INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP) — Top-seeded Karolina Pliskova won her second-round match in straight sets at the BNP Open, while fifth-seeded Garbine Muguruza was beaten. Pliskova advanced to the third round with a 7-5, 6-2 win over Magdalena Frech at the combined ATP and WTA event. Pliskova fired six aces, giving her a Tour-leading 387 this year, and converted five of her six break points.
