Absolutely pathetic post. It is akin to one whiny brat in class telling the teacher than another whiny brat pulled her hair.

I would pick Djoko vs Fed in either IW or Miami (especially Miami) but who knows? I thought Fed's level was very impressive in Dubai overall. The thing at 33 is: can that level be maintained over several weeks though? He could have another 2012 at IW (remember how he destroyed Nadal there that year?), it's not impossible. There again, draw and schedule are gonna matter a lot. And also whether Murray and Nadal are gonna play their part or not.
Another question I have is: did Djoko go all out during the Dubai final? Don't get me wrong, the final was high quality tennis and it was certainly no tank job but I had a feeling Djoko didn't go out of his way either, that he wanted to keep some reserves for the coming masters. Just my impression.

Kei "The Heat" Nishikori to beat everyone, Raonic, Djokovic, Berdych, on his way to the final...only to lose tamely to whoever he faces in the final.

It was obvious he was saving himself for play time with Stefan.

Djokovic.
Nadal could surprise us all, though.

I struggle to understand this kind of logic used by certain people here.
You claim that Federer is the greatest. Therefore, what's so strange about Djokovic struggling against him? Doesn't the fact that he is the greatest mean that even past his prime and best years he should still be at the top of the game, as he is, and trouble the world's best, as he does? Being so fit, his game not being THAT physical and him avoiding big injuries as well, doesn't it mean exactly that?
Another thing I fail to understand is this whole "Djokovic is younger and in his prime, he should beat Fed everywhere." By saying this you're basically mocking Rog, not Nole. Because you don't give credit to your fave but instead choose to only talk smack about Novak and fail to appreciate Rog's efforts.

I think Nadal will win this. He just won another clay title beating several home favourites and is looking like he's returning to his best.
The high bouncing conditions favor him here and I think it is definitely doable for him to beat Murray, Wawrinka, Federer and Djokovic all in a row.

Rafa looked scary good at Buenos Aires. I am changing my original prediction. Novak does not have a chance if this Rafa shows up

I think all the top players are **** scared of Rafa, now that he has won the most prestigious traditional tournament. They are going to be humiliated by the Bull for the rest of the season......Scary indeed!!!

Haha, you joke about it but the thing is, Nadal could easily beat all those players back to back on the high bouncing conditions of Indian Wells, especially if he continues his good form from Buenos Aires.

In the last 10 years, Federer, Djokovic & Nadal won IW 3 times each. My prediction is that one of these three will win again this year 2015, given their current form.
Other potentials are Stan & Murray.
The rest will probably go up QF or SF before losing to any one of the above.

Fed vs Rafa SF
I would like to see Fed vs Rafa SF. Hope they both comes through without any upset. Now that Rafa also won a title for his confidence boost.
Somehow I feel Fed looks good with his aggressive play especially well placed serve and attacking the net. This kind of play would help compensate for him slowing down on the baseline movements. I just wish his backhand is as good as in Dubai.
Can't wait to see this.

Do you know Fed did not play a single backhand on the 9 critical points ( 7 BP he saved and 2 BP he won)

True, but he didn't needed as he served exceptionally and hit nice forehands when needed on those big points.
Overall I liked his backhand throughout the match and it helped him secure the break in second set. Not many miss-hits and it was solid in this match. If he cn hit his top spin backhand with good depth consistently it would put him great position to win tough matches.
