We have a great draw in Indian Wells. Without Serena, it seems clear that the hot favorites are Vika and Maria.
Vika had a tough draw to possibly play Hantuchova in her opener (not at her prime) and Sloane Stephens in the 4th round.
Sharapova had an easy draw to possibly play 3 Italians.
Radwanska falls in Sharapova’s half. Pennetta and Schiavone to play against each other in the first round.
