Combining both ATP and WTA tours, the tournament in Indian Wells is one of the most anticipated of the year, for players and fans alike, outside of the four majors.

The competition is beginning to grow in intensity with both men’s and women’s draws currently at the quarter-final stage.

The biggest upset in the California desert so far has arguably been the stomach virus that has swept through the locker room and claimed the victims of several competitors. At least eight players been stricken by the bug, including Gael Monfils, Petra Kvitova, Francesca Schiavone, and Philipp Kohlschreiber. Roger Federer has also been affected, but has been able to successfully play through the symptoms.
