Chela/Prieto vs. Henman/Murray A

NOTE: According to the Indian Wells Website daylight saving starts on Sunday (put clocks forward an hour). Therefore the time difference from GMT changes.

Andy beat Lopez in straight set was a potentially tough match GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO A ROD :)

Tim :(

Benjamin :(

Misha :(

Is anyone other than me slightly worried about the Federer-Canas match-up?

Canas is a good player, although he only came in as a lucky loser. Could he be the kind of first-round opponent that could catch Fed out? I guess he beat Fed back in 2002, so perhaps Roger'll be careful not to underestimate him.

Still, although I predicted a 2-0 win for Roger, there's a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that this could be less straightforward than it looks on paper.

Any thoughts?

I think you'll find that Chet and Wise are worried that poor old Fed might get beaten by Canas....... :whistle: have a look at the Indian Wells thread that chet started B)

Yes, it was that sort of day, wasn't it :(

It didn't do much for my predictions either :yikes:

I know. :(

:o

Now Murray, Haas, A-Rod, Blake are players I would like to see do well.

I'm too nervous to make any predictions-everytime I say "there is no way x will beat y" the reverse happens!!

do you play the predictions contests saraless? I don't think mine went too well :shrug:

Blake was obviously the highly seeded casualty yesterday! Also, the Bryans lost in the Doubles.....Interestingly, they are no longer joint 1st in the rankings - Bjorkman and Mirnyi are ahead of them. However, the Bryans are still leading the race.

Moya dealt with Canas with not an amazing amount of bother then!

That's obviously why no one wants to beat Federer in the early rounds of a tournie - doesn't seem to do much for your chances of actually winning........ :P

Surely beating him is better for your chances of winning than losing to him... :wacko:

yes.......brain not quite in gear yet! :blink: Meant it appears that losing to Fed means you'll lose in the next round...... :unsure:

That old foe "logic" getting in the way of making a good point is it?

:cry:

:ban:

To be fair, I thought it was quite a funny remark, but I could not resist popping the ballon as it were..

It's still early in the day, please don't ban me...... I will be coming and going just like SF then!

I must stop attempting to make tennis-related posts BEFORE i've had a cup of coffee in the morning!!!

i should stick to copy-and-pasting results and schedules before midday i think :blink:

Oh James.

Seems Nadal needs to write another "thank you" cheque ... are there any players left in the draw who have a winning h2h against him?

The first quarter of the draw has really now become Novak's to lose; I don't think he's got what it takes to beat Nadal in a final.

So I hope that the finalist from this half of the draw comes from the other quarter, which looks a lot tougher: I would like to see Murray go through, but also Haas and Gonzalez have been looking good lately. And I would really be pleased for Davydenko too if he went through, as he always seems to get so much abuse by people, even though he's a really good player. Beating Nadal in a TMS final would perhaps finally get him the recognition he deserves. (On the other hand, I am of course firmly rooting for Murray to boot him out. :D )

From the third quarter, which is also very strong, I'd expect Andy Roddick to go through. This way, we'd finally get the anticipated Nadal-Roddick match, which we've been denied quite a few times in the past. I'm not entirely sure what would happen in such a match, but it'll be exciting to watch! Let's hope Andy doesn't bow out to Gasquet now that I've said this ...

Hey, I don't think there was actually anything *formally* logically wrong in your remark, since you didn't say that losing would be good for your chances, did you? It's the old difference between a statement and its converse.

If I may rephrase:

Thank you MJT! :hug:

I wasn't too surprised about Blake...

It's surely got to be Nadals tournament, now? It would be so good to see him win-not only because I think it would up his confidence, but then would pave the way for cracking clay court.

The other half of the draw is interesting-quite a test for Gonzo to see if he can beat Haas...and prove he can consistently deliver some goods.

How about:

That's obviously why no one wants to meet Federer in the early rounds of a tournie - doesn't seem to do much for your chances of actually winning even if you beat him........ :P

You're welcome. :hug:
