Davis handled Lepchenko easily 6-3, 6-2 as her fantastic run continues in Indian Wells. Davis is now into the round of 16 and will actually be the higher ranked player when she takes on Casey Dellacqua on Wednesday.

Between Davis and #17 Sloane Stephens, who takes on #11 Ana Ivanovic in the third round on Monday, the US has a real chance at two quarterfinalists.
