We got to watch some phenomenal tennis players at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden during the Saturday night and Sunday day sessions. Among the list of pros we saw in action were: Rafael Nadal, Stanislas Wawrinka, Thomas Berdych, John Isner, Fabio Fognini, Simona Halep, Dinara Safarova, Radek Stepanek, Leander Paes, Gilles Simon, Nikolay Davydenko, Ryan Harrison, Roberto Bautista-Agut and Julien Benneteau.
Here are some photos from the matches:
