Federer vs. Chung up next in Indian Wells.

Chung is backing up his Australian Open success here and this match should be much more interesting since he won't be suffering with blisters this time. Federer needs to win to keep his No. 1 ranking as well.

No, he would have kept it anyway. Only needed to make the semifinals.

Coric was brilliant but the old man scrapped and scrapped and found a way in the end. :D Thought Federer struggled with the slowish/windy conditions (he's been playing later in the evening in his other matches) and Coric was really dictating with his backhand. He just made some bad unforced errors at crucial points and Federer capitalized. But it's been a while since someone's outplayed him like Coric was doing at times today. Very good match and shows how good a fighter Federer is, no way inferior to Nadal/Djokovic in that department.

You're like clockwork. :)

Del Potro's power is quite something. Fed manages to hold at the start of the second though.

Yeah... this is going to be an uphill battle for Federer. Del Potro is blasting him off the baseline and not missing a shot. Federer isn't serving or moving all that well either. Hasn't got into any of his return games.

Some shocking forehand misses today.

I mean, missing the court by 10 metres, hitting the net halfway up from a midcourt sitter.. some of it is the pressure Del Potro is putting him under, but some terrible misses as well.

Federer missed 3 matchpoints on his own serve.. :( Guess you can't win every tight match you play.

But yeah, fully deserved for Del Potro. First Masters Series title for him.

Can't help but be happy for JMDP. Fully deserved and what an amazing effort by him to come back to the top after those wrist surgeries. If he hadn't had those, we could easily have been looking at a 3+ Major winner.

yeah if not federer, i am happy delpo won...and i agree, he is one of the few players who can beat federer when he is playing close to his best...he would have won a few majors now had he managed to stayed healthy...

Yeah, thank god for Delpo, without him the run-up to the clay court season would be an absolute snooze-fest. If he can stay fit I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him win a Slam this year.

Djokovic lost again, to Paire. Really looked out of sorts. It's hard to come back from a long break and start winning immediately like Federer and Nadal have done in the past.
