'Many sports events fade with time, backslide with age. Not at Indian Wells.' Bill Dwyre reports:
Rafael Nadal during a practice session on Day 2 of the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden on Monday.
Who could blame the enthusiasm of the spectators, who got in free? There were plenty of recognizable names competing in the qualifying, even several formerly ranked in the top 10. Tuesday night brought a new wrinkle, as well as a few sprinkles that threatened to spoil things. But the clouds moved on, a near sellout crowd of 7,441 moved into Stadium 2, and their $25 ticket purchase went to benefit a new event for local charities.
The winner didn’t seem to be a big deal, even though it was worth $150,000. The funds raised and the fun had on the court were meant to be a higher priority.
