Rafael Nadal and Cristiano Ronaldo team up for Nike ad

Rafael Nadal and Cristiano Ronaldo teamed up for the ad for Nike’s new football boots, the Mercurial Vapor VIII. It's lovely to see a more natural side of Nadal in an ad for once and we all know he is a fan of football and after shooting the ad Nadal interviewed Ronaldo to discover he was a fan of tennis.

BNP Paribas Open

There are only two tournaments scheduled for March, but don't worry there are plenty for April!

The first of these tournaments is the BNP Paribas Open , more commonly know as Indian Wells!

While one finalist from the Dubai duty free tennis championship crashed out in the first round the other added to his trophy haul, Roger Federer won his fourth BNP Paribas Open title!

In the semi-finals Federer overcame possibly his greatest rival, Rafa Nadal, however it wasn't all bad news for Nadal as he won the doubles for the second time in Indian Wells, along with his partner Marc Lopez.

In the final Roger Federer overcame John Isner (who reached a career high of No.10 this week) 6-7(7) 6-3.

In doing this Roger Federer equalled Rafael Nadal's record of 19 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles, is this the second-coming of the Swiss Maestro?!

Murray Watch Monday (On a Saturday)

After getting his revenge on Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals unfortunately for the hopeful British, Murray lost out in the Dubai final to Roger Federer!

But it seems Murray is looking forward to Indian Wells were it has been commented that he is much more relaxed than he has been in the future, many are saying that if anyone could surpass Djokovic this year it is most likely to Murray!

Andy Murray has been seen out and about a lot, he attended the Indian Wells players party, his mother has been with him throughout this tournament and posted a picture on Twitter along with small comments. Colin Flemming and Ross Hutchins have been seen with him, it's great to see the Brits getting along! I have compiled a few pictures to sum up the past week or so:

During his time at Indian Wells Andy has been answering some questions put to him by fans, for 'HEAD'. In the second video Andy reveals something about his 'relationship' with Rafa Nadal. ;)

A last bit for all tennis fans, not just Murray fans, at the Indian Wells player party the players were asked who their favourite Hollywood actor and actress were and then who they would like to portray them in a movie:

 Hopefully next weeks Murray Watch Monday won't be so late!
