ATP/WTA Indian Wells and Miami

[pepsi]

A big month of tennis ahead with the main draw of Indian Wells starting tonight and then it's over to Miami once we are finished in California. I think these 2 tournaments are big enough to deserve a thread.

Most of the top 32 players are in the women's and men's draw, except those with injuries.

Barty, De minaur and kyrgios seeded. Then we have millman, ebden, thompson, bolt, popyrin, hon, gavrilova, tomjlanovic and stosur.

[SunGirl89]

Azarenka through to play 10-SWilliams

Gavrilova through to play 29-Buzarnescu

 

[BobbyMorri]

Hoping to watch some tennis over the weekend. Azarenka v Williams is unbelievably good.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Ebden lost but Thompson through in three in the men's, Hon and Stosur both beaten in the women's.

 

[matt_897]

Thompson just won his match over Delbonis in a 3rd set tb. Keeps winning those matches he should. Plays Thiem next.

Ebden lost to 40-year old Karlovic, out of sorts is what I describe the few games of that I saw.

Stosur got smashed by Brengle. Same with Hon.

Millman is on a little later.

 

[SunGirl89]

Flipkens v Bouchard has started, come on Genie.

Flipkens v Bouchard has started, come on Genie.

https://bnpparibasopen.com/score-center/match-detail/?match=LS066

Watch her lose as per usual

 

[SunGirl89]

Genie was never going to go far here. Even if she wins she has Collins and then probably Osaka up next.

God I hope Naomi doesn't lose again.

Millman lost the first set 6-1

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Come on Johnny!

 

[matt_897]

John is playing absolute trash tennis, thought he found some form last week....

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Didn't see any of the Millman match, just as well by the sounds of it. Hope he's not carrying an injury.

 

[SunGirl89]

Booooochard out 5-7 in the 3rd, the longest match of the tournament so far other than Thompson's epic 202 minute win.

Match point down receiving at 4-5 in the 3rd set, saved it (great point) and got the break back. Then lost the next 2 games.

Popyrin and bolt win their opening round matches. Great result to qualify and then win a main draw match.

 

[megatiger]

Millman a flash in the pan unfortunately

 

[pepsi]

Barty and gavrilova also win

 

[JackNah_8]

An upset, Stephens lost today

 

[BobbyMorri]

An upset, Stephens lost today

she is doing that a lot recently

This match has warmed up nicely. Lovely how eager Azarenka is. taking the ball nice an early.

 

[BobbyMorri]

This is unbelievably good atm

 

[pepsi]

Well that was a heck of a match. Probably the highest quality match of the year on the wta Tour. They bring out the best in each other.

 

[Firestarter]

Why are Australian males so goddamn useless...

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I always thought Nick was a near certainty to go out early this week after last weeks effort. Hopefully he can have a lot better tournament in Miami.

 

[Hamingja]

Colour me not surprised...

 

[JackNah_8]

De minaur is also out
