BNP Paribas Open | ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Indian Wells, CA, U.S.A. |

[Leublu tennis]

Nalbandian/Del Potro win 7-6, 7-6. Wow! With Gasquet/Wawrinka beating Nestor/Zimonjic this is something else!

 

[Leublu tennis]

Why does Roger have so much trouble with Karlovic's serve when A-Rod's is faster? Is it because he's taller and the angle it's coming from?

Not on a steady basis? K. is serving regularly over 130mph.

 

[seffina]

Congrats to Nalby! Hope this translates into good stuff for this singles matches as well.

Watching Simon/Ljubicic as well. A very listless match.

Wooow. Think this will be good for morale, both for Nalby and JMDP.

 

[Leublu tennis]

Ljubicic is serving at 5-3? Is he coming back?

 

[seffina]

Nah, it's just Simon losing the first set as usual.

Actually, he (Ljubicic) has been serving really well so far.

Dr. Ivo one minibreak up. Playing Karlovic is like tossing a coin. He has always a 50% chance of winning the match, no matter who is at the other side of the net.

Fed takes one MB back, 3-3.

 

[Leublu tennis]

Oh boy. That was close. Federer takes the set 7-6.

 

[ruerooo]

Who else loves Roger and Rafa watching their highlight reels?

 

[cucio]

It is always close with Ivo, it just amounts to a staring contest during the TB. Whoever blinks first loses.

 

[cucio]

Meh, skip the love serve games and get to the TB already.

 

[Rickson]

Federer's winning Indian Wells.

 

[cucio]

Fed breaks with a couple of good passing shots, nice job.

 

[ruerooo]

And Roger breaks. 4 games to 2.

 

[Leublu tennis]

I can't believe it. Fish/Roddick, two of my least favorite players, beat Stepanek/Llodra, two of my favorites. Rats!

 

[cucio]

Ljubicic beats Simon. Remember when Ivan was #3?

 

[Leublu tennis]

Pretty good match by Karlovic. I don't understand this guy. He went pro at 21, then stayed in the 200's until he was 24. Then was in the 100's for the next four years and got to the 50's at age 28. And to the top 20's last year at age 29. Is he going to play singles as long as Agassi?

 

[NamRanger]

Ljubicic absolutely crushed Simon.

 

[ruerooo]

Mardy and A-Rod win!

 

[NamRanger]

I can't believe it. Fish/Roddick, two of my least favorite players, beat Stepanek/Llodra, two of my favorites. Rats!

Are you serious? How the heck did they manage to do that?! I mean, Fish is decent at the net, but come on, Roddick?

 

[shadows]

I'd love to stay up for Tsonga but it's getting too late D:

Dissapointed Simon went out in straights too D:

Ljubicic serve was on fire, and he was attacking the net well today too. Backhand also gave Simon lots of trouble; Ljubicic was able to open up the court and gun it DTL all day.

No way to tell from the stats. Only 4 aces for Fish/Roddick and both teams served well, in the 70's. Go figure.

Stepanek/Llorda are both excellent doubles players too; maybe we've all been underrating Roddick's net game too much :shock:

 

[seffina]

Congrats to Fed!

Simon couldn't do anything at all. Ljubicic was serving at like 90%. Oh well.

 

[Leublu tennis]

Mathieu/Safin, late fill ins when Ancic dropped out, took the first set off Melo/Sa, who are both in the top 20 doubles players, 7-6.

 

[federerdomination]

Apparently, Singles players are good enough to beat doubles specialists even though they rarely play doubles

 

[cucio]

Cilic serving for the set against Robredo, looking pretty good today, not too many UEs.

Edit: and the moment I write this Cilic implodes, starts to spray balls around and gets broken back. I should market my services as pro jinxer.

 

[IvanAndreevich]

Cilic serving for the set against Robredo, looking pretty good today, not too many UEs.

Robredo making a lot, though.

 

[cucio]

From 5-3 to 5-6, Robredo will serve for the set. I won't elaborate, I don't think is fair from me to interfere in the result of the match.

 

[seffina]

Cilic goes down. My brackets are so totally screwed. I like Robredo alright, but I was hoping for good things for Cilic.

Hope Tsonga/Andreev is entertaining. And Tsonga please win. I can't have you losing as well.

 

[od_sf]

Great match between Cilic & Robredo. Well deserved win for Robredo!

 

[Blinkism]

Hey, does anyone know if the Andreev-Tsonga match is tonight, or is it tommorow morning?

can't find a stream

 

[Zaragoza]

Robredo had a great start of the season, he could come back to the top 10 this year playing like this.
It will be interesting to see him play against Murray on these courts.
Robredo will not concede Murray many unforced errors so Murray will need to play a bit more aggressive than he has been doing this week. Robredo leads the head to head 2-0, both wins on hardcourts but the last one was in 2007.

[illkhiboy]

Great match between Cilic & Robredo. Well deserved win for Robredo!

How was it great? I saw a lot of unforced errors from both sides. Especially frustrating to watch was Cilic's inside-out forehand errors. He was missing those by 2-3 metres at times.

Great in that it was much more competitive than any other match I saw today. Yes, plenty of UE's on both sides, but exciting to watch until the end nonetheless.

can't find a stream

Not Before 9:00 PM
[22] I Andreev (RUS) vs [11] J Tsonga (FRA) - ATP

So theoretically it should start in seven minutes or so.

 

[seffina]

The WTA match probably won't end for another half hour unfortunately.

Doesn't work. any Live feed right now ???

 

[tudwell]

Hantuchova, for the love of God, would you just win already?? It's late enough as it is, and I want to see some Tsonga.

 

[tudwell]

Hey, she listened to me. All right!

 

[VivalaVida]

Hey, she listened to me. All right!

tudwell, where is the stream?

 

[Fedace]

Where is the Tsonga match ?

 

[seffina]

On now! ...

 

[ruerooo]

Some point to break serve with. 2 games to Tsonga.

 

[VivalaVida]

Tsonga is absolutely amazing to watch. By far my favorite player.!

 

[edberg505]

Tsonga is hitting the stuffing out of the ball.

 

[ruerooo]

Igor gets the break back.
