the lucky loser.

Eighth seed Dominic Thiem dropped just five games in a 6-1 6-4 success over Mischa Zverev while David Goffin defeated Albert Ramos-Vinolas 7-6 (7/3) 6-4.

Murray's second-round conqueror Vasek Pospisil returned to earth with a bump as he was beaten 6-7 (7/4) 6-3 7-5 by Dusan Lajovic.

Pablo Cuevas beat Fabio Fognini 6-1 6-4 and Gael Monfils got the better of John Isner 6-2 6-4 in an entertaining clash.
