here are the possible quarter-finals of the Indian Wells tournament (Atp1000):
Federer vs Thiem/Chung
Dimitrov vs Kyrgios/K.Anderson
A.Zverev vs Sock/Pouille
Cilic vs Del Potro/Djokovic/Nishikori
For me there will be a final between Federer and A.Zverev.
Interesting to see the returns of Raonic, Djokovic and Nishikori.
I want to see Federer facing Chung , it would be a great contest because Chung's defence is amazing and he is agressive too like Federer . I am guessing , it will be a djoker Federer finals.
It would be nice to see a final of Federer vs Djokovic, but I think this tournament comes too soon for Djokovic as I don't think he is 100% fit.
Yes. He came back to soon as he fell to Taro Daniel. I had to look up what his name was cause I haven't heard of him before today.
Alot of major players have fallen this tournament. And Federer almost had everybody having a heart attack this afternoon with his match as it went way longer than his normally needed to dispatch a low level player compared to his status on the ATP circuit.
Who else is yet to fall before round three begins?
Taro who? I also never heard of this player before, most probably the biggest win of his career
. It is strange that many top seeds are struggling right now. We could have a surprising winner of the Indian Wells if this trend continues.
Well Djokovic wasn't really confident and hence mentally weak which is the main reason for his loss but I don't want to take any credit away from Daniel , I have seen him play before he plays some good tennis . As far as surprise winner is concerned I would say NO because of Federer and some good players like Del Potro , Thiem .
It's obviously that Novak is not physically well prepared for tournaments. To see him watching the balls going near him and not reacting at all is something that we couldn't see since 2009,2010. He is incredible talented player but his physical condition was one of the main reasons for his amazing results and achievements of his career. I haven't seen that he had any problem with his elbow which is good. He will gain stamina by working hard. He said that doesn't think about the titles as a priority for now, he just want to play without the pain and to feel good on the court. He tested his form, not the best one right now, but we will see what will Miami bring to him.
Elimination of A. Zverev is and is not surprise for me. Young guy is not constant in his form. It's not his first time to get eliminated so early from the tournament, but there's time for him.
Roger is playing today again and that will be third day in a row for him. Things like that could be pain in the a.. for players. Krainovic is playing tennis of his life but I don't think that it is enough to make any problem to Federer.
And from gambling side, 1.5 on Aguts win against Coric is quite good bet by my opinion.
