Crikey! That's an energy-buster when you are only just back playing after a bout of shingles.  |

It was one heck of a set.
Another surprise was Federer being knocked out by a qualifier ranked something like 160. Bet the organisers are miffed it won't be a Murray/Federer final.

And Jamie has just won his first doubles trophy of the season at a different tournament.  |

Yes, well done to him and Bruno.
Also well done Sam Querry who beat Rafa to win the singles at the same tournament.

It is because Rafa seems to be back to playing his best again. I'd have a bet on him to get the French Open Crown again as well  |

Murray beaten in straight sets by Pospisil (who played so well in the recent Davis Cup tie) in the 2nd round of Indian Wells. Am pleased for the Canadian, who has had a bit of a drought where winning is concerned over the last yr or so. Hopefully this will give him a boost and he can climb back up the rankings. He really ought to be in the top 30.

Murray never seems to do well in Indian Wells. Good win for Pospisil though.

Two matches I would have loved to have watched.
Djokovic v Kyrgios (Kyrgios won)
Federer v Nadal ( Federer won)

Yes, I would love to have seen both those. Still, not long till the French, and for the last couple of yrs there has been 10+ hrs coverage per day on Freeview channels, so that should satisfy my viewing desires! |
