Bad news for the Brits

Katie O’Brien, Anne Keothavong, Jamie Baker and Alex Bogdanovic have all crashed out of the qualifying for the Indian Wells Masters Series event.

All four Britons were in action in the build up to the main tournament but none could make it through to the main draw to join Andy Murray. O’Brien went out to Czech Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 4-6 4-6 in her second round match, while Keothavong lost to No 10 seed in the qualifying draw, Russian Galina Voskoboeva, 5-7 6-0 1-6.

It was even worse for Bogdanovic and Baker who both lost in their first round matches. ‘A-Bog’ lost against the world No 126, Japanese Kel Nishikori , 4-6 6-4 5-7, while Baker lost against the world No 97, Frenchman Florent Serra, 6-7(7) 1-6.

All British interest is not lost yet however, as both Murray brothers are in action, with Jamie partnering Max Mirnyi once again in the doubles.
