Pacific Life Open- Indian Wells

[Drummond]

The Pacific Life Open, considered by many to be the “Grand Slam of the West”, is one of the elite international sporting events in the world today. Held annually at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, a state-of-the-art facility boasting a 16,000 seat stadium, the event has become the fifth most-attended tennis tournament in the world (270,000 in 2006).

It enjoys elite status on the ATP (ATP Masters Series) and Sony Ericsson WTA Tour (Tier I) calendars. This tradition of strong player fields including well-known champions, coupled with world-class tennis facilities and the idyllic weather and desert scenery of the Coachella Valley in Southern California, has fueled the Pacific Life Open’s emergence as one of the most prestigious tournaments on the tennis calendar and one at which a great performance is extremely important to a player's ranking and resume.

Hewitt will have to play Federer in the 4th Round. Can anyone stop Roger? He's my obvious tip on the men's side, and I'll pick Sharapova to take out the women's title.

Coverage begins on Fox Sports from Saturday the 10th.

Haha! Best news of the day! It aint Federer's fault that Hewitt is only ranked no20. Hewitt has got a reasonable draw.

Guccione got through Qualifying and meets Lopez first up. Wayne Arthurs missed out.

And the Gooch is gone, 6-2, 7-6. So pathetic.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Typical Gooch and why is Arturs still playing!

Murray to play Wesley Moodie

 

[red+black]

Fed has 41 consecutive wins (12-0 in 2007) and has something to achieve each round:

1: bye
2: 42 wins - Canas/Hajek (equal 3rd with John McEnroe)
3: 43 wins - Moya/Stepanek (outright 3rd)
4: 44 wins - Hewitt/Ferrer (equal 2nd with Ivan Lendl)
Q: 45 wins - Blake/Djokovic (outright 2nd)
S: 46 wins - Davydenko/Safin/Murray/Haas/Gonzalez (equal 1st with Guillermo Vilas)
F: 47 wins - Ljubicic/Roddick/Robredo/Nadal/Nalbandian/Youzhny (will hold the new record outright)

 

[Geddy Lee]

I'm a Nalbandian nut so I hope he wins. All the big names in action tomorrow: Federer, Nalbandian, Blake, Safin, Ljubo and Hewitt. No one will stop Jesus Federer though.

Crushing that Juan Martin Del Potro lost to that French midget Gasquet

I saw he was losing. Did he bother to finish the match, or did he just 'retire' like he usually does when down?

A James Blake fan are we?

Blake is a fraud, but since this was not about him, JMDP finished the match, he only retires in MM events.

Fed has 41 consecutive wins (12-0 in 2007)

In 2006, he was 16-0 and 33-1.

In 2005, he was 10-0 and 35-1.

In 2004, he was 9-0 and 21-1.

Federer is really struggling at the moment against Canas.

Lost the first set and down a break early in the second.

He wont lose. You mean an excuse like Lleyton Hewitt would come up with? I wonder if he will blame the courts....

disgraceful gamesmanship from rogah. hes not injured, just trying to cheat!!!

 

[ShearMagic9]

Get a clue

 

[Cameron_K]

Federer has been knocked out in straight sets.

Worst I have seen Fed play in the last 3-4 years

Are you still as happy in regards to Lleyton's draw

 

[ShearMagic9]

Poor game of tennis from Federer. It was just an off day, everyone has one.

 

[Baxter Stockman]

He wont lose.

7-5 6-2. What do u call that?

 

[Karbo]

You wouldn't see many players sign autographs after a loss like that. Well done Roger, a class act.

 

[Baxter Stockman]

No one will stop Jesus Federer though.

Really?

 

[ShearMagic9]

7-5 6-2. What do u call that?

I call that a loss.

Normally Federer comes back from those sorts of deficits though, he didnt today because he played like crap.

Great to see a true champion sign autographs after a loss.

 

[Baxter Stockman]

This tournament is Lleytons!!!

 

[ShearMagic9]

This tournament is Lleytons!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You have talked some garbage on this thread, but I reckon that just about takes the cake.
