2013 ATP Dubai: Picks and Preview

We have the draw of the 2013 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

The top seeds are Djokovic, Federer, Berdych, Del Potro, Tsonga, Tipsarevic, Seppi and Youzhny.

Djokovic had a very good draw with very few players that may threaten him on his path to the final (may be only Del Potro)

Federer, seeded no,2, wasn’t as lucky to probably play Tomic in the quarters and then either Berdych or Tsonga in the semis.

The favorite is Djokovic that is aiming for his 4th title in Dubai.
