Geez, to spend all that money and time flying to China only to get ousted in that fashion? I guess it allows more time for sight seeing if nothing else.

Weird to see Schnur playing a random challenger in asia the week of Indian wells qualifiers. You'd think he want to gun for the points.. Probably would have been a seeded qualifier. Almost seems like the challengers are a waste of time beyond a certain point in the rankings but maybe they rolled out the red carpet for him because of recent success.

Also been wondering lately what happened to Rebecca Marino's comeback. She seemed to be roaring back and then she just kind of disappeared from the headlines. Hit a wall after a certain point?

I think Brayden thinks his best chance to solidify his ranking and potentially get inside the top 100 is to play some qualifiers. He didn't exactly have a smooth flight to China based on this tweet:

As for Rebecca, not sure if she's still battling an injury, the last action she had on court was in the Fed Cup World Group II playoffs against the Netherlands last month, she hasn't tweeted out anything lately regarding her status, but I hope she returns to the court soon.

Milos with a tough draw in Indian Wells, he gets a red hot Monfils in round 1 and if he's able to get past Gael would face either Rafa or Taylor Fritz.

Edit: My bad, this is for the Eisenhower Cup, a pre-IW exhibition tourney taking place at Indian Wells.

Wow... I clicked on that tweet. In the comments he says he signed up for that tourney earlier in the year and they wouldn't let him withdraw for Indian Wells because he was "past the deadline to withdraw". Crazy, bet he's especially pumped to be there now

This year's Indian Wells tourney will be sans Tomic as the tank engine lost in qualifying today to Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic.

Draw for the men is now out for Indian Wells - We could see a Felix - Greek Yogourt match in round 2.

Interesting to see that Djoker has never beat Kyrgios. Now they only played two times but his H2H combined record against Nadal and Djoker is 5 wins and 3 losses. I doubt there is another player with a combined winning % against those two.

He should have just flown to Hong Kong and taken the ferry over. Would have been faster

If you get knocked out early just spend the week in Macao!

Milos wins the Eisenhower Cup and 150 grand in the winner takes all event at Indian Wells tonight. He beat Monfils, Cilic, and Stan the Man in the final match of the night.

[GirlySports]

Of course he won. It's only tiebreaks!

[GirlySports]

Of course Schnur lost overnight. Now he has time to rest.

Polansky also blew it in indian wells qualifying, served for the match.

During the broadcast, the commentators announced that Milos has parted ways with Goran Ivanisevic and is now apparently working with Fabrice Santoro.

If you have DAZN in Canada, you can see Bianca's match. Another way is to subscribe to wtatv.com. I guess the third alternative might be finding a questionably legal stream, but you never know what malware or virus might be potentially lurking.

Does Indian Wells have Lucky Losers?

There is usually a couple of guys who pull out of the main draw due to injury or other reasons, so yes the lucky losers should be in play for Indian Wells.
