Rafael Nadal breezed past American qualifier Ryan Sweeting 6-3, 6-1 in a third-round match Monday as the second week of the BNP Paribas Open began.
Nadal improved to 28-4 in his career at Indian Wells, where he's won twice. The world's top-ranked men's player has lost six games in his first two matches while showing no lingering effects from his recent left thigh injury.
