Roger’s dominance holds on in Indian Wells but there is a dark shadow over this victory.

After a high quality first set, Rafa had to pull out of the competition. The spaniard is known for fighting until the last point, but this time it seemed a little worse and he was not able to play on. We just can hope that this is nothing serious and he will be fine again. On the other hand Federer had an absolute blast in the first set and was playing some really good tennis. But in the end this victory is a lot more bitter than sweet: «I had not even one moment of celebration or the feeling happiness in me after Rafa pulled out. I hope he’s fine. I just went to the dressing room to wish him all the best but of course that doesn’t help him now» , said Roger. We just can hope that Rafa will come back soon and than we will meet again in Miami.
