2013 SAP Open San Jose draw: Raonic tries the hat trick. Pick and preview

This will be a bit of a farewell as it is going to be the last year this tournament will be on the tour.

Milos Raonic, seed no.1, will try to complete the hat-trick to win this tournament for the third consecutive time. But the Canadian will have to face with other big servers alias the top 2 Americans Isner and Querrey.

Pick

As this is an indoor tournament, we expect a lot of boom boom tennis. (there is also Karlovic playing in here). Raonic is the obvious pick also because seed no.2 John Isner is not playing very well as he is trying to recover from a knee injury.

Unfortunately a couple of interesting players had to pull out. So we are not going to see Mardy Fish, still struggling with his heart issues, Dolgolopov and Feliciano Lopez
