Article lists the matches that are scheduled for Indian Wells on March 12th with a preview for Nadal's match provided.
Rafael Nadal is on the Order of Play at Indian Wells 2011 as the world number one will open his efforts in California against Rik De Voest of South Africa. Nadal had a bye through the first round of the Masters event and his match against De Voest is a second round encounter.
De Voest is a player currently ranked 162nd on tour and he is very unlikely to trouble the current world number one. De Voest is not usually able to get into tournaments of Indian Wells' magnitude and he may be delighted with the fact that he has simply made the second round this year.
Nothing except for a straight sets victory for Rafa can be expected.
In double's action Milos Raonic has teamed with Feliciano Lopez and they will challenge the double's draw. However they will face the doubles team of Mike and Bob Bryan, the top ranked doubles team in the world, and that should spell a short end to Raonic's and Lopez's efforts.
The entire Order of Play is provided below for Saturday March 12th.
