Indian Wells Results

Rafael Nadal is currently clicking on all cylinders as he just won the first set of his match against fellow left Michael Berrer. Dinara Safina prevented yet another upset at Indian Wells by winning in straight sets. After Jelena Jankovic and Elena Dementieva lost on Saturday both Safina and Carline Wozniacki played great matches to advance. Wozniacki won the first set easily, then seemed to lose focus a little, causing her to drop the second. She quickly got back to her 1st set ways and dominated the final set. Other men's winners included Novak Djokovic, John Isner, who upset Gael Monfils and Juan Martin del Potro who had to mount a comeback to advance.
