Desert Storm

Outiside of the four Grand Slam events, the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells, Calif., is one of the biggest tournaments in the game, with both men and women competing at the same time. This weekend saw the big guns of the men's game out in full force, and with the exception of Robby Ginepri's loss -- to the equally adorable Carlos Moya -- I was pretty happy with how things went:

King Roger is looking to regain form after a weak winter; he advanced in straight sets over Guillermo Garcia-Lopez
Robby Ginepri's year has started off well, but an unlucky draw led him to his downfall in the great Carlos Moya
Despite winning his first Grand Slam title earlier this year, Serb Novak Djokovic still cannot afford a shirt ...

A freshly shorn Tommy Haas was no match for Andy Roddick, who's season had been going so well up until now ...
Cutest couple in tennis?
Other winning hunks included Mario Ancic, Tommy Robredo, Mikhail Youzhny, Richard Gasquet, David Nalbandian and Juan Carlos Ferrero.

Oh, Robby! He had SO MANY break chances against Carlos Moya; just heart-breaking!

Haas is normally pretty cute. But he looks like Jim J. Bullock in those photos.
