BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells, CA, 2024 - ATP Masters 1000

[Fiero425]

If this match determines the #2 ranking, I can say now that Red will surpass Chuck. Charlie is trending down and not likely to make it that far. Besides, he's lost his passion. Maybe losing his #2 rank will fire him. He has a ton of points coming off in the next 3 months.

Trending? You're kidding? As talented as Chuck is, he's been flaming out not even making finals! IIRC, Alcaraz hasn't won anything since Wimbl.!

IW Update:
OUT: Popyrin
IN: LL will play against Marozsan

 

[Fiero425]

Eubank's run over it seems! It was nice for a time, but will probably settle back into mediocrity! Waiting for Murray who has to fight off Goffin!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Andy Murray played one of his best matches in months to easily defeat David Goffin (Q) 63 62.Andy is 8-0 against Goffin and has never lost a set ( Clijsters and Flipkens were in Goffins box).
Murray will play his 2nd round match against Rublev on Friday

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Raining now matches suspended and also very windy conditions
For now play not before 5.45 pm local time

I'm not kidding. And he is trending down, not up. Forget winning a tourney since Wimbo. He hasn't made a final since Cinci. Besides, I didn't say his condition is permanent, just where he stands right now. I fully expect him to kick things into gear again.

Word has just come through that Rafa Nadal has withdrawn from IW, just trying to get more details, though reading news from the the exho slam in Las Vegas he had a contrature tightening in his back after arriving at IW, that was from David Ferrer, who was a commie for the Spanish stream for the exho
Rafa has just confirmed this on his Twitter post he has withdrawn.
Rafa said that after his exho, he is not ready to play at a high level that is needed. Rafa said he will try for the clay.
LL Summit Nagel will play Raonic on Thursday night

Tommy Haas, tournament director after Nadal's withdrawal, has said ' tournament will refund those who purchased Thursday evening session Stadium 1 tickets directly from the event

 

[rafanoy1992]

I am glad Tommy Haas will give refund to the fans that specifically bought tickets just to watch Nadal play (myself included).

I am glad Tommy Haas will give refund to the fans that specifically bought tickets just to watch Nadal play (myself included).

I just posted that news, Rafa said he will now try for the clay, quite frankly I am not surprised he withdrew, watching him in practice he could hardly serve, could not bend his back at all, that was after the exho in Las Vegas

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Matches are still suspended and it is 7.15pm local time at IW
I wonder if there will be any more play, or will they be able to complete the suspended matches
No word as yet from the officials

They should just cancel day 1 and play the suspended matches tomorrow, forecast is good

 

[rafanoy1992]
