Weeks 10 & 11 - ATP Masters 1000 - BNP Paribas Open - Indian Wells, CA, USA


I fancy Andy to win this though I don't think he should be playing at all, he should have got a bye, Cameron Norrie didn't have to deal with this 'lucky loser' rubbish.

The rest before playing in the third round would have done him a power of good.

Based on Jeff Sackmanns last analysis in 2019, Indian Wells was the slowest hardcourt event on tour , slowest non clay. Miami holds up as slightly faster but not the fastest. All these slower hardcourts play into Cams type of court. Australian Open was much faster with us open, Canada and Cinci all faster than the spring sunshine swing hardcourt events. But IW is slowest and Miami should suit Jack more, assuming he can physically survive the humidity.

Andy off and running 2-1. Only averaging 4 mins a game so far. Tame by Andys standards !

You have to give it to the Indian Wells crowd they like the Brits. It was the same with Emma's match.

4-3 Andy on serve, very easy service games for Andy and he is in with a chance on every return game. Matter of time youd think. Dont want to jinx it but cant see him losing this one.

Wee warning for time violation as a receiver as well gives it a bit more edge.

Andy in control of most of the points only manages Deuce this time and nets for 4-4. Worry is he chucks in a poor service game and loses this set when he is comfortably in charge.

With Andy its hard to predict but I think he will run away with this now. Albot is a challenger player essentially, Andy is too clever for him.

Another 3 break points from 0-40 go astray. 7/8 now.

Looking ahead I wonder if the players will pick and choose some of the Masters events going forwards - the top players I mean.

Miami follows IW at 3 days gap.
Monte Carlo is 7 days after Miami
Madrid is 10 days after MC
Rome is 3 days later.
Roland Garros is just a week after that

Canada and Cinci are back to back, one starts as the other completes
The US Open starts 7 days after Cinci finishes

Some of these will prove punishing for players doing well, hard to see how players will be able to perform week in week out. Look out for lots of upsets

4-2 up 2nd set now home and hosed in next 10 minutes. Andy just waiting for Albot to make errors.
