Upset of the day:
Shahar Peer def. Marina Erakovic 6-3 6-4
Someone needs to tell Marina Erakovic that nobody loses to Shahar Peer anymore. Before this tournament, Peer has won only one match this year and her ranking has since plunged to 128. Marina's loss is after her title win in Memphis, which makes this loss even more puzzling. Yes, Marina, you should be disgusted by yourself.
Chanelle Scheepers def. Kristina Mladenovic 6-4 6-1
Another mind-boggling loss happened to the young Kristina Mladenovic. Scheepers has won only 2 matches this year while Mladenovic has reached the semi-finals of Florianopolis. Just a very weird loss for this girl, just when you thought she's becoming more consistent. Shows that the French girl still has a lot to learn before challenging she can challenge the top girls.
Maria Sanchez def. Olga Puchkova 6-3 6-3
You see a pattern emerging here. Players who reached the latter stages last week all fell flat on their faces this week in Indian Wells. It doesn't even matter who their opponent is. Shows how important it is to prepare for this big tournament. If that's the case, maybe Karolina Pliskova and Bethanie Mattek will suffer the same fate too.
