If Dominika Cibulkova has a favorite animal, it has to be the chameleon. When she first came up, her speed made her a clay player. Then she turned into an indoor hardcourt player. This year, she's an outdoor hardcourt player, with the Australian Open final on her record and now this.
Grigor Dimitrov had had a very late semifinal the night before (all matches at this event take place late; you'd think it was a cartel hiding from public scrutiny). He admitted he didn't feel too good after that, and when asked how he managed to come back from a break down in the third set of this three hour match, he declared, "Belief is the only thing that kept me going today...
In the first set of this, Roger Federer kept threatening Novak Djokovic and not quite getting the break. Things didn't look good. But he really does seem to be rediscovering his confidence. Or something...
This time, Tomas Berdych had his first serve working; he put sixty-odd percent of his first deliveries in the court. As a result, he was never broken. He's still only #7 in safe points, but he's in the soft half of the draw.
Indian Wells ,California. The BNP Paribas tourney is an oasis in the Coachella Valley, played @ the Indian Wells tennis "sort of gardens" (not an abundance of flowers or greenery) But It's still an amazing site. One of the largest sites for a tennis venue.
Former grand slam finalist Marcos Baghdatis beat Miguel Angel Reyes of 6-2 6-4, American Donald Young put out Finn Jarkko Nieminen 6-3 6-3 and Rio finalist Alexandr Dolgopolov started with a defeat of eighth seed Vasek Pospisil 6-2, 6-2.
If you look only at the match stats, the wonder is that this was so close. Pablo Andujar should have won this walking away. How often do you get fourteen break point chances against Rafael Nadal on clay?
Nadal is back, in a big way. That’s good for tennis isn’t it? Specifically, is that good for men’s tennis?
Defending three-time champion David Ferrer sort of apologized after this was over.
Tomas Berdych went up an early break in the first set -- and then started to lost his grip.
This place just keeps getting stranger. This was surely Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova's tournament to win.
This was, as it turns out, an incredibly routine day for the top four seeds, none of whom lost more than six games.
