The second round is getting under way in Indian Wells and some of the biggest names in tennis will try to avoid a similar fate as Andy Murray, who was knocked out by a qualifier in the first round. Among the notable players in action are Roger Federer, who's taking on Denis Kudla, and Rafael Nadal, who's facing Leonardo Mayer.
The best match of Sunday on the men's side will likely be the duel between sixth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and countryman Michael Llodra. Tsonga is an eminently watchable player (who looks exactly like a young, slightly hefty Muhammad Ali, for what it's worth), and he should be playing some of his best tennis against a talented guy from his home country of France in Llodra.
On the women's side, top seed Victoria Azarenka should have herself a match against No. 25 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova in the third round. Petra Kvitova, the third seed, will take on Christina McHale, and there's a China vs. China barnburner on tap when eighth-seeded Na Li takes on 31-seed Jie Zheng.
