Indian Wells

Roger is still approaching new milestones in tennis history with impressive leaps. He has already won the title in the Californian desert three times – he could celebrate his 500th match victory on the ATP tour by taking home the Pacific Life Open title this year!

The draw in Indian Wells promises a rather comfortable start and then a more demanding round. Roger’s opponent in the second round (the 32 seeded players do not need to play the first one) will be Jan Hayek (CZE ATP 74) or a qualifier, thereafter possibly Carlos Moya or Radek Stepanek. From round four onwards he could meet finalists of the last two years, after that names such as Dawidenko, Gonzalez, Murray or Haas could still be on the board. Then, at the final stage, Rafael Nadal or Andy Roddick might be the players to beat.

Roger today stands at 495 matches won to 125 defeats.
