This year finally seems a positive year for Del Potro! he started the season positively and above all without any injuries and can this year improve his best ranking (4th) and get for the first time in his career on the podium.
Among the young players, Chung exploded and he can reach the top 10!
He does seem to be holding his own against Leonardo Mayer as of now.
Down a set but is pushing a tie break in the second set. He is the master of extending a rally in the later part of his matches and at this stage in the tournament they have best of three sets so he has that insurance to be able to lose a set and end up winning it.
Surprising how far Chung has reached in this tourney since he beat Cuevas and is up against Roger Federer tomorrow.
I think his journey has ended as he is the big boss in these challenges. Cheesy

Alot of players I did not think would make it this far in the tournament have made it through to the second round of Indian Wells including a player from India Grin by the name of Yuki Bhambri.
He beat Pouille yesterday and is playing Sam Querrey right now and is fairing very good up to him.

Tomorrow looks like a good set of matches as you see some familiar faces so it might be a nice day on the courts to watch some good tennis. Smiley

Many surprises in Indiana Wells!
already eliminated: Dimitrov, A.Zverev, Pouille, Djokovic, Scwarztman, Isner, Fognini.
Nadal, Goffin, Kyrgios and Nishikori instead did not participate.
Compared to the past few years, injuries and physical shape are more decisive.

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? Undecided

Taro who? I also never heard of this player before, most probably the biggest win of his career  Grin. 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.

Didn't watch much of tournament yet, but judging from some glimpses and results it seems to me that most of top players are currently off form. Del Potro and Cilic look like they mean business though.
Yes it is a weird tournament for sure.
Zverev just bowed out so two of the most very top seeds have left. First with Djokovic then him in the last match of the day.
What a dismal ATP for these top players so far.
Except for Roger but he almost left early from the highlights that I saw from yesterdays match. Roll Eyes

Not just that maybe its time to see some new faces in tennis both men and women. They played and rule the game for 10 years and now its time for that to change liked it or not it just how things are working.
Its just for a period of time , everyone will be back on tour soon in full form its just that they would have lost confidence by now and need to regain it by winning couple of tight matches  . It seems like ( for me) its difficult for Wawrinka to comeback and play like he used to play though Sad I am gonna miss him a lot.

Nadal can return to the top spot in the atp ranking with the next Indian Wells tournament ... even if he does not play it!
Federer must defend the 1000 points of last year, so he must reach at least the semifinals, otherwise Nadal will return (for a short time) to the first place.

Nadal said today that for the same problem he had at the Australian Open, he had to skip the tournament of Acapulco and miss the "Master 1000" tournaments in Miami and Indiana Wells.
Wawrinka will also not be in these 2 tournaments.
Djokovic has stated that he will most likely play Indiana Wells and will surely play in Miami!

I hope Wawrinka and especially Nadal will be 100% ready for Roland Garros. The way Nadal played last year on Roland Garros, without losing any set was fabulous.
Anyone knows when Murray will be back in competition ?


I hope so as well because we need the best tennis players playing. It would be a shame for the French Open if Nadal misses due to this injury he picked up in the Australian Open. If these top players miss the French Open then it opens up the door for Federer to win his second French Open unless one of the up coming young talents can knock him off.

I think Murray will be out almost all season from what I heard.

Without top players, the tournament will not be more interesting and this is becoming an advantage for Federer to reach finals without struggling too much against new players. Murray matter i don't know when he will be back.

Yeah I agree, it will be like the Australian Open however it will be a lot worse if Nadal can't play as at least he did play in the Australian Open. I think the forgotten player is Novak Djokovic who at the moment seems to be facing a mental battle with himself. If he can get himself right, then he can be a main contender for sure and challenge Federer.

A mental battle?
Didn't he just have a kid born late last year? That in itself would have himself take out alot of his time to prepare for a tournament.
Physically and mentally.
I heard the same about Murray that he will be out probably until the middle of the year just like I hear that Djokovic will make his return back on to the ATP circuit.
Its more of a physical battle for both of them , we all know how tough they are mentally . Djokovic will be back sooner than Murray but they are needed in the tour right now to level up the tennis quality as many top tennis players are dropping out of the tournaments because of injuries.
