Now that the fun of Davis Cup is complete, back to business.

Next up, the ATP 1000 and WTA Premier BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.
96 men and 96 women in the tournament so it's like a mini-grand slam.

Milos Roanic has been granted a wildcard for the event and will be in Tuesday's draw.
The top 32 get a bye to the 2nd round. Raonic will get a relatively easy opponent in the 1st round but will get one of the 32 seeds in the 2nd round.. it can be anyone.. even Federer and Nadal!

The men's qualifying draw has not been displayed yet so I don't know if any Canadians will be on it.

As for our Canadian women. Marino and Wozniak have to qualify. In fact Rebecca Marino is the #1 seed as 48 WTA players bid for one of 12 places in the main draw when qualifying action gets underway Monday. Win two matches and you're in!

The draw: http://www.bnpparibasopen.com/~/media/E0FC74E9BE974218BA3ABD3C8AB4EE5B.ashx

Wozniak is first up tomorrow 11MT. Marino will be up in the late afternoon.

Should be an exciting couple of weeks!
