Venus, Halep win, Wozniacki out

INDIAN WELLS, California - Venus Williams defeated Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia 7-6 (8), 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals of the BNP Paribas Open on Tuesday as the oldest woman in the draw.

The 37-year-old American was coming off a straight-sets victory over sister Serena a night earlier, ending a three-match skid against her younger sibling.

"It was a quick turnaround from last night when it feels like, 'Hey, you're only in the fourth round,'" Williams said on court.
