Ideas on the Draw
We at the moment are totally within the clay court docket swing, and Madrid at all times throws up some fascinating outcomes because the circumstances are distinctive because of the altitude.
With no Djokovic, who has an elbow challenge, Alcaraz is the highest seed, and it’s onerous to look previous him having the ability to defend his title.
Final week’s Barcelona champion has a manageable draw, and his first actual take a look at seems more likely to be former winner Zverev within the fourth spherical.
Additionally within the high half Andrey Rublev, contemporary off his maiden Masters 1000 title, third seed Casper Ruud, and Munich champion Holger Rune are most probably Alcaraz’s principal roadblocks to creating the ultimate.
Within the backside half, Medvedev is the second seed and will face Andy Murray in spherical 2. That may very well be enjoyable on one other floor, however Murray on clay has by no means been too scary a prospect. Given his displaying in Monte Carlo, he may wrestle towards qualifier Andrea Vavassori. Taylor Fritz and Cameron Norrie are the Russian’s potential quarter-final opponents.
Fourth seed and 2019 finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas additionally finds himself within the backside half and will face Thiem in spherical two, which has the potential for being a enjoyable match with each males sporting a one-handed backhand.
Thiem faces Kyle Edmund in his opener, and that’s a really winnable match. Edmund, who as soon as boasted one of many largest forehands, if not the largest on tour, has struggled with damage of late, so even a subpar Thiem is a heavy favorite.
Alongside Medvedev and Tsitsipas, Felix Auger-Aliassime is the very best seed on this half and has been practising all week underneath the eager eye of coach Toni Nadal.
My last prediction: Alcaraz vs Fritz
Shock package deal: Dan Evans
