Indian Wells

[Denis]

I was looking at past results and draws of Indian Well and even though I know, it was incredible to see
that 10 years ago..it was Federer fighting it off with likes of Henman, Safin, etc..
Fast Forward 5 years, it was Federer fighting it off with like of Nole, Novak, Rafa, Berdych etc..
Fast forward 5 years, its still Federer fighting it off with likes of Raonic,Gulbis, Dolgo, etc..
Its amazing how consistent he has been, playing with generations and we still give this guy hard times when he loses

Novak is still in the tourney, and if Federer makes it to the finals, he'll hopefully face No1e.

Yes, Nole is still there.. I am just trying to point out the generations Federer has been playing

I know, and yeah kudos to Federer for that stat. Not sure if the generation shift has occurred yet though. I think your guy will hit retirement before Novak and Rafa falter.

We are watching a rattled raonic here... fun.

... from 0-3 to 4-3 nice work.

That may be it with that break. Dolgo thinks he's playing on clay. Bashing the invisible clay out of his shoes there. Lunatic! We all know he's a nutjob and that just backs it up

Dolgo and Ernie - the Whacko Birds of the ATP. Love it.

This breakdown is all physical right now to me.

100% gassed and Milos is about to be exited from Indian Wells.

Not sure if he isn't as fit as he should be, or if he's just over played this week. Needs to be addressed. Because you can't have lazy footwork when you're that big.

tannoy playing 'keep feeling fascination by the human league' in the break.

Incredible returning from Dolgo today. Only 4 aces from Raonic or something like that.

You can hear Milos gasping for breath a bit alright. Might well be gassed.

I'd say he's 50/50 both gassed and deflated. Dolg's bothering the heck out of him.

 

[Front242]

Another great return by Dolgo there.

 

[Denis]

So where the hell did Dolgopolov find his form all of a sudden again? He's been crap for over a year now, and all of a sudden he's beating everyone.

 

[nehmeth]

Snowbirds from Canada are bumming right about now... congratulations Dolgo!

 

[tented]

Great win by Dolgopolov. It's great to see his run continue.

Have we discovered a new breed of dog?

Sorry for that horrible joke.

Apparently he was unwell. Obviously, he's feeling better. Hope he stays that way. Great win!

I'd sign off on that. Clearly he's trying to get as much time to breathe that he can between points, leading me to think his fitness is failing, but he also let himself get rattled by Dogo breaking back at 3-1. He also had no clue where Dogo was serving the entire match.

And the result is a straight set win by Dogo. Nice to see him backing up good results.

 

[Denis]

Fed up next. Hope he can keep up form. Pretty impressive I must say. Still a very weird forehand though.

 

[Front242]

Way to serve for your first ever Masters 1000 semi. Great performance by Dolgo and a nice friendly mutual respect at the net at the end.

 

[herios]

That was not a good performance by Milos, but also good for Alex!

Looks like Murray took the sail out of Milos congrats to Dolgo.
