Indian Wells

Hey guys, this is a fan story from Fran about Indian Wells 2016. Just like last years fan story it has some awesome photos. Enjoy! I had high hopes for this year’s Indian Wells. I bought my tickets back in September and I had hoped this would be the year my son, Thomas, would get Federer’s autograph and I would …

This is a quick fan report from Sue who attended Indian Wells After my initial disappointment that there would be no Roger, I decided to focus on the new talent. Unfortunately, I dropped my camera on the cement stadium floor and damaged the lens. So, no photos. The weather can be quite extreme. From 90 F days to freezing cold …

Sue had a great post about her experience at Indian Wells this year. Instead of just recounting my experience at Indian Wells this year which was not too different from Sue’s, I thought I would talk about my experiences over the last few years. I first went to Indian Wells in 2010. It was a dream of mine to finally …

Today I have another Federer fan story to add to the growing collection on the blog. This one comes from Sue who attended Indian Wells for four days and got to see Roger play against Schwartzman and Seppi. So far we’ve had stories from Brisbane, Melbourne and and now Indian Wells; meaning Dubai is the only one that is missing …

So Indian Wells draws to a close and just like last year it wasn’t the result we all wanted as World Number 1 Novak Djokovic won his 4th title in Palm Springs defeating Roger 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-2 in a high quality encounter that lasted 2 hours and 17 minutes.

Masterclass here from the GOAT has he dispatched Tomas Berdych 6-4 6-0 to make swift progress into tomorrow’s Semi Final. There’s no way of describing it other than a complete demolition job from the Swiss and his game was working like a well oiled machine from the get go; moving well, serve clicking and his ground game on song off …

A milestone victory for Roger here as he record his 50th career win at the BNP Paribas Open with a comprehensive defeat of American Jack Sock 6-3 6-2. This was a much cleaner performance than the match against Seppi and Roger did a top job on serve dropping only 7 points in the entire match, facing zero break points and …

Normal service resumed here in the Sepperer rivalry as Roger avenged his Australian Open loss to the Italian by defeating him 6-3 6-4 at the BNP Paribas Open. Not a match that will live long in the memory as it was dominated by errors from both players as they struggled to acclimatise to the night time desert conditions in Indian …

Routine match for the GOAT here as he defeated Diego Schwartzman 6-4 6-2 in 1 hour 2 minutes to book his spot in the third round. A very simple encounter from start to finish for Roger as Schwartzman doesn’t have the artillery required to do any damage; a sub par serve and no dominating shot to force the issue. A …
