Defending champion is Rafa, who beat Novak in last year's final. So lots of points to defend for the Nos. 2 and 3 in the world.
I don't expect anything from Mr. Safin here regarding the field. The greatest thing for me: Bambi received a Wild Card! C'mon Mario, show them a perfect comeback!
Mary, why do you have to take off for the tournament? Do you work nights? Indian Wells is 8 hours behind GMT if I remember correctly, which means lovely evening starts for us Europeans (or very long nights, depending on whom you want to see...
). So it's more about the sleep deprivation? I'm sure my boss is looking forward to the "zombie me" during Indian Wells and Miami, LOL. Ah, sunglasses at work are underrated

May you bring Marat luck 
If the Big Yin plays Thurs/Fri, I need you guys to give me a match report.
