Great tennis has already been played at Roland Garros, with five-time champion Rafael Nadal surviving his first match that lasted 4 hours, 1 minute against American John Isner.
And Kim Clijsters, who seemed to have everything under control, unraveled in a three-set 2nd round loss.
But it's tough to watch this tournament the way I used to. That's because I learned how great it is to watch a tennis tournament in person at Indian Wells.
The desert oasis is home to one of the most well attended tournaments outside the majors the BNP Paribas Open. And fans get up close and personal with the players.
It really is an amazing experience, with the best players in the world sweating it out feet in front of you. Now, I'm spoiled.
This year at Indian Wells, Novak Djokovic served notice he's doing something special. His three set win over Nadal, improved his record to 18-0 at the time.
I'll be watching to see if his streak continues, but it just won't be the same.
