cushynumber 25,178 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Dubai final for Andy - that drop shot against kohlshrieber at match point down, was unreal in the QF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRodgA2k8 542 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Indian Wells could be fantastic in the earlier rounds http://www.bnpparibasopen.com/en/media-and-news/news/2017/03/08/group-of-death-preview Quote Andy Murray took a few touches, then struck the ball high into the desert air. The Scotsman was playing a little morning soccer, a warm-up activity that’s become something of a ritual here over the years on the impossibly green grounds of the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. He looked at ease, smiling in the sunshine. And who could blame him? The World No. 1 finds himself atop the BNP Paribas Open draw as far away from his most storied rivals as could be. As fate would have it, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin Del Potro all landed in the same quarter at the bottom of the draw, in FIFA-speak their own grupo de la muerte.

JamieD 18,936 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Nadal spent much of that match going to Federer's forehand, in utter terror of the backhand. What a bizarre turn of events. How do you improve a shot that much aged 35? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRodgA2k8 542 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 The odds before that match were simply mental tbh! Sounds like a dominating performance from Federer ?? Kyrgios beats Djokovic for the second time in as many weeks as well, impressive from him! Federer vs Kyrgios could be an interesting matchup!

Skybet gave 9/4 for Delpo to have more aces against Novak other night, crazy, won with ease! Saw a few people saying that because Indian Wells is one of the slowest hard courts, Nadal would still have the edge. I don't see why. It was clear from the AO that 1) Nadal's forehand is not as vicious as it was and 2) Federer is absolutely devouring high bounces to the backhand regardless.
