Serena Williams beats Defending Champion Sharapova to win her Second French Open Title

Serena beats defending champion Sharapova to win her her second French Open title in eleven years [Photo]

It did not come as surprise to me when I heard the news of Serena beating Sharapova in the French Open ladies singles final Saturday today - this being her second French Open title in eleven years.

As I wrote in my yesterday's post, Sharapova is under the 'Serena Spell' - which makes her form whither away no sooner does she face the American. Serena and Sharapova have met 15 times in their career since they first met at Miami in 2004 - and Serena has a huge winning edge of 13-2 over the Russian.

So with these stats, there was no chance that Serena would be able to defend her 2012 title. The results 6-4, 6-4 amply show meek Sharapova being played by aging - yet shrewd and experienced Serena who dismantled the Russian in just one hour and 46 minutes.

Although, Sharapova had promised to "try something different" after failing to beat Williams in their last 12 matches, stretching back to 2004, she could not stand before Serena as always and crumbled like a pack of cards.

"Today it was extremely close again. Okay, I should [have] maybe closed it out in the second set, but he did well to stay in it," Federer said. "At the end, I don't know what got me through. Maybe it's the experience or maybe I was a bit more calm in those moments. I'm not sure. Today I think I was a little lucky to come through it in the end."

Watch Live Streaming: Roger Federer vs Milos Raonic at Indian Wells Wednesday 14 March

There is lot of sports these days around the world. Besides Asia Cup Cricket being played in Dacca, and lots of football, there is tennis - The Indian Wells or the BNP Paribas Open has entered into the quarter finals stage and shortlisting to top has started.

Federer vs Milos Raonic

The match in the very early hours of Wednesday morning, is being tipped as the toughest match of the ongoing Indian Wells, wherein Federer faces a young but very powerful Canadian Raonic, who is all set to take on stars like Federer.

Although Federer did not have much difficulty if taming Kudla Sunday night 6-4, 6-1, many believe that Milos Raonic is no Kudla and may entrench aging Federer to provide good enetrtainment to the fans on both sides of the net.

Even Federer has acknowledged Raonic's powerful serves and on his fitness syas, "Against a guy like this you’re obviously going to try to make it as athletic as possible." Which means that Raonic is in his best form, both physically and mentllay to give a tough ime to Federer.

Raonic too is eager to meet Federer, whom he missed meeting last year. For Raonic, this is a big day - palying against a sixteen times grand slammer and already three times Indian Wells winner in three straight years from 2004-2006.

The slow speed of the court may help Federer to control the speedy balls from raonic and have enough time to respond. On the other hand, Raonic due to his athletic physique may tire out Federer to gain time and win points.

The match will be played at Stadium 1, a big honour for Raonic for palying on such a prestigeous court perhaps for the first time in his life, at 02:00 GMT.

Watch Live: Nadal vs Granollers in the Indian Wells Tuesday Night

The Indian Wells are getting hotter as the tournament progresses. While Roger Federer clashes Milos Raonic later at nigh, it is Nadal vs fellow Spaniard Marcel Granollers during third-round action on Tuesday night. 

Nadal vs Granollers

While Nadal has met many new players, it would be the honour of Granollers for not only comabting his fellow countryman, but also once the number one and still exhubrant Rafeal Nadal.

Granollers is presently ranked at number 26th and has been sailing through with a bye in the first rouns and a combating  6-3, 2-6, 6-3 victory over Tommy Haas.

For Nadal Indian Wells is very important, specially after being ousted from the Australian Open at the hands of Novak Djokovic. He has to sail through by his aggressive game and not only win over Granollers tonight, but also all other encounters to making it to the finals. But so are Federer and Djokovic aiming at. So it is survival of fittest, aggressor, determined and the resilient to move on.

Nadal is two time Indian Wells champion and is surely expected a straight victory over Granollers tonight.

The match between the two commences 23:30 GMT.

Free Live Streaming: Djokovic vs Anderson 2012 BNP Paribas Open 12 March

Like all the super stars, the world number one Novak Djokovic is also making inroads into the Indian Wells Tennis. Though heavily dejected at his ouster from the Dubai Duty Free title by Andy Murray just a week ago, Djokovic did not show any signs of nervousness when playing Kazak Andrey Golubev 6-3, 6-2 in the Indian Wells tennis.

Kevin Anderson has met Djokovic four times before with Djokovic winning 3-1

Now he is all set to meet  World No. 30 and South Africa's highest ranking tennis player Kevin Anderson for a place in the pre-quarterfinal of the 2012 BNP Paribas Open. Anderson has advanced through a walkover after German Philipp Kohlschreiber fell ill.

Djokovic may not find his match with Anderson an easy one since Anderson's has a probing serve that Djokovic had found difficult to understand and counter in their previous encounters.

It may be added that  Djokovic  is defending the Masters 1000 title in the Californian desert, one of 10 he claimed in a runaway 2011 campaign. In 2011, he had five ATP Masters titles and three Grand Slams to his credit. But losing in Dubai very recently shows he is not like his previous year's form and will have to fight out hard in the Indian Wells.

The match between  Djokovic and Anderson commences at 19:30 GMT.
