The tournament at Indian Wells starts today!
This is one of the biggest tennis tournaments aside from the 4 Grand Slams.
Definitely one of my favourites to watch. Maybe it's the desert, or the strong wind that circulates the centre court, or the cool looking trophy. There is a huge sum of prize money involved, so all top players are expected to show. Except for the Williams sisters, becoz they vowed to never play at Indian Wells again after an incident that happened a few years ago.
Nevertheless the quality of the field is still strong, and I'm sure the women will be relieved with the absence of Serena and Venus. Oh and Maria is making her long awaited comeback too! After being sidelined since July, it will be exciting to see how she does. Her ranking has dropped out of the top 20. OH but she's only playing doubles this week, partnering Russian compatriot Elena Vesnina.
In the men's draw, top seed Nadal is seeded to meet defending champion Djokovic in the semis, while Federer and Murray are in the bottom half of the draw. It's hard to say who is favourite, coz all of them have been struggling a little lately.
