Indian Wells: Finals

20) Ivan Ljubicic (CRO) def. 7) Andy Roddick (USA) 7-6(3), 7-6(5)

6) Jelena Jankovic (SRB) def. 2) Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) 6-2, 6-4

A big congrats to Ljubicic and Jankovic for their titles.  Both win their first titles of 2010, but for Ljubicic it is his 10th career ATP title, and for Jankovic her 12th career WTA title.

Ljubicic came through wild card Harrison, qualifier Dabul, world #2 Djokovic, 21 seed Monaco, world #3 Nadal, and finally world #8 Roddick.
Jankovic defeated qualifier Martic, Errani, 17 seed Peer, 23 seed Kleybanova, 8 seed Stosur, and world #4 Wozniacki.
