This edition of the Sony Open is orphan of very interesting players such as Nadal, Federer, Wawrinka, Fish and Gulbis. So there is more space for the new comers (Tomic, Dimitrov and Janowicz) to show all their potential. Unfortunately all of them fell in the same part of the draw and it is going to be Murray to test them.
This year’s seeds are: Djokovic, Murray, Ferrer, Berdych, Del Potro, Tsonga, Tipsarevic, Gasquet, Cilic, Almagro, Simon, Monaco, Nishikori, Raonic, Haas and Seppi.
Our Pick
The super favorite is obviously Djokovic. Even if Nole had an unexpected loss to Del Potro in Indian Wells he is definitely the man to beat and he has a tremendous mental egde on all the other players.
Here the analsysis for the draw.
