Few of the photos I took at Indian Wells

Congratulations Aryna Sabalenka & Jannik Sinner to each of you, for winning your first @BNPPARIBASOPEN titles. You both fought extremely hard, making your first time victories in the desert that much sweeter! Good luck in Miami! 📸 Nicholas M. Estavillo | @aphoto2remember | IG: a_photo_to_remember **** stay tuned for plenty more photos!!

“You know, it's very many times that we have played where one is on, the other one is off, and vice versa. Or there are some things that are on and there are some things that are off, and you have to figure that stuff out that day. But that's not just doubles, it's tennis, period.” - Taylor Townsend, shortly after winning @BNPPARIBASOPEN title with Katerina Siniakova 📸 Nicholas M.

“I feel like here, the ball is flying through the air quicker. Sometimes it doesn't stop as much as it was stopping like in Doha. But I knew that it's gonna be slow. I knew that especially if it's night matches, then the ball is not flying as much as during the day. So I was trying to adjust, and knowing the conditions, of course, I change a little bit the tactic or preparation for the match. But overall, I think we'll know how it is here. It's not easy to predict, and you need to be ready for everything.” - Elena Rybakina, post win 📸 Nicholas M. Estavillo | @aphoto2remember | IG: a_photo_to_remember

“As I say, if you look on the first forehand I do after it happened, I think I could have done a better shot if there was no gesture from Jack. So as I say, was I distracted big time? No. Do I feel good about it? Not really. But I also don't feel like I cheated or something.” - Daniil Medvedev, post match win regarding his use of video assistance review 📸 Nicholas M. Estavillo | @aphoto2remember | IG: a_photo_to_remember

“Physically, he's improving a lot, you know. So he's gonna be a very tough, tough player in the future to beat, of course. He's shown this already against incredible players in the past and also in the present. So it's gonna be very interesting to see how he's gonna evolve.” - Jannik Sinner, on Learner Tien’s tennis 📸 Nicholas M. Estavillo | @aphoto2remember | IG: a_photo_to_remember
