SATURDAY PREVIEW – SIX TOP 10 SEEDS IN
SECOND ROUND ACTION, LED BY NO. 2 NADAL, NO. 3 DJOKOVIC
•
No.
2 and defending champion
Rafael Nadal, No. 3
and last year’s finalist
Novak Djokovic, along
with No. 5 David
Ferrer, No. 8
Richard Gasquet, No. 9
James Blake and No.
10 Tomas Berdych
highlight Saturday’s second round matches at the
Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Here is a look at the Top 16
seeds playing on Saturday:
No. 2 Rafael Nadal vs. (Q) Santiago
Giraldo First meeting
No. 3 Novak Djokovic vs. Andreas Seppi Djokovic leads
2-0
No. 5 David Ferrer vs. Olivier Rochus Ferrer leads 4-2
No. 8 Richard Gasquet vs. Robin Soderling Tied 2-2

No. 10 Tomas Berdych vs. Stanislas Wawrinka Berdych
leads 2-1
No. 14 Paul-Henri Mathieu vs.(LL) Fabio Fognini First
meeting
No. 16 Guillermo Canas vs. Jonas Bjorkman Bjorkman leads
1-0
•
The Chase is On – Nadal has cut Federer's No. 1 lead
from 1,445 points at the end of last season to 350
points going into Indian Wells. This is the closest
margin since May 10, 2004 when Federer led No. 2 Andy
Roddick by that same figure. But Federer could build the
lead in March since he lost early in Indian Wells and
Miami last year while Nadal won Indian Wells and
Djokovic reached the final in Indian Wells and won the
title in Miami. The No. 1 ranking can't change hands at
the Pacific Life Open since Nadal is defending title
points (500) while Federer lost in the opening round
(5). But depending on the results of both players in
Indian Wells, then the No. 1 position could be up for
grabs going into Miami. Nadal has quarterfinal points to
defend (125) while Federer has fourth round points
coming off (75). Federer has ranked a record 215
consecutive weeks at No. 1 since Feb. 2, 2004 while
Nadal has been No. 2 a record 138 straight weeks (since
July 25, 2005).
