Tennis Update: March 18, 2013

Sooo Rafa won the BNP Paribas tournament at Indian Wells, beating 3 top ten players en route to the title. What a beast! First he beat Roger Federer, then Tomas Berdych, then Juan Martin del Potro. That's REALLY impressive. Wow. Who would have thought that he would come back so strong especially on his weakest surface. There were even doubts that his knees would hold up for the weeks of the tournament since the hard courts are so taxing on his legs. Well congrats to him! On the WTA side, Maria Sharapova beat Caroline Wozniacki in a sweeping match. I don't even think it was close. Like 6-2 6-2. That's not surprising. Her aggressive style is going to fly through the courts whereas Wozniacki's defensive tendencies won't help much on this fast surface. This was a super enticing tournament. There's a lot of people who would've given a lot of money for a tickets to this event. It was basically a grandslam, but shorter.
I need to have 200 words in this blog, so I'll just keep going for a little longer. This was soo exciting. I really wish I could've actually watched some of the matches, but I had school and all that fun stuff, so that didn't work out for me. Oh well. At least I know when the French Open starts, I'll be out of school. Yay.
