• Totally agree.
  
  Everyone has a lot to play for.
  
  It will be difficult for Rafa to defend this one, but I sure hope he does.

• I remember last year very well as I saw a lot of the matches live. Del Potro was on a solid run beating 2 top HC specialists on his way to the final and then eventually running out of gas. He gave some memorable performances there. Too bad he didn't get the title. Just ran out of luck with the draw. It's a crazy requirement to beat Murray, Nole and Nadal in succession in a Masters tournament. Given his form at that time, he could have won his first Masters title. Another time he came very close was back in 2009, I think, in Montreal, where he won the first set but then lost the next two to Andy. But he then went on to win the USO by beating Nadal in straight in the semi and then Federer in a very well fought 5 sets match in the final.
  
  But I still feel his Indian Wells performance was higher quality than the Montreal one or even the USO one.

• Seems that Marc Lopez's doubles partner, Marcel Granollers is out until Miami.
  
  I wonder who will be Marcel's replacement?   Didn't Rafa and Marc win the doubles championship at Indian Wells in 2012, and 2010 if memory serves?

• rafa still has back issues.
  
  he is asking for trouble if he plays doubles along with singles.
  
  
  it is also a waste of time for him and it takes the all important focus away from his singles.

• Men's Singles Main Draw in post #1....
  
  Potential QF's
  
  Nadal - Murray
  
  Wawrinka - Federer
  
  Gasquet - Berdych
  
  Djokovic - Del Potro (he's injured, but playing? Tsonga is in Del Potro's eighth)
  
  Respectfully,
  masterclass

• I don't think it gets tough for Rafa till the QF.  Stepanek/Istomin are no match,  Dolgopolov and Monfils/Fognini are all very inconsistent.
  
  Murray might have the toughest road.

  Indeed. On top of that, he doesn't do well in IW.
