BNP Paribas Open - Indian Wells, U.S.A. - Tennis Tournament - Tennis - ATP World Tour

Here's tomorrow's order of play:

I was very sad to see Micheal Russell go out today. I know he's not famous or anything, but this is his last year on tour, so every event is his last. If Harrison or Sock had half of Russell's heart, determination, and fight, they'd be top 20 players.

Like Russell too. The dude does not have nearly the tools many of the younger kids have and yet he still made a decent living in the pros.

Smycek gets a WC. I guess being a nice guy does pay off once in a while.

Hingis playing doubles again. The last women to play who actually had a complete game. If she was a little stronger she could have had a longer singles career, but unfortunately the big girls had no problem bashing her shots.

Great to see Mardy out there today.

Went out in 3 sets though.

Love Indian Wells slightly more than Miami only because I get to see more tennis since Im on the East Coast. I get home in the middle of the day session

I caught some of the fish match but that's about it. Big boys are in action this weekend

 

[Old Lion]

Me too. Harrison played decent though. Maybe he finally gets his head out of his ass this year.

 

[cezero]

Until Harrison commits to working a lot harder off the court, he'll stay in the 80-120 range.

 

[bksballer89]

Sock on serve in the 5th

 

[cezero]

Highly unlikely, bks. It's not a major.


Sock needs to work on fitness even more than Harrison. He's obese fora tennis pro.Yeesh. What a waste of talent.

 

[cezero]

sorry to keep harping on fitness, but tennis is a game of movement more than anything else right now. it's a problem for a lot of american pros. taylor townsend is obese, period. sock and harrison are lazy, and seem satisfied to be top 100 players.

sloane stephens looks fitter now than she did even in australia, which shows that she's been putting some hard work in. i'm betting she'll see some better results if she keeps it up.

Serena, who never gets emotional before matches, could not hold back her tears when she heard the crowd cheering for her. They were raucous!

She also signed up for on-court coaching, which she NEVER does. She must have thought there might be a need for some support.

So glad to see her back at IW.

Kyrgios is about to play.

Love watching him play so looks like I'll be up for quite a while

2015 Order of Play | BNP Paribas Open

Big boys get going tomorrow fellas.

Harrison against Kei
Novak vs Baghdatis to start off the night session

Cilic makes his return tomorrow also against Monaco

Fed, Rafa, & Stan should be on the Sunday lineup

Kyrgios is a once in a generation talent.

If he ever chooses to eliminate the stupid "i give up shots" and commit to grinding, he can win majors. that's a big if. it will require a lot of work in his head and off the court.

I see Krygios almost the same way you do. He may be the most talented younger player out there (Although Coric is really good too).

My fear is I see a lot of Nick Almagro in him.

 

[bksballer89]

Wow Donald Young is up to 47.....I'm very proud of him

 

[bksballer89]

Good shit right now.

Ferrer down 5-4 in the final set tiebreak

 

[bksballer89]

Match of the day today is Kyrgios vs Dimitrov.

It is the 2nd match of the day following CHardy vs DOnald Young

 

[bksballer89]

Kyrgios is about to send the match to a deciding 3rd set.
