A few upsets in the first few rounds of Indian Wells. Here are the seeds who crashed and burned in their match:
Men:
8) Cilic to Garica-Lopez, 7-6(1), 6-0; What is going on here?
12) Monfils to Greul, 6-3 in the 3rd;
13) Ferrer to Blake, 1 and 4;
14) Stepanek to Sela, 6-2 in the 3rd; The Czech #1 is really struggling recently
16) Simon to qualifier Dabul, 7-5, 6-4; Simon struggling to regain form
23) Karlovic to Almagro, 7-5, 7-6(5); A clay-courter beats Dr. Ivo on a hard court??
30) Tipsarevic retires to de Bakker;
31) Benneteau to Ancic, 6-3 in the 3rd;
32) Andreev to Russell, 6-2 in the 3rd; Is the American rising?
All those with at least quarterfinals to defend who showed up are still alive.
Women:
1) Kuznetsova to Suarez-Navarro, 6-1 in the 3rd; Kuzzy still inconsistent
7) Li to Baltacha, 9-7 in 3rd set tiebreak; British tennis may have a hope
20) A.Bondarenko to Peng, 1 and 4;
21) Hantuchova to Vinci, 6-3, 7-5; The Slovak won't win a 3rd title here
22) Lisicki retires to Craybas down a break in the 3rd;
24) Ivanovic to Sevastova, 2 and 4; Ivanovic is in danger of not being seeded at Roland Garros, an event she won just 2 years ago; **Fails to defend final**
26) Cibulkova to Errani, 7-5, 6-4; The Slovak has struggled since her injury
29) Medina Garrigues to Molik, 7-3 in 3rd set tiebreak; Is the Aussie on the comeback trail?
30) Wozniak to Flipkens, 1 and 2;
Also of note:
Henin loses to 31) Dulko, 2 and 2; Big shocker considering the Belgian AO run
Bammer loses to 3) Azarenka, 6-1 in the 3rd; **Fails to defend quarterfinal**
