ATP: Indian Wells Master - BNP Paribas Open

The Indian Wells Masters (now sponsored by BNP Paribas and officially called the BNP Paribas Open) which is an annual tennis tournament held in Indian Wells, California, is starting 8 March and will terminate on 18 March.

The tournament is played on hard courts and is the best attended tennis tournament outside the four Grand Slam tournaments, with over 300,000 visitors during the event. It has the second largest tennis stadium in the world.

Following four leading tennis players will be there in the tournament and are 'the likely probables' for the finals.

Rafael  Nadal - World No. 2, the 2007 and 2010 champion (d. Djokovic), will be chasing his 20th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 shield. In 2010, he also won the doubles title with Marc Lopez.

Swiss superstar Roger Federer  has a 33-8 record in Indian Wells, where he lifted the titles in 2004 (d. Henman), 2005 (d. Hewitt) and 2006 (d. Blake).

Juan Martin del Potro - , who was ranked No. 484 in February 2011, has returned to the Top 10 of the South African Airways ATP Rankings. Last year, he reached the semi-finals (l. to Nadal).

Novak Djokovic, who beat Rafael Nadal 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in a gripping finale at the BNP Paribas Open in 2011, has a 10-7 record in ATP World Tour Masters 1000 finals. The World No. 1 also lifted the 2008 trophy with victory over Mardy Fish. Djokovic now eyes his third title.
