Mauresmo misses

This is not yet at Indian Wells qu'Amélie Mauresmo found the answers to questions that arise from almost year. Arriving only to the United States in the quest for identity and certainties after a chaotic start to the season, the French déchanté quickly. His first matches against the modest Romanian Edina Gallovits (6 / 2 6 / 4) announced the better, but simply because his opponent was not level. Faced with players of the caliber of Alona Bondarenko, proved last season and head serial number 15, Mauresmo becomes a tenniswoman like the others, average, equipped with weapons that no longer function as before. Against the young Ukrainian, St. Germannoise has simply not seen the light of day, conceding 9 of the first 10 games (6 / 1 3 / 0). The beginnings of a backlash not only served him avoid wheel bicycle. Sèchement beaten (6 / 1 6 / 2), the former world number 1 continues its way of the cross and the questions are becoming more numerous. Amelie Mauresmo is not the only head of a series to have left the tournament last night. If eliminations Dominika Cibulkova (No. 28) and Eleni Daniilidou (No. 25), respectively face Svetlana Kuznetsova (6 / 1 4 / 6 6 / 3) and Maria Sharapova (7 / 5 6 / 3) are logical, Dinara Safina of that is most surprising. Head serial number 8 of the race, the younger sister of Marat has resisted a set in the American Ashley Harkleroad before collapsing (7 / 5 6 / 2). Mahut OK, Roddick KO Some certainties, Andy Roddick thought having with two titles already under its belt early this year (San Jose, Dubai). But A-Rod, now separated from her coach Jimmy Connors, could also expect another draw lots that fall on Tommy Haas. Still very difficult to play, the German was more in a good day, full of opportunism, mastering twice the service of his opponent on his only two occasions. In the end, it turned into a small victory in two sets (6 / 4 6 / 4). Other series header to have fallen Nicolas Almagro, and it is rather good news for the french clan. The Spanish, more comfortable on clay, was released by Nicolas Mahut. After a first set stalled on tie-break (7 / 6, 7 points to 1), the Queen's finalist in the 2007 benefited from setbacks of the Iberian language service (9 Double Faults) to the right (7 / 6 6 / 2) to challenge Roger Federer in the 3rd round. The world No. 1, who was playing a little later than the French, had not breached its entry into contention in the tournament. Exempt from the first round, Switzerland faced the Spanish Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, only 62nd in the ATP rankings. Remaining on an elimination in the first round in Dubai, beaten by Andy Murray, Basel did not this time shook. Strong on his appointment (6 aces, 60% of the first ball, only 1 ball break granted), Federer has quietly dominated his subject, making a break in the first set and two in the second, to succeed (6 / 3 6 / 2) in 1:08. Mario Ancic, in turn, confirmed his return to the forefront after his long absence from the circuit. The Croatian, invited by the organizers, has taken the best on the head serial number 12, the Chilean Fernando Gonzalez (7 / 5 3 / 6 6 / 3). His compatriot, Ivan Ljubicic, for its part won a duel 100% against Croatian Marin Cilic (7 / 6 7 / 5) while David Nalbandian had to strive to overcome the Latvian Ernest Gulbis (6 / 4 4 / 6 7 / 6). Finally, Gilles Simon has resisted Mikhail Youzhny but had to bow (6 / 4 6 / 2).
