STADIUM 1 start 12:00 noon
[6] J Jankovic (SRB) vs [2] C Wozniacki (DEN) – WTA SINGLES FINAL
Color me prejudiced but I could care less about either of these ladies. It is difficult enough for me to attend to the WTA but watching slouchy vs bland is definitely not going to endear me to its merits.
Not Before 2:00 PM
[7] A Roddick (USA) vs [20] I Ljubicic (CRO) – ATP SINGLES FINAL
Wow! It is amazing that for all the potential exciting match-ups I contemplated for Indian Wells just over a week ago, we end up with these two. Not on my fantasy ballot at all! It’s a case of who needs this more and while I can probably argue for Andy needing some success after the painful losses of last year, I am pulling for Ljuby to take this one.
Score 1 for the tourney organizers; if you can’t get a Fed vs Nadal final (was that even possible?), having an American is the next best thing. Seeing how folks rushed Stadium 1 to see Andy in doubles action earlier this week, I have no doubt they will be excited to sit for this match.
As for me, it is a downer end for IW. Guess it was not so bad to lose out on winning finals weekend tickets in that 35 day giveaway after all. Blessing in disguise :). Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®
