Indian Wells, BNP Paribas Open, Masters 1000

FAA wins in straight sets.

Mischa loses and so we will not see a fight between bros.

Good win for FAA but now the Greek Freak awaits. FAA owned Stefanos in the juniors but that was then. It would be a huge win for FAA.

Tignor concurs with me that Medvedev will take out Ralph.

...and then there were three.

The mach vs Novak doesn't have any words to describe it, awful played by Rafa, and the one vs Kyrgios having so many opportunities to win he throw away very badly. I hope he is not in that roller coaster like in 2015-16 when his mental strength was out and IW will help him to shake off that rough patch.

Nah..he is pissed ...Carlos will have him focused.. Rafa best chance is on these slower hard court...but you are correct..mentally he has got to be more than engaged

Paire takes another nose-dive to Gunneswaran. He rather reminds me of Gulbis. There is a high-end to their games, but they mostly just wander around in the wilderness.

Chardy was upset by an American qualifier, Giron, ranked 217.

Chardy is another one. I almost mentioned him above, but he's not quite of their ilk. But he's a likewise flake.

You said you'd get to see Felix play...did you? If so, how's your impression, from up close?

Actually, I was not able to watch him in person that much because I watch Nadal and Federer practice. I did not think Felix's match will be that quick though.

I'm pretty sure S.tsitsipas will handle felix easily 2-0 hope I I'm wrong because I want to see a good close match.

Actually better. How did they look in practice? I've seen Nadal practice once, at the USO.

Nadal and Diego actually played a practice set (not too serious though). Nadal looked good in my opinion. He was attacking the ball and Diego was having a hard time keeping up with Nadal's ball.

As for Federer, it was hard to see him practice because him and Rafa were practicing simultaneously (which was a treat for us!).

I am actually lucky that it is only an easy 1 hour drive from where I live, Margaret! Yeah, I could see why players vote Indian Wells as their favorite tournament because it is a beautiful venue to see in person. Also, the people are very calm, nice, knowledgeable and love to talk about tennis! It's like you know them for years the way fans just talk about Tennis.
