Townsend, Keys, Sanchez and Johnson Receive Indian Wells Wild Cards; February National Open Results

With the long, cold, snowy winter we've had in Michigan, it's hard to believe spring, and the two big pro tournaments in this country, are just days away.

The BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, which begins next Tuesday, announced its wild cards today, for both the main and qualifying draws.

Main Draw:
Taylor Townsend
Madison Keys
Melanie Oudin
Kristina Mladenovic (France)
Maria Sanchez
Bethanie Mattek-Sands
Shahar Peer(Israel)
Kimiko Date-Krumm(Japan)

David Nalbandian (Argentina)
Tommy Robredo (Spain)
James Blake
Steve Johnson
Tim Smyczek

Qualifying:
Andrea Petkovic (Germany)
Ajla Tomljanovic (Croatia)
Grace Min
Jessica Pegula
Irina Falconi

Rhyne Williams
Christian Harrison
Jack Sock
Dennis Novikov


Qualifying wild cards go to the winners, and often the finalists, of the pre-qualifying tournament, which is now underway (pdf draws are here).

The complete release announcement is here. It contains two errors that I noticed, saying that Memphis was Sock's first ATP quarterfinal when he actually reached the quarterfinals last summer at the ATP's  Atlanta tournament. And Madison Keys just turned 18, not 19.




In a much more timely fashion than the last set of them, here are the results from the USTA National Opens that finished (mostly) earlier this week. Two sites and three divisions were not able to complete their tournaments due to rain.
