帕萨雷尔终于长舒了一口气,在他的眼里,印第安维尔斯大师赛突然重生了,他甚至高兴得想跳一曲 PARA-PARA 舞。没有谁会比这位印第安维尔斯的赛事总监更能明白,这座城市不能没有网球,也不能没有大师赛。无论是新闻周刊杯还是太平洋寿险杯,随便叫什么名字都好,只要它还在这里,还像花儿如约盛开,这里的人们就会觉得安心、满足。印第安维尔斯大师赛时间只有12天,但对于这座只有五万人的小城来说却是如此重要,它是小城活力的源泉。全世界除了四大满贯,就数这里的球迷最多了,小城会在瞬间变成一个大都市,仅仅是因为网球。由于只距离美国科技新城圣迭戈2小时的车程,许多居住在那里的人特别喜欢来到印第安维尔斯享受假期和周末。所以,印第安维尔斯给人的印象是静谧的,她的激情只有在每年的三月间会那么彻底地绽放一次,这个小城最重要的话题永远都是网球。这已经不是印第安维尔斯大师赛第一次遭遇危机了,在短短20多年的时间里,它历经过繁华和衰落,但以往都比不上2006年这一次更紧迫。不过最重要的是,它活过来了。2006年3月1日,印第安维尔斯大师赛的赛事总监查理·帕萨雷尔和罗纳德·摩尔召开了新闻会,公开宣布:印第安维维斯大师赛已经找到了新的投资伙伴,新成立的投资集团用筹集到的5500万美元从 IMG 手里购回了该赛事50%的股份,这站大师赛将会继续留在印第安维尔斯至少30年。
Passarrel finally breathed a sigh of relief. In his eyes, the Indian Wells Masters was suddenly born again, and he was even happily dancing a PARA-PARA dance. No one knows better than the tournament director at Indian Wells. The city can not live without tennis or masters.

Indian Wells Masters time only 12 days, but for this town of only 50,000 people is so important, it is the source of vitality of the town. In addition to the four major world slam, count the number of fans here, the town will instantly become a metropolis, just because of tennis. With just 2 hours’ drive from San Diego, the technology hub of the United States, many people who live there prefer to come to Indian Wells for holidays and weekends. So, Indian Wells gives the impression of being quiet, and her passion blooms only once every March, and the most important topic in this town is always tennis. This is not the first crisis in the Indian Wells Masters, it has experienced bustling and declining in just 20 years, but in the past it was even more pressing than in 2006.
