Juan Martin Del Potro progresses to the fourth round at Indian Wells after overcoming Fernando Verdasco in straight sets.

Juan Martin Del Potro has progressed to the fourth round at Indian Wells after overcoming Fernando Verdasco 6-2 7-6.

The Argentinian cruised through the opening set, breaking in games three and five and holding his serve with authority.

There was not even a break point in the second set, as both men dominated their service games to set up a tie-break.

Verdasco's ultra-courageous approach helped him to storm into a 6-4 lead in the breaker.

The Spaniard lost his nerve though and, after throwing away two set points, he produced a double fault to leave Del Potro to serve out 8-6 and take the match.
