Novak Djokovic remained unbeaten this season, with the new world number two Serb reaching 18-0 since January with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 upset of top seed Rafael Nadal to win the Indian Wells Masters on Sunday.
Dane Caroline Wozniacki claimed the 14th title of her career on Sunday as the top seed proved her credentials with a 6-1, 2-6, 6-3 defeat of France’s Marion Bartoli in the women’s final.
“I’m playing with a lot of confidence,” said Djokovic. “I’m feeling the ball well on the court. I’m very dedicated. I have a big will to win each match I’m playing on.
“But it will not stop here, definitely. I want to keep on going and keep on playing good tennis. Hopefully I can recover and get ready for Miami.” Nadal said that after a month off with his injury “to play a final in my first event back is fantastic. I lost today, but I lost to one of the greatest.
“I think I was too worried about my serve to play my best level from the baseline, and that’s what happens,” Nadal said. “My serve didn’t work. He had the chance all the time to attack me with the second serve.”
On the women’s side, Wozniacki will remain number one while 2007 Wimbledon finalist Bartoli will make a return into the top 10 for the first time in three years.
“This means a lot,” said the winner. “It’s pretty much a two-week event, and you have days in between like in the Grand Slams. It’s a big tournament, and I’m very, very happy.”
