FAA is almost guaranteed at this stage of his career to lose in the round of 64. Inconsistent is an understatement. Should be top 10 pushing top 3, but has gone backwards of late. Hasn’t done well v the lower ranked players.Still my favourite MS event with the location, the buzz, and although no Djokovic and Nadal for different reasons, it’s the first tournament since the AO where everyone competes. It’s definitely a wide open field on the men’s side and I think we could see a 2021 style final as you could honestly make an argument for a dozen guys, if not more.
Taylor Fritz is the defending champion but doesn’t have an easy draw with de Minaur a possible 4R match who’s coming off the biggest title of his career. In the section below, Sinner and Rune are likely to meet in the 4R. Two slam winners in Wawrinka and Thiem floating amongst them, but hard to see either winning more than a round.
I like the draw of Auger-Aliasimme but I don’t like his form. He looks off the pace this year and even with a draw that he should capitalise on, hard to see him doing any real damage. Alcaraz the top seed could face Kokkinakis in the second round and Andy Murray is looming. I guess the question for Carlos is how fit is he after seemingly cooking himself in Rio.
Medvedev’s the in-form player in the draw having won three consecutive titles amidst a 14 game winning streak, however has never gone beyond the 4R here. If he reaches that stage he could face Zverev and that’s a battle I want to see. Zverev’s form is on the improve and would love to see him win here. Ruud is the high seed in this section but his form doesn’t inspire confidence. Tsitsipas has only played once since the AO, in Rotterdam, where he was dismal in losing to Sinner. Rublev in this section too, who could face Lehecka in the second round.
Quality match-ups everywhere, very hard to predict a winner. Despite his poor track record at Indian Wells it’s hard to go past Medvedev, although I really like what Sinner is doing this year. In fact if he wasn’t physically spent from back to back finals, I think he would’ve beat Medvedev in Rotterdam. So I’ll go with Jannik to win his first MS.
He's one of those players that I occasionally see over the years and think he's ready to breakout, only to realise he's now 30.Taro Daniel is a serious talent. Won through to the round of 64. Impressive.
He's actually 30? Serious. Honestly thought the guy was 23-25. WowsersHe's one of those players that I occasionally see over the years and think he's ready to breakout, only to realise he's now 30.
He’s a bit of an odd one who I can’t work out. Everything looks good and he moves so well on the court but he’s had such a bad start to the year. This coming after 4 titles last year and some outstanding results against top players. The BH is too easy to break down, those back to back losses against Medvedev showed how it can be exploited.FAA is almost guaranteed at this stage of his career to lose in the round of 64.

Alcaraz or Medvedev for me. They’ll just cruise through opponents first few rounds.
Really keen to see Kokkinakis, Kubler or Popyrin to play solid tennis.

A tough match for Lehecka, ended up being a good win which could’ve easily been extended. He ended up winning 7-6, 7-5 in just under 2 hours. Pretty good match, Lehecka just a little more consistent, although broke himself from 4-2 in the second with two double faults. Faces Rublev next, definitely winnable but would need to improve on this in order to cause the upset.
Even grass has began to play notoriously slow.These courts suck so slow and boring
Great tournament but this is just a hard court playing as a clay court
