Sharapova vs Azarenka: Playing the Screaming Indian Wells Final Sunday

Yes both Sharapova and Azarenka make their presence felt and even those fans who are watching the match on big screens outside the court can listen to the shout-outs from the inside of the court. 

But we really want to see the final rather than being 'heard.'

Unfortunately, much to the annoyance of the many fans and even the audience, both ladies cannot control their grunting and shouting. Whenever Azarenka is asked about her rather unusual behaviour, she says that her grunting is similar to someone snoring - annoying as it can be, it's nothing she can control or stop.

Whatever it may be, it is World No 1 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus and the current Australian Open champion is all set to face the Russian second seeded Sharapova this evening and all fans are desperately waiting for the creaming final to begin. The title showdown at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden will be a repeat of the Australian Open final in January when Azarenka won her first grand slam title with a crushing 6-3 6-0 victory over Sharapova.

Who wins this evening - may be someone who shouts and scares the opponent more!! Well let us keep our fingers crossed and watch the screaming ladies play the final - both are hot favourites and have the strength and resilience to dismantle each other.

The 'screaming' final of Indian Wells Tennis commences 18:00 GMT.

Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal: | Indian Wells Semi Final Saturday Night

Much to the delight and excitement of the tennis lovers, fans and players, the two tennis giants Rafeal Nadal and Roger Federer are head to head Saturday night in the second semi final of the night. The first semi final is being played between the defending champion Djokovic and 12th seeded american Inser tonight at 18:00 GMT.

Federer vs Nadal: The exciting semi final Saturday night

As for the semi final at the Indian Wells, California USA between Nadal and Federer, this is going to be something many wanted to happen - and it is here tonight.

Federer, the former world No. 1 easily overpowered 9th seeded Juan Martin del Potro 6-3 6-2 on Friday to become the first man to win 250 matches in Masters 1000 level tournaments. Incidently, both Federer and Potro were seeking their  20th victories of the year 2012. ANd the luck played in the favour of 16-time grand slam champion who won for the fourth time in 2012 against the man who beat him in the 2009 U.S. Open final. Although, Federer has been suffering from cold during the tournament, he overcame it and di not allow it to cast any shadow on his match against Potro.

On the other hand, Rafael Nadal had a rather difficult time with David Nalbandian, who clinched the second set from Nadal before finally losing to him the third set. nadal won 4-6 7-5 6-4 at the Indian Wells Masters on Friday. This win brings him face to face with Federer in the semi final of the Indian Wells tonight. This will be a rematch of Nadal and Federer's Australian Open semi-final.

Weather forecast for the Saturday night is not much favourable as rain and wind is in the forecast, beating the sun and rather warm temperatures that have prevailed during the two-week tournament.

Federer and Nadal have met 27 times with Nadal having won 18, including four of the last five. Federer on the other hand has improved to 37-2 with five titles since the U.S. Open. His other loss came in Davis Cup against American John Isner, who advanced to the other semifinal against top-ranked Novak Djokovic.

As for the Indian Wells, federer has won the title thrice while Nadal has won it twice. So quite naturally Nadal will be vying for a third time win, if he makes it to the final - but it is something Federer wouldn't want tonight and will try his best to shatter Nadal's dream of the third crown. Rather Federer himself would want to win the title fourth time, if he sails to the final. But would Nadal allow that?

We keep our fingers crossed and watch this exciting match tonight and I think the whole world be focusing on to semi final between Federer and Nadal rather than Djokovic and Inser.

The semi final between Federer and Nadal commences 19:30 GMT Saturday.

Indian Wells: Ivanovic vs Wozniacki

In the early hours of the Wednesday morning, there is yet another interesting match in waiting - a match between the two former champions and WTA World Number Ones Ivanovic and Wozniacki. This match should be interesting as the head to head duel between the two girls for the QF spot attracts lot of fans and audience to witness the match.

Ivanovic vs Wozniacki

Ana Ivanovic who won the Indian Wells title in 2008 is all set to move on into the higher ranks. On the other hand the defending champion and number four Caroline Wozniacki is also no less and can be adequately dangerous to Ivanovic Wednesday morning.

In the recent years, both have met four times with equal success and defeats. Ivanovic won over Wozniacki in 2008 at the French and Australian Open. And coming on with an equalizer, Wozniacki  won over Ivanovic at Beijing in 2010 and lately in Dubai Duty Free last month. This puts both the girls in balance but this is a new arena far from France, China, Australia and Dubai. Playing in USA would be a delight for both as well as for the fans, though it will be difficult to remain awake till the match commences.

Ivanovic still regrets her losing to the Dane and says,"I felt like I was quite close in Dubai. The quality of the match was a little bit up and down. I'm really looking forward to a rematch."

Ivanovic's remarks speaks of a comeback. Who wins - no one is really very sure of. Let us keep our fingers crossed.

The match commences at 03:30 GMT

Watch Live: Roger Federer vs Milos Raonic at Indian Wells Wednesday 14 March

There is so much of sports going on around these days, that it is difficult to write about something else. And if one takes time out for something else, one may not be doing justice to entertainment which everyone so preciously wants as a time out from the bloody news of wars and political unrest and falling economies and rising oil prices. I for myself really want a time out. Instead of writing about horrors of wars or of people-fooling politicians, I am focusing on sports, which at least provide us respite from all other problems and conflicts, so long we keep watching sports, applauding sportsmen who put in their best to provide us healthy and lively entertainment. And whenever I get a time out of sports, travel brings me back to some of the most beautiful places of the world.

Besides Asia Cup Cricket being played in Dacca, and lots of football, there is tennis - a game that I personally like and played for long and I really love watching it in whatever form or wherever it is being played. And this bring me to the Indian Wells.

Federer vs Milos Raonic

What is being tipped as the toughest match of the ongoing Indian Wells, Federer faces a young but very powerful player, who is all set to take on stars like Federer.

Although Federer did not have much difficulty if taming Kudla Sunday night 6-4, 6-1, many believe that Milos Raonic is no Kudla and may entrench aging Federer to provide good enetrtainment to the fans on both sides of the net.

Even Federer has acknowledged Raonic's powerful serves and on his fitness syas, "Against a guy like this you’re obviously going to try to make it as athletic as possible." Which means that Raonic is in his best form, both physically and mentllay to give a tough ime to Federer.

Raonic too is eager to meet Federer, whom he missed meeting last year. For Raonic, this is a big day - palying against a sixteen times grand slammer and already three times Indian Wells winner in three straight years from 2004-2006.

The slow speed of the court may help Federer to control the speedy balls from raonic and have enough time to respond. On the other hand, Raonic due to his athletic physique may tire out Federer to gain time and win points.

The match will be played at Stadium 1, a big honour for Raonic for palying on such a prestigeous court perhaps for the first time in his life, at 02:00 GMT.

The Indian Wells are getting hotter as the tournament progresses. While Roger Federer clashes Milos Raonic later at nigh, it is Nadal vs fellow Spaniard Marcel Granollers during third-round action on Tuesday night. 

Nadal vs Granollers

While Nadal has met many new players, it would be the honour of Granollers for not only comabting his fellow countryman, but also once the number one and still exhubrant Rafeal Nadal.

Granollers is presently ranked at number 26th and has been sailing through with a bye in the first rouns and a combating  6-3, 2-6, 6-3 victory over Tommy Haas.

For Nadal Indian Wells is very important, specially after being ousted from the Australian Open at the hands of Novak Djokovic. He has to sail through by his aggressive game and not only win over Granollers tonight, but also all other encounters to making it to the finals. But so are Federer and Djokovic aiming at. So it is survival of fittest, aggressor, determined and the resilient to move on.

Nadal is two time Indian Wells champion and is surely expected a straight victory over Granollers tonight.

Indian Wells Open 2012: Maria Sharapova vs Halep

The Indian Wells' male stars are sailing well throught the tournament with no major set backs seen so far, except Murray, who just a few days back lifted the Dubai Duty Free Tennis trophy. Murray fell prey to Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-4 6-2 by  in the second round of the Indian Wells Masters.

Russian Maria Sharapova (L) vs Romanian Simona Halep (R) tonight

But that was about men - here is something about he girls. There is match tonight between the former world number one Maria Sharapova and Romania's Simona Halep.

Sharapova, the second seed for the tournament is sailing smoothly so far. She was lucky to have a bye in the first round and easily beat  Argentine Gisela Dulko, one of the best women doubles players, 6-2, 6-0 to mve into the third round.

The famous Romanian Simmon Halep, whose 'extra ordinary physique' was quie a gossip till 2009, when she underwent surgery to have her chest reduced as the previous size hindered her play adversely. Now she is much at ease with her reduced stature and is playing superbly. She has moved to the third round with much ease beating her opponents in straight sets in first and second rounds.

Like Murray's ouster, any debacle to Sharapova would be a great setback for her at the hands of the 21 year old Romanian, who is in superb form, while Sharapova is still recovering from her injuries and form recently.

The match between Sharapova and Halep commences 21:30 GMT.

Djokovic vs Anderson in the Indian Wells 12 March

Like all the super stars, the world number one Novak Djokovic is also making inroads into the Indian Wells Tennis. Though heavily dejected at his ouster from the Dubai Duty Free title by Andy Murray just a week ago, Djokovic did not show any signs of nervousness when playing Kazak Andrey Golubev 6-3, 6-2 in the Indian Wells tennis.

Kevin Anderson has met Djokovic four times before with Djokovic winning 3-1

Now he is all set to meet  World No. 30 and South Africa's highest ranking tennis player Kevin Anderson for a place in the pre-quarterfinal of the 2012 BNP Paribas Open. Anderson has advanced through a walkover after German Philipp Kohlschreiber fell ill.

Djokovic may not find his match with Anderson an easy one since Anderson's has a probing serve that Djokovic had found difficult to understand and counter in their previous encounters.

It may be added that  Djokovic  is defending the Masters 1000 title in the Californian desert, one of 10 he claimed in a runaway 2011 campaign. In 2011, he had five ATP Masters titles and three Grand Slams to his credit. But losing in Dubai very recently shows he is not like his previous year's form and will have to fight out hard in the Indian Wells.

The match between  Djokovic and Anderson commences at 19:30 GMT.
