Ya mezner was highest in career at 8. Definitely a good player it is just hard to watch milos lose it in these scenarios to mind games

Indian Wells starts tomorrow. The First ATP 1000 of the season.

Here's the qualifying draw

http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2012/404/qs.pdf

There are 3 Canadians in the draw. Pospisil, Dancevic and Duclos. Win two matches and qualify for the main draw!

[GirlySports]

Dancevic won easily in straights.. Duclos lost in 3 tough sets.
Pospisil is in a 3rd set now (he's been really struggling lately)

Here's the main draw!

Potential Raonic-Federer 3rd round match!

[Matty81]

Pospisil pulled off quite the come from behind tonight, I checked the live score a couple times and it looked like he was down a couple breaks in the third set before coming back.

He has looked rough this year though you're right girly. Fairly high seed in most of the qualis he's been in and has made them all look tough even when he does get by. Hopefully he can squeek into the main draw tomorrow and start building his confidence again. Wonder why no Polansky, thought he had a higher rank than Duclos.

[GirlySports]

no Polansky is 6th Canadian

Duclos, then Chvojka then Polansky.

Rog and A-Rod preparing hard for IW like the seasoned pros they are

[fundmark19]

Wow tough draw. Will only get to play 2 matches unless he can pull his confidence together and some how beat fed

Some more really serious stuff

[Matty81]

Looks like Dancevic lost today but Pospisil won and made the main draw on the mens side.

[GirlySports]

The qualifiers have been placed

http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2012/404/mds.pdf

Pospisil plays France's Nicolas Mahut in Round 1 and would then face #22 Juan Monaco in Round 2... couldn't ask for a better spot.

Nice draw, he's just so inconsistent you don't know what to expect - with his tools after the way he played in Israel I was thinking he would break the top 50 within a couple years but between Davis Cup and some of the guys outside the top 200 who knock him off from time to time... who knows.

Too bad for Raonic, that is an ugly draw for him.

[GirlySports]

Pospisil gets destroyed 6-3, 6-2 by Mahut.

[GirlySports]

Milos will play the Argentine veteran and 38th ranked Carlos Berlocq (who won today) on Sunday.

Going to be tricky.

[GirlySports]

Andy Murray lost immediately to some unknown guy



He lost this early last year too, something about this place in California.

[GirlySports]

Raonic vs Berlocq about to start on Court 2

There's no tv

[Matty81]

Think Raonic is through, won the first set 6-4 and now up 4-0 in number 2.

Hope him vs Fed is on tv, been waiting for a showdown with a top player for a while.

[GirlySports]

Should be. SNET UNO has about 10 hours of scheduled live tennis on Tuesday

[Julio]

And Milos is through to the next round...6-4, 6-2

[Mango]

Solid victory. Raonic versus Federer. Finally

[GirlySports]

[27] Milos Raonic vs [3] Roger Federer is the featured night match on Center Court tonight.

NOT BEFORE 7:00pm Pacific Time.

Sportsnet One has 10 hours of coverage today, from noon to 10pm mountain.
If they don't somehow show this one then they're just stupid.
