The best male tennis stars are featured this week at the BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells 2011. This is the first of nine ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events in the tennis calendar. Last year, nearly 340,000 viewers flocked at the Coachella Valley to witness the 12-day tennis event, thus setting a record to be the first tourney aside from the Grand Slams to overtake the 300,000 mark.
Leading the men’s field is current world number one Rafael Nadal who’s back in action after a five-week break to recover from injury. The two-time champion aims to improve on his semifinal finish last year (beaten by eventual titlist Ivan Ljubicic).
World number two Roger Federer is chasing his 18th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title. The three-time Indian Wells champion will have a chance to improve on his ranking points if goes past the fourth round this year.
