It’s already on to the next stop for the players on the WTA and ATP tours. Before we turn our attention to South Beach, though, here’s your look back at Indian Wells and what transpired in the doubles draws.
Almost, Sam. Almost.
At the just-completed BNP Paribas Open, Sam Querrey was the only player—male or female—still in contention for the much-ballyhooed $1 million singles-doubles bonus at the tournament by the quarterfinal stage.
While that big prize did go unclaimed, players that usually do the bulk of their work in singles showed they’re not too shabby with a partner on their side.
‘SISNER’ STRIKES AGAIN
On the men’s side, Jack Sock and John Isner put their singles struggles aside to wreak havoc on the doubles draw. The unseeded duo didn’t drop a set on their way to the final, knocking off Ivan Dodig and Rajeev Ram and Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic along the way.
In the championship match, they faced Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan in an all-American battle.
