Shtoo-rill III: Delpo Time! 29 Apr 2011 | 12:37 am
Here are some belated photos of JMDP from his first two matches against Sousa and Falla (courtesy once again of the legendary Pedro). After an initial wobble against Sousa, JMDP looked terrifyingly s...

Bit of a damp squib, today’s day session as Wozniacki and del Potro both progressed to the semi-finals without playing a whole match. Azarenka played a hotly-contested first two games with Wozniacki,...
Men’s Quarter-Finals Set at Indian Wells. 18 Mar 2011 | 02:38 am
