แล้วก็เข้าสู่รายการที่ 3 ของปีที่เอแนงลงแข่งหลังจากกลับมาเล่นอีกครั้ง รายการที Indian wells ครับ รายการนี้เป็นรายการระดับ Premier Mandatory (รายการระดับรองจาก Grandslam) ซึ่งเมื่อก่อนจัดเ็ป็นรายการระดับ Tier I เงินรางวัลและคะแนนเป็นรองเพียงแค่ 4 slam เท่านั้น
รายการนี้เอแนงเคยเป็นแชมป์เมื่อปี 2004 ที่เอาชนะดาเวนท์พอร์ทไปอย่างขาดลอย 2 เซตรวด ซึ่งในตอนนั้นเอแนง top form สุดๆ ก่อนที่จะไปติดเชื้อไวรัสหลังจากรายการนี้นี่เอง จะทำให้ต้องหยุดแข่งไปค่อนปี
รายการที่ Indian Wells นี้เป็นรายการ Outdoor Hard Court แบบ Slow Hardcourt ซึ่งน่าจะเข้าทางเอแนงอยู่บ้าง อีกทั้งรายการนี้เอแนงก็ชอบมากกว่ารายการที่ไมอามี่ที่เป็น US Hardcourt ก่อนเข้าช่วง Clay Season อีกด้วย นอกจากนั้นเอแนงหวังรายการนี้ถึงแชมป์ ต้องการให้รายการนี้เป็นแชมป์แรกของปี ก็ต้องมาดูกันครับว่าจะได้ขนาดไหน เพราะหลังจากพึงกลับมาแต่ก็เข้าชิงทั้ง 2 รายการ ที่สำคัญที่ Australian Open แม้จะยังเล่นได้ไม่ดีมาก โดยเฉพาะลูกเสริฟกับ Forehand ที่ยังไม่แม่นเหมือนเมื่อก่อนแต่ก็ยังทะลุเข้าชิง แล้วแพ้ไปแบบสูสี ถ้าช่วงระยะเวลาเดือนกว่าๆที่พักไป เอแนงฟิตและปรับจุดด้อย เพิ่มจุดแข็ง ให้ใกล้กับช่วง peak ในปี 2007 รายการนี้เราคงมีเฮกันแน่ๆครับ
Oracle Sets Fundraising Goal at $1 Million; Stefanie Graf, Martina Navratilova, Justine Henin and Lindsay Davenport Join Event
The BNP Paribas Open “Hit For Haiti” exhibition, on the evening of Friday, March 12, will be presented by Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL), and has added a second match to the evening’s event that will feature four legendary female players, it was announced today by Steve Simon, tournament director.
Oracle will lead a comprehensive fundraising effort which will include on-site, text messaging and private donations targeted to reach $1 Million. Funds will benefit the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development fund, which was established to help those impacted by the recent earthquakes in Haiti.
A women’s match featuring an astounding 50 Grand Slam titles on the same court will include Stefanie Graf and Lindsay Davenport taking on Martina Navratilova and Justine Henin. They will be the first match that evening, which will be followed by the match comprised of 44 Grand Slam title holders, Roger Federer and Pete Sampras playing Rafael Nadal and Andre Agassi.
“Oracle is proud to participate in fundraising efforts to benefit the relief efforts in Haiti,” said Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. “It is impressive to see this remarkable line up of athletes work together to raise much-needed funds for Haiti. Our hope is to hold an event that supports relief efforts and continues to raise the visibility for how Haiti needs the world’s help.”
The event will be broadcast live in numerous countries around the world, and domestically on the Tennis Channel, beginning at 7:30 PM PST. In addition, live web streaming will be available on bnpparibasopen.org, TennisTV.com, atpworldtour.com, sonyericssonwtatour.com, usta.com, tennis.com, espn360.com, and others.

INDIAN WELLS, California, March 10 (Reuters) - Former world number one Justine Henin continued her fairytale comeback with a 6-2 6-2 demolition of Slovakia’s Magdalena Rybarikova in the first round of the Indian Wells WTA tournament on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old Belgian, a dangerous wildcard entry at the desert venue where she won the women’s title in 2004, broke her opponent twice in each set to triumph in 68 minutes.
Henin sealed victory with a powerful first serve that forced a wide return by Rybarikova and the Belgian then waved in celebration to the stadium crowd at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
“It’s a great feeling,” a smiling Henin told reporters after booking her place in the next round against 31st-seeded Gisela Dulko of Argentina. “It’s a tournament I like a lot and I won here six years ago. It seems like a long time ago.
“I was glad with the way I won my match today. Not everything was perfect but generally I found a pretty good rhythm and I felt I could go a lot to the net.
“It was great to meet with the fans again here at Indian Wells. I have a lot of good memories from the past.”
Henin has reached successive finals since returning to the circuit in January after quitting the game in 2008 and she totally outclassed her opponent on a sunny afternoon.
Wearing a pink outfit, the Belgian broke Rybarikova in the first and third games of the match to sweep through the opening set in 36 minutes.
NO RUST
Showing no signs of rust in her first match since losing to American Serena Williams in the Australian Open final in late January, Henin broke the Slovakian’s serve twice more early in the second set to coast to victory.
Well though she played, however, she believes it will take her another couple of months before she reaches her top level physically.
“I still need a few more tournaments,” Henin said. “In Australia I proved to myself that I could make it, that I didn’t really need a lot of competition to be at a pretty good level.
“But I see further than that and with the French Open and Wimbledon, I hope at that time I can be at my best level and in good shape to perform really well.”
A seven-times grand slam champion, the Belgian will not earn WTA ranking points until the end of the Indian Wells tournament but she lurks as a dangerous threat to all of her opponents.
Should Henin advance to the third round, she is likely to face fifth seed Agneiszka Radwanska of Poland while fourth-seeded Russian Elena Dementieva is also in her quarter of the draw.
In other first-round matches on Wednesday, Swiss Patty Schnyder brushed past Italy’s Tathiana Garbin 6-1 6-2 and Russian Vera Dushevina crushed Australian Jelena Dokic 6-0 6-3.

ปล พรุ่งนี้มี hit for haiti ด้วยครับ มาตอน ทุ่มครึ่งที่นู่นก็ประมาณ 9.30 ครับ
ด้วยการเล่นที่ยังมีจุดบอดอยู่มากโดยเฉพาะลูกเสริฟที่ยังเป็นปัญหาไม่ต่างจาก Aussie Season เราคงต้องหวังว่าเอแนงจะพัฒนาให้ปิดุดบอดนี้ให้เร็วขึ้น เพราะรายการหน้าก็ไมอามี่ รายการต่อไปก็เข้า clay season แล้ว เวลาสำหรับเตรียมตัวเพื่อ 2 slam น้อยลงไปเรื่อยๆ เอาใจช่วยนะครับ
"Mixed feelings... Disappointed with this defeat but as always positive minded! I'm very happy to have taken part in the double "Hit for Haiti". What a wonderful moment! Now, I'm training for Miami. Thank you very much for all your supports and messages..."
