Caroline Wozniacki overcame a first-set wobble to move through to the third round of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.

The Danish second seed was a set and a break down against America's Vania King to before she settled into her game to win 5-7 6-2 6-4 after two and a half hours on court.

Russian No. 4 seed Elena Dementieva had cause for concern after she had her serve broken five times by Belarus' Olga Govortsova. Dementieva, who already has three titles in 2010, won 6-4 4-6 6-0 but will have to tighten her serve if she wants to progress in California.

Poland's fifth seed Agnieszka Radwanska eased past Russian Anna Chakvetadze. The Russian, who beat Britain's Anne Keothavong in the first round, was trailing 6-2 5-3 when she retired.

Meanwhile, Belgian Kirsten Flipkens was on red-hot form as she stormed to a 6-1 6-2 victory over Canada's No. 30 seed Aleksandra Wozniak.

In the men's draw, James Blake eased past Spain's Daniel Gimeno-Traver6-3 6-2, while Nicolas Almagro will meet Ivo Karlovic in the second round after beating Mischa Zverev 6-3 6-2.
