2016 Indy Wells

Delbonis folding like a cheap tent. Double break point for Andy to send this final set to a tiebreaker

 

[bksballer89]

Wow down goes Murray after being up 4-1 early in the 3rd set.

Gasquet vs Cilic
Radwanska vs Kvitova
Novak vs Feliciano Lopez
Serena vs Halep
Goffin vs Wawrinka
Berdych vs Raonic
Isner vs Kei

These would be the top for me.

That's like a full day during the 4th round of QF of a major.

OT:

Saw Agassi vs. Sampras Indian Wells Finals in 2001 (YouTube).

* The points seemed really short compared to today's rallies. Not many over 10 strokes, if any.
* Sampras had trouble with his serve as the match wore on.
* Agassi served a high % (85% through most of the match), but it didn't seem like it.
* Sampras had some nice backhand slices down the line.

* Both players wore headsets and talked to the media and fans, after the match.

I don't want to give spoiler results. But I'm glad I watched it.

Stanimal down a set and 4-1 in the 2nd to Goffin.

Cmon Wawrinka.

I guess since FED is out, a Stanimal vs. Djokovic (with Stanimal winning) would be my ideal Sunday.

Thanks for posting and alerting these. I appreciate this as a way to keep track of what's going on during the next day.

Berdych - Raonic should be great. Raonic is ramping up his game finally and could seriously threaten at Wimby

Raonic won the 1st set

 

[nuraman00]

With Wawrinka out in a 3rd set tiebreaker, I'll be rooting for Isner or Raonic to win the title.

I don't mind if Tsonga or Berdych win, but they've been to 4 Masters 1000 Finals each, and won one each.

A major is more important, especially given their age.

Isner and Raonic have been to 2 Masters 1000 each, and lost both. So it would be cooler and a bigger step, to see them win their first.

Tsonga has zero chance of winning a major.

That had to be disappointing for John to lose a 2nd set tiebreaker when he could have ended the match if he won the TB

 

[bksballer89]

1 Nishikori hold away from this match being decided in a tiebreak

 

[bksballer89]

That's disappointing for John to lose the match in 2 tiebreakers since tiebreakers are usually his bread and butter

 

[nuraman00]

Tsonga has zero chance of winning a major.

Agree, but that doesn't mean that his goals shouldn't be to win one, since he's already accomplished things like winning Masters 1000s.

Yeah.

Raonic vs Goffin in one semis on Saturday

 

[cezero]

Rafa competed well for a full set against Nole, but got manhandled other than that.

I'm betting Nole is glad to be facing Raonic in the final. Miami's just a few days away, and the odds of a bunch of long, grueling points with Raonic are slim to none.

 

[Old Lion]

COuld be a preview of the major finals for the next few years.

 

[bksballer89]

I'm really becoming a fan of Raonic new style of play
