Besides the golfing, dance-offs and awards ceremonies, there is some tennis being played at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami! The top seeds join in second round action today, with Federer, Djokovic, Dementieva, Ivanovic, Roddick and Tsonga headlining (and Nadal playing doubles with Marc Lopez) but we’ve already had some first rounders worth mentioning.

The National Weather Service issued a high wind warning for the Indian Wells area this weekend – winds were reported at over 60 m.p.h., causing property damage and power outages. This didn’t deter Rafael Nadal from unleashing his own gale force on Andy Murray on [...]
Continue Reading →We have the last two quarter finals playing out today: Nadal vs. del Potro and Djokovic vs. Roddick. Obviously, we’re looking at the Nole vs. A-Rod match to determine who will play Rafa in the semis. And it should be a cracker of a match – both have been in good form lately and their [...]

The anticipation grew [...]

Which means that we won’t be watching Federer vs. Giquel in the vertigo-inducing main stadium, but hanging out at the side courts watching the supporting [...]
Continue Reading →The men’s singles draw is out for Indian Wells, the first Masters 1000 of the year. Boy, am I excited! LOOK OUT FOR: Nadal vs. Berdych and Djokovic vs. Stepanek in the Rd. of 16. Federer (coached by Cahill) vs. Verdasco (coached by Cahill) in the quarters. Andy Murray wilting before the third round. That [...]
Continue Reading →With the Williams sisters steering clear of Indian Wells, it’s all Serbs and Russians (minus budding doubles-specialist, Maria Sharapova) heading up the singles draw. Something tells me Safina, Jelena, et. al. are very supportive of the Williams sisters’ boycott! THE SEEDINGS 1. Safina, 2. Jankovic, 3. Dementieva, 4. Zvonareva, 5. Ivanovic (defending champ), 6. Kuznetsova, [...]

Yes, I’ll be tuning into Andy Roddick, James Blake and the Bryans this weekend on Tennis Channel (click here for the schedule), but I also want to watch Spain vs. Serbia and France vs. Czech [...]
