Ana continued her splendid form at the Sony Open Tennis in Miami as she progressed to the fourth round by beating world No.45 Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-3, 6-3. The 12th seed made a sizzling start and never lost control of the 80-minute match, with all parts of her game clicking in place from the first point on.
Following her win over Ursula Radwanska, Ana takes on world No.45 Svetlana Kuznetsova in the third round of the Sony Open in Miami on Sunday. It will be the 12th meeting between the pair, with Ana leading the head-to-head series 7-4.
Despite her ranking, Kuznetsova will offer a stern test to Ana: she defeated 18th seed Ekaterina Makarova 6-4, 6-4 in the second round, and she boasts wins over Caroline Wozniacki (twice), Marion Bartoli and Jelena Jankovic this year.
Ana overcame a rain delay, floodlight failure and world No.33 Ursula Radwanska to advance to the third round of the Sony Open Tennis. The former world No.1 triumphed 6-2, 6-1 on an eventful day in Miami.
Ana was scheduled fourth on Court 1 and had to wait until the evening to get onto court, as rain halted play mid-way through the match prior to Ana's on Court 1.

Ana takes on world No.33 Ursula Radwanska of Poland in the second round of the Sony Open Tennis in Miami on Friday. It will be the third meeting between the pair.
Radwanska defeated Ana 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 in a lopsided match in Tokyo last year: Ana cruised through the opening set but then became passive in sets two and three, with the Pole capitalising.
Ana's victory came in the Fed Cup five years ago, when she won 6-3, 6-1 on an indoor carpet court.
