Tiafoe won’t be as amped up for this tournament as he gets at home. With Schwartzman it doesn’t matter – he always goes for it.

Opelka, I don’t want to think of him!

Maybe I’m wrong but I see improvement in him every time he plays. He does appear boxed in by having to play Tiafoe and then Schwartzman!

I picked Murray to win. Perhaps I should dial it back to the semi-final.

I forget who I picked to the final v Murray. There is still time to change it all around.

Indian Wells brackets were impossible to pick.

It should be more fun this week. Best of luck to everyone!

What happened?

This is the match I waited all day for.

C’mon Andy!

Go, Andy!

Andy is my pick and I could pay for it in the bracket. But I believe in Andy’s kind of wisdom and experience. Alcaraz is young, firey, and talented. A win over Alcaraz would be a great confidence […]

🤦‍♀️ AM must be laughing. There were just too many potential winners- it was confusing.

Margot,
Svitolina is a sound pick. Would love to see her win Indian Wells. Pliskova, Sakkari, Iga, or Laylah – all good. There were too many good choices to pick from! That is another reason I say why not, Emma? 😊

Meddy in 2. I am unsure about how many games it will take.

Popyrin in 3

Ruud could win this. He gets better every time I see him and this court is a slow hard court, so they say.

It’s no wonder that I have slipped downhill with my picking. One of the issues I have is stubbornly […]

I have no pity for people who choose to not vaccinate.

Emma had to go through qualifying as well, didn’t she? Or was that Layla?

Looking at group bracket picks for winners I see I have the best company!

A thrilling idea if Rublev wins, Scoot!

Medvedev and okay, this is probably silly but Raducanu. There are plenty of Canadians who call Indian Wells home. Actually, it is the wrong time of year for them. Usually, they are there escaping the chill of winter.

I forgot all about Rune. But he had not been placed in the main draw when brackets were open. I don’t know how I got Blinkova over Ostapenko in the Ostrava bracket. What a mess my brackets are in again!

Very […]

Thank you, Ramara it was a sad performance but it truly was the best he could do in that final. He said his legs were gone. I believe him, those five sets v Zverev were just too much for him to come back and take […]

It is! WTA and ATP are both running some interesting storylines.

Suddenly I don’t want Sabalenka to lose to the Canadian teen. Fight, fight, Aryna!

Then Medvedev will win the title, probably, unless FAA can knock Meddy out. It’s hard to think about Novak losing to Zverev but it does feel likely when I think about how Zverev got the gold in Tokyo and how well […]
