Too bad the canadians are all stacked up like that... Was hoping to see at least 2 of those guys have a bit of a run. Good news is one of them will make the 3rd round.

I guess you can call it justice as she really didn't deserve the free ride into the main draw that she received. Hard to see much left for her at this point except for resigning herself to low level events in the hopes of regaining something close to pro form again.

I think it's a great for a change. Really pulling for Felix to push by Vasek and kick start his ATP level career here.

It's a tough one for me as Vasek has played very well as of late raising his ranking from #108 at the start of this season to currently #75. I think the more interesting aspect is whomever wins between Felix and Vasek will likely be the fan's choice in the match against Milos.

Which is interesting as a match like this could really push Milos to get back to his best level of play in a sort of defend your status match because of that fact.

Either way, there is a great chance of advancing a Canadian past this quarter with the only real opposition being Sock and Zverev who are both looking extremely flat and predictable this year.

Oh. But I thought she didn't want the pressure of carrying Canada on her shoulders?

Sorry for the sass.

Gabriela Dabrowski and partner Xu Yifan have defeated Coco Vandeweghe and her partner Ashleigh Barty in women's doubles at Indian Wells. Set scores were 1-6 6-1 10-6. No reports of CoCo temper tantrums at this point lol

Nice start for Shapo as he takes the opening set 6-3 in just under 35 minutes. Shapo is receiving some treatment before the second set starts though,

Just call him Peter 'Iron Guts' Polansky - Over 3 hours on court as he defeats Copil 7-6 6-7 7-6. At 5-5 in the 3rd set, he was down love-40 and rallied to hold serve. Way to go Peter and we'll see you in round 2.

Thanks for all the great updates, dash. Great night for Canadian tennis with more to come, I'm sure.

Look who's taking in the action at Indian Wells...Geez, he looks like he could still take a regular shift in the NHL (spoilered for size)

Spoiler!
