Indian Wells 2012. It was one for the record books. Without a doubt it was well attended and immensely profitable. But it was also “AmazeBalls ” for a dozen days. .. and ways. This was the first time ever that “Geezer” didn’t last till the finals…….. Heck. Geez even lasted thru the rains of La Quinta with the tourney ending in the semis.(back in the mid 80s)

It was a two weeks of Roger and Rafa and Novak and a few Andys and Marias and Anas and a Dusan and Max and Mats and DY and Illona and Xav and Maxime and Jope and Annika and Vic and Pancho and Mary and Bob and Mike and Sven and …. Ill stop … Or it would go on for hours….

The most amazing tennis seen came from the one and only Roger Federer. He came out for a match against Rafa and played thru ugly weather conditions that favored Nadal and completely dominated the bull. Roger played like the Roger of old. Roger truly doesn’t pull or need energy from his box….but for Rafa…. He thrives on the words from his team. The vamos. Vamanous. And Va Va Va. Or sometimes something that sounds like the word money is shouted his way ….. Roger looks at his box from time to time. He hears coach Paul Annacone or coach Gavin Rossdale say. Let’s go Rog. Or o.k. Rog. or the handsome and charming Nickolas Annacone sitting nearby. (what a nice guy) with the same let’s go Rog…

Indian wells. Usually very dry and cold @ night. From there it’s off to Miami to humidity and more humidity ……

The Tuesday night match was a battle between her serene highness and little miss sunshine. it was nice to see Sven Groenevelds sitting with Mr. Wozniaki. They make a great combo. Caroline beat Serena with a pair of fours. Caro was seeded number 4 and Serena number 10. But Serena was looking very solid. She slammed Sam Stosur. Great match tonight with Rory sitting cheering on his girl.
