<p>While the Swiss world number one had to work harder than expected in his first match back since winning the Australian Open in January, Britain's Andy Murray shook off a bit of rust to outclass Italian Andreas Seppi 6-4, 6-4. <br /><br />In other matches, sixth seed Swede Robin Soderling crushed Evgeny Korolev of Kazakhstan 6-2, 6-4 and seventh-seeded American Andy Roddick eased past qualifier Lu Yen-hsun of Taiwan 6-4, 6-4. <br />Federer, seeking a record fourth title at Indian Wells, appeared on track for a clinical victory when he broke Hanescu in the second game before winning the opening set in 30 minutes. <br /><br />However, the 16-time Grand Slam champion was surprisingly broken in the sixth game of the second when the Romanian struck a backhand return winner down the line. <br />Although Federer fought back to 6-6, he fell behind 0-3 in the tie-break, which Hansecu won 7-5 to level the match when the Swiss hit a backhand long. <br /><br />Federer broke his opponent in the second and sixth games to seal victory. He will next meet 27th-seeded Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis. Murray, although not at his very best, broke Seppi in the seventh game of the second set when the Italian pushed a backhand volley wide before wrapping up the win.Meanwhile, fifth-seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko pulled out because of a broken left wrist. <br /><br />Davydenko first suffered the injury last month in Rotterdam but it was misdiagnosed and the fracture was only revealed after an MRI scan on Sunday, an ATP Tour official said. <br /><br />Zheng surprise<br />Former champion and 10th seed Maria Sharapova of Russia was knocked out, losing an error-strewn marathon to China's Zheng Jie 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 in women’s play. <br />While Sharapova made a premature exit, it was plain sailing for second-seeded Dane Caroline Wozniacki, who hammered Russian Maria Kirilenko 6-0, 6-3, and Elena Dementieva of Russia, who eased past Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium 6-4, 6-2. <br />Zheng broke Sharapova three times in the final set before clinching victory in a little under three hours with a searing forehand winner that clipped the baseline. <br />The 26-year-old Chinese, seeded 18th, booked a place in the fourth round against Australian wild card Alicia Molik, a 6-0, 6-2 winner over British qualifier Elena Baltacha. <br />Earlier, fifth seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland swept aside 31st-seeded Argentine Gisela Dulko 6-1, 6-0 and 11th-seeded Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli crushed American Jill Craybas 6-2, 6-0.<br /><br />Paes, Bhupathi ousted<br />Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi suffered shock first-round defeats along with their respective partnersThird seeds Paes and Czech Lukas Dlouhy went down fighting 4-6, 6-3, 6-10 to Spanish wild card pair of Rafael Nadal and Marc Lopez on Sunday night.<br />Bhupathi and his Belarusian partner Max Mirnyi, seeded fourth, lost a closely fought first round 4-6, 4-6 to Igor Andreev of Russia and Evgeny Korolev of Kazakhstan.</p>
