Nobody knows Novak Djokovic like Marian Vajda, the long-time coach who stepped aside for something of a sabbatical this year to spend more time with his family and handed the reins over to Boris Becker. And this year he thinks patience will be required...
Global attendance in excess of 431,000 fans through the gate has left Indian Wells Masters organizers pleased with their site expansion which brought a second showcase stadium online in less than a year from groundbreaking to first ball hit.
Flavia Pennetta’s title victory in the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells means she is close to breaking back into the top ten of WTA after a five year absence at the age of 32.
Boris Becker was certainly in need of some good news from afar as he sat in his Wimbledon home and watched Novak Djokovic win the BNP Paribas Open title in Indian Wells. The absent German had just lost an expensive Spanish court case that will result in a Majorcan villa he has owned for 17 years being confiscated and set to be auctioned off for a predicted 7.1 million euros...
Roger Federer did not participate in last year's Sony Open Tennis tournament and this time around he is coming off long fortnight in Indian Wells, where he finished runner-up to Novak Djokovic. Federer lost Sunday's BNP Paribas Open final 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(3) after two hours and 12 minutes.

Alexandr Dolgopolov’s homeland is currently beset with problems but the Ukrainian is reveling in the freedom he is experiencing in California’s Coachella Valley as he has reached the semi-final of a Masters 1000 series tournament for the first time at Indian Wells’ BNP Paribas Open.
A few hours before Roger Federer swept past Kevin Anderson in straight sets in Indian Wells, his coach Stefan Edberg set up a final showdown against countryman Thomas Enqvist at the Kings of Tennis tournament in Stockholm.
This should have been over in straight sets. Flavia Pennetta -- who to that point had been broken only twice -- talked to her coach and served for the match at 5-4 in the second set, and was broken. Two games later, Pennetta was broken again, and a match that appeared to be settled went to a third set. Sloane Stephens stayed strong at the beginning of the third set, going up 3-0.
In this kind of form, Roger Federer may not even need a coach. He certainly would not want one on the court in between games. Federer improved to 18-2 this season with a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Kevin Anderson in the quarterfinals of the BNP Paribas Open on Thursday night. The world No. 8 will go up against Alexandr Dolgopolov in Saturday's semis.
With one title and a 15-4 record to his credit this season, Ernests Gulbis is playing arguably the best tennis of his life. You could almost say this is a new Gulbis.
Twelve matches down. Ten to go? That's right; seven days into the BNP Paribas Open, Roger Federer and John Isner boast an incredible combined record of 12-0. They are both 6-0; 3-0 in singles and 3-0 in doubles.
When you have an even record with "God" on the other side of the net, you know you're doing something right. That's whom Leander Paes was going up against on Thursday night at the BNP Paribas Open--at least according to Rick Leach, a former No. 1 doubles player in the world who now works with Paes on a part-time basis.
