INDIAN WELLS, Calif., March 15 (UPI) -- Novak Djokovic remained undefeated for the year by beating Ernests Gulbis Tuesday in the third round of the BNP Paribas Masters at Indian Wells.

The red-hot Serbian star ran his record for 2011 to 14-0 by dispatching his Latvian opponent 6-0, 6-1 in less than an hour.

Djokovic, the No. 3 seed, won the Indian Wells event in 2008 and won this season's Australian Open and Dubai tournaments.

Also advancing Tuesday was second-seeded Roger Federer, who downed Juan Ignacio Chela 6-0, 6-2.

Seventh-seeded Tomas Berdych advanced by topping Thomaz Bellucci. Eighth-seeded Andy Roddick ousted fellow American John Isner 7-5, 6-2.
