In the tennis world this week Indian Wells kicks off, Roger and Andy R play an exhibition match in New York and more tourney tix go on sale.
But first, a review of recent results:
- Federer beat Murray in the Dubai final. Well done to Murray for beating Djokovic in the semis.
- Ferrer beat Verdasco in the Acapulco final
- Kevin Anderson defeated Australian qualifier Marinko Matosevic in the Delray Beach final. Well done Marinko for making the final – we look forward to seeing more of you this year.

Great to have you in the challenge and I hope the issue gets fixed soon so you can join the group.
I think the Roger v ARod match will be on TV around lunchtime tomorrow my time zone so am hoping to be able to watch some it too.
Cheers

Hey Mel 🙂
Well I just registered for the ATP Draw Challenge. Registration went well, but seems like they have a little problem atm, because I only get an error saying: Unable to connect to the forums database.
But I will check again tomorrow and see if I find the group.
Will share this on our forum as well.
And yes, looking forward to IW. That would be one of the tournaments I would love to go and watch as well. Hopefully I get to watch a lot on TV, I’m so tired of watching streams all the time.
Have a wonderful day and talk to you soon 🙂
