I'm sorry i was not able to cover the semifinals and the final of the Indian Wells tournament last week, but i was on a trip. I will try to post some thoughts about the players.
First of all, Mardy Fish had 2 weeks of top-class tennis. Not only because he defeated Federer (wow), but also Mayer, Andreev, Davydenko and Nalbandian before upsetting the Swiss Machine (not actually a machine anymore :P). If Djokovic wasn't the player he is at the moment (best player in the ATP), Fish would have been the winner of this tournament. It remains to be seen if he can continue to play at this level.
I also liked Wawrinka. Not as much as a surprise like Fish was, but still an improvement in a player i think will reach the top 10 by the end of 2009. Defeating Berdych, Baghdatis and H.T. Lee in a single tournament before losing to Djokovic in the quarterfinals is not that bad for this young player.
As far as the betting goes, it's not that great to have +18 units after 3 weeks, but it's still a positive balance in a crazy time for tennis betting, and i had some bad luck when the Bryan brothers lost their match in the decisive tie-break against Mirnyi and J. Murray. I hoping to do better next weeks.
