BNP Paribas Open Men’s Tennis Champions of the Past
March 15th, 2016 by Do It Tennis
Novak Djokovic has dominated the BNP Paribas Open, continuing this week in Indian Wells, CA, for the past five years. Djokovic raised the singles winner’s trophy three times (his fourth overall) and made it to the semi-finals in the other two years.
Djokovic (wielding a HEAD Graphene XT Speed Pro Tennis Racquet) is again seeded #1 for 2016. With Roger Federer withdrawing prior to the tournament and second seed Andy Murray losing a third round shocker to unseeded Fedrico Delbonis tennis fans are wondering who can stop Novak.
Can Rafael Nadal (seeded 4th) with a Babolat AeroPro Drive again get some hard court success in Indian Wells? Will big serving American star John Isner and his Prince EXO3 Warrior 100 battle his way back to a BNP Paribas finals tennis court? What about powerhouse third seed Stan Warwrinka with his Yonex VCORE Tour G Tennis Racquet?
