Indian Wells

 

Early Matches:

 

Singles – Third Round: (2) Maria Sharapova def. (25) Carla Suarez Navarro 7-5 6-3

This was a very tough match for Maria Sharapova — it’s hard to believe she can survive four more like that. Still, she keeps alive her hopes of reaching #2. Whereas Carla Suarez Navarro will have to settle for being a little below the Top Twenty.

 

Singles – Third Round: (6) Sara Errani def. Johanna Larsson 6-3 6-1

This once again put Sara Errani in the lead in the contest for #6 — for the moment.

 

Singles – Third Round: (13) Maria Kirilenko def. Mallory Burdette 6-3 4-6 6-2

It’s a good thing Maria Kirilenko gets a day off — this took two and three-quarter hours. And Kirilenko still needs one more win to defend her points. Mallory Burdette will rise to probably a little above #110.

 

Singles – Third Round: (19) Klara Zakopalova def. (12) Dominika Cibulkova 6-4 7-5

Klara Zakopalova seems to really like this place; it’s the second straight year she has made the fourth round. That may be sufficient to keep her at #22. Dominika Cibulkova will probably be #13 or #14.

 

Doubles – Second Round: (3) Petrova/Srebotnik def. Jankovic/Lucic-Baroni 6-2 7-6(7-4)

With Errani/Vinci and Hlavackova/Hradecka both out, this should be a big opportunity for Petrova/Srebotnik.

 

Doubles – Second Round: (4) Makarova/Vesnina def. Goerges/Shvedova 6-2 7-6(7-4)

Makarova/Vesnina is the other team with a chance to benefit this week. Although Elena Vesnina can’t move much; she was last year’s finalist.

 

Doubles – Second Round: Date-Krumm/Dellacqua def. Raymond/Stosur 6-1 4-6 10-6

It really does seem as if Samantha Stosur forgets how to play doubles every time she steps away from it. And playing a fellow Australian probably didn’t help.
