Even with the world's top 2 teams absent, we still have a great draw at Indian Wells. There are 3 former GS champion teams in the draw, and 3 teams who have been finalists at GS aswell.
Which team will win Indian Wells?

Well, as my favs Black and Huber as not there this week, I will follow this tournament from far. I hope there'll be a surprise winner, and I'd like it very much to be Koryttseva and Uhlirova. No team seems to be very high above, except Cara and Liezel in the last three tournaments, and Sugi/Srebo. Maybe Peschke/Stubbs, but it always depends on Rennae's attitude... Chan and Chuang don't seem to be back to their 2007 level, Yan and Zheng seem to focus more on singles than the previous years, and you could tell in the first round last week, and Peng/Sun played lots of crap tournaments before finally winning last week. About the Bond sisters, if they can end up a match without yelling at each other, why not, but I wouldn't bet on it!
So that's quite open, let's see.

My dream winners would be Dechy/Zvonareva... I think they could take it along with a bunch of other teams. Peschke/Stubbs are probably the favourites with the absence of Black/Huber anyway, but like I said it's very up in the air. :p
I voted for Peschke/Stubbs, but I wouldn't be surprised if any of the other teams on the poll won it. ;)

I love Dulko/Peer but I think Peschke/Stubbs will win though.

I'd hope for Hantuyama vs. Zheng/Yan final, but who knows? :scratch:
Yan & Zheng could definitely make a statement here and claim their return to the top of the doubles game.
But I'm just hoping for the fairytale ending Hantuyama never had when they were a consistent team:)
