Djokovic has withdrawn from Indian Wells. He is the first very big name to withdraw in the men's tournament, already plenty have done so in the women's one, including Barty and Osaka.

 

I don't know if Djokovic intends to play in the ATP finals. If he does then he might play in Paris masters before, but if he doesn't then his season is probably over.

 

As for Luisa Stefani, whose injury was mentioned here, she had knee surgery to treat it and the long and hard rehabilitation work has started.

Osaka has no business playing tennis right now as she rides the mental health martyr train, Barty pulled out due to crazy COVID protocols at home, if she played IW, her preparations for Australian Open would be affected. The real mystery is Sofia Kenin who has hardly played this season as well.

Not really surprising Emma Raducanu lost her 1st match in Indian Wells in 2 straight sets against Sasnovich 

Turns out a month of movie premiers, celebrity parties & signing “influencer” deals is not the best way to maintain sporting consistency, to everyone’s surprise.

Yeah, the honeymoon is over. Raducanu has a target on her back and no longer can play the underdog card.

 

Btw, Sasnovich only has three Top 50 wins all season (vs injured Serena Williams at Wimbledon, vs Podoroska at Cleveland and now vs Raducanu in Indian Wells).

Despite her early loss in Indian Wells, Maria Sakkari will move up from her current ranking of number 9 to a new career-high.

 

She is guaranteed to be at least 8 in the next rankings, and will be number 7 as long as none of Swiatek, Pavlyuchenkova, Jabeur win the title in Indian Wells.

 

Also with Svitolina having to defend her WTA Finals finalist points from 2019 soon, and Muguruza having her 2020 Australian Open finalist points coming off at the beginning of next year, Maria is on a good path to be top 5 after the Australian Open. It will also help a lot if she can have some more big runs between now and then.

    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
