Top Seeds Marching on at Indian Wells

by Erica on March 17th, 2008

One of these days, i’m going to fiill out a tennis tournament’s bracket just like you fill out the March Madness bracket. Or the way I fill out a March Madness bracket anyway. Sadly, I can’t enter any bracket pools because of my job, but at least I can still fill it out and have the self-satisfication of knowing I kicked butt doing it.

I digress…Indian Wells. Pacific Life Open. That’s where the action is at right now. Roger Federer is rolling…meaning he’s won a match and will next be facing Nicolas Mahut - whoever that is.

Andy Roddick failed me. I endorsed him and then he failed. Tommy Haas rolled him in straight sets and that’s about all I have to say about that.

James Blake bounced Carlos Moya in the third round to move on so I guess the American dream is still alive. Sort of.

All the other usual suspects are still making their shots and moving on: David Nalbandian (although he faces a tough Radek Stepanek), Mikhail Youzhny and Lleyton Hewitt are facing off, Nikolay Davydenko and Mardy Fish. Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (who would have thought he’d become a common household name?), Richard Gasquet, David Ferrer…so really, nothing has changed. It doesn’t get exciting until some of these dudes are knocked off.

Oh yeah, the women are playing too.
