I like Maria's chances of taking the crown here.

Good. This match deserved a third set.

"I am looking at the match stats and see that sharapova has 44 winners. That's a lot of winners but 47 UEs?" That's the kind of scoreline I can dig actually.

You guys (to generalize) are too cynical. This is quite an entertaining match by any standard and more so for an opening night at a Slam. Maria is showing her usual, but here unexpected, commitment and courage and her play has been close to sublime. As Pam Shriver said on the US broadcast...

This is my first time seeing more than highlights or youtube of Shapovolov (hope I spelled that right). I'm impressed. Of course he uses a mirror image of my grips so I have a natural affinity for his play. Zverev, whom I enjoy watching, looks a little rattled.

To me Roger of early 2017 very possibly beats Roger of any year. The only thing that has left his game on his current form is a half step of defense, which he has got back with interest by playing nearer the center and running around fewer forehands. And he has done it the right way, by making...

Thanks.

Here: http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/tv_schedule.html I came to the above page a few days ago to see if the Indian Wells Tournament was on real TV or if it'd been hidden away on the cable ghetto The Tennis Channel. The schedule there says that Indian Wells had been hidden away from viewers on...

Wawrinka and Raonic are the only two left I'd put as favorites vs. Federer, and both only by a smidge.

Love that point Fed played to hold.

Stan's just serving better, that's it.

It's really surprisingly even when Fed serves well.

43-5 winners lol.

This match is waaaay better than what I expected it would be.

It ain't the heat, it's the stupidity.

Lopez 10 aces; Djokovic 1 thus far.

Was I the only one watching that thought it looked like BB's plan for Novak was to go to Bautista's FH and Nole, while executing it, was p*ssed off and letting his box know it?

To those posting berating the level of either player's performance: you are missing a great match and great play.

Donald Trump is a thousand times more humble/classy than Kyrgios.

The number 22 man against a 30 year old who has *never* been ranked above number 78 or something? C'mon. Brown in 4. I don't rank Brown an outstanding player--even his volleys I've seen raved about here are too often limp rather than crisp--and his game is so high risk it can't be sustained...

"Thug" as well is just a current codeword for the n-word in the US. It's used exactly the same way and with the same intent.

Aren't the dimpled soles mandated by the AE club? Everyone regardless the shoe manufacturer appears to use essentially the exact same sole material.

Yeah Nadal wasn't operating at 100% as is pretty normal for a pro, the surface conspires against his kick serve to backhand and his velocity was off as well. He was reluctant to move forward as well, a couple of Brown's drop shots looked reachable, if just, and he didn't make the effort. And...

Yes I am serious. His reckless abandon maximized his chances of winning the match and he could in fact not have won the match any other way. Maximum aggression isn't "no tactics", it *is* a tactic, and one that against a historic groundstroker like Nadal is in some real set of circumstances...

Well spotted on the Macenroesque volleys. I was thinking the same watching the match. Not what is taught, very army, but whatever works.

Firstly if you haven't watched it, please do. The commentary is in Italian but is pretty generic and uninsightful so you aren't missing much if you don't understand Italian-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDeZJGGTUXc His serve isn't really that great. It's very fast because he hits it...

This game is epic!

Looks like Andy unweighted the left ankle in time.

How about that slice FH dropper from Fed? Ridiculous.

Play suspended. It was the correct call to start the match with the roof open, this is an outdoor tournament. Maybe the roof won't need to be closed I haven't seen the radar.
