 Okay, so the draw for Miami for the men's has finally been released and we've got some massive names playing We've obviously got Elk res who's the new world number one He's trying to be the defending champion trying to defend that world number one ranking as well But let's go to the withdrawal list because we have so many players that are out of this tournament. Okay, the long withdrawal list You've got some of Bonsie. He's pulled out Brooksby. Karinja Buster is also pulled out chill it We're covering from surgery still he's pulled out no back jock of it Of course the biggest news not playing Jack Draper also the latest with the draw all after pulling out last week in his match against Elk Oraz got fun also not playing Greek sports also not playing and he's been in really good form So not sure why he's out corner also pulled out still recovering from his wrist injury at this round open Krianovic, Kwan, Nick Kirios, Mutey And of course Rafa Nadal who we won't be seeing until the clay court season So some huge names there some Grand Slam champions and some players that are in pretty good form as well Not playing at this tournament, but we still have plenty of players playing so let's go to the top of the draw All 32 seeds get a buy in the first round Alcoraz number one seed into the second round the defending champion He'll play qualifier or bagness in the second round Then you got Murray versus live each winner plays Cressy the 30th seed Then you got Fakina the 20th seed getting a buy in the first round He'll play either Otter or Nakashima in the second round Then you've got who's taking Ramos Van Ola's winner plays number 16 seed Tommy Paul now Paul versus Alcoraz Possible fourth round Murray versus Alcoraz possible third round some really interesting matchups there Paul beat Alcoraz last year in America before the US Open so very fun matchups potentially in this section All right next section of the draw you have Fritz the number nine seed He'll take on either Nava the wild card or Isna in the second round Isna Fritz They played a couple weeks ago could be an interesting match on a fast court and obviously is this played well here before Then you got Palo Veralis winner plays Shapa Valov the 24th seed Shapa Valov and Fritz third round very fun They've had some epic battles over the time then you got the 31 seed Schwarzman He'll take on either Wu or Edmund in the second round now Wu's been in some form so Wu has a very good draw against Schwarzman and maybe Edmund So maybe keep an eye out for him then you got Kashin taking on footjevic winner takes on the number seven seed Runa in the second round so Runa Fritz that could be the fourth round if the seeds play out and obviously quarter final Potentially between Runa and Elcaraz or maybe Fritz and Elcaraz, but very very fun part of the draw that top section Let's go to the second quarter now So the second quarter of the draw we've got the defending finalist rude number three seed He'll take on either Ravashka or a qualifier in the second round Then you got Popperon taken on Ima winner plays van der Zanschel the number 25 seed So rude versus van der Zanschel in the third round potentially then you got Rba He will take on either Roussevore or Krayanovich in the second round Daniel who's been in some good form takes on Rindenish winner plays the number three 13 seed Zverev Zverev's gonna tricky draw if he plays Daniel because you know Daniel has been good the last couple of weeks He beat Kasparud a few weeks ago in Acapulco and Rba I think Rba beat Djokovic here a few years ago So not an easy draw for Zverev and but I do want to see rude versus Zverev in a fourth round I think that'd be really interesting right now because rude's not in good form and Zverev of course is on the comeback Next section of the draw you've got the number 10 seed Sina He'll take on either a qualifier or Jera in the second round good start for him Then you got Fnirni versus Lestean winner plays the 21st seed Dimitrov So Sina and Dimitrov third round the seeds play out so nice a nice start there for for Sina Then you got Ketchmenovic the 29th seed taken on either Umbair or Montfist That's a fun match battle of the Frenchman battle of the I guess the generations too because you've got the The older Montfist versus the young Umbair Then you got Bubbly taking on Wolf winner plays the number 16 Rubelev in the second round So Rubelev taking on Ketchmenovic third round and then Rubelev Sina possible fourth round Because this section takes on the rude section so we could be getting Sina versus rude Rubelev versus rude Or maybe even Zverev versus Sina or Zverev versus Rubelev So some really fun matches potentially in that section of course this section also takes on the Semifinals where Elcress or Runa or Fritz could be there between playing one of these guys as well All right bottom half of the draw now the top section of the bottom half I've got her catch number eight seed he'll take on either a qualifier or Bergs in the second round the wild card I then you got Manorino versus song winner of that bull play against Shelton the 32nd seed Shelton versus Her catch in the third round that's huge especially because Shelton is playing in his College backyard and we went to Florida State and this is where we're playing in Florida We expect him to get a lot of support then you got the number 17 seed Chorich He'll take on either a qualifier of Kutla then we've got also Berreir taking on a qualifier So a couple of qualities here winner plays Norrie Norrie Chorich in the third round interesting and Possibly Norrie or Chorich taking on her catch in the fourth round very interesting Remember her catch is a player who won this two years ago So that's always that's very interesting next section of the draw You've got Diminor the number 15 seed he'll take on either Martiniz or Hallis in the second round Then you got Gallin taking on McDonald winner that plays Baratini the number 19 seed of Baratini has not been good He just played a challenger last week and lost in the in the middle of that tournament So a very crucial week for Baratini with Baratini Diminor a Diminor third round That could be a lot of fun Then you got Nishioca the number 28 seed He'll take on either Mulchan or a qualifier in the second round Then you got Biana versus Morales winner takes on Mehvedev the fourth seed good start for Mehdi He's gonna play a clay quarter on the second round Nishioca's you know not not That tough I guess for someone like Mehdi on a faster court and then Baratini who's not informal maybe to meet Diminor Who again is kind of like a Nishioca type So I think Mehvedev's got a nice draw And of course this section takes on the other section that we just spoke about her catch Mehvedev quarter final her catch Sorry a Mehvedev Chorich possible quarter final if you want to go a little bit different Or if you want to go with the hometown favorite Shelton versus Mehvedev which would be absolute fire that atmosphere would be absolutely crazy And the bottom quarter of the draw we've got Ojalia Seem the number five seed He'll take on either Kubla or Montero in the second round Kubla's been in good form this year So expect me if he plays FAA expect a fight Then you got a qualifier taken on Muneir winner of that takes on Serendolo last year's semi finals in the 25th seed Then you got Dan Evans 23rd seed he'll take on either team or Senego one of the best first rounds in the draw So now he goes being good team on the comeback very fun winner plays Evans That is a good fun section Then you got two qualifiers going at it winner plays Tiafo the 12th seed so big foe has a nice start And of course big foe versus Evans third round, but I guess we're all thinking that okay Well FAA and Tiafo who have been the better of this group should make it to the fourth round and play each other For a quarter final spot the last section Hashinov the 14th seed He'll take on either a qualifier or Etcheverry being pretty good Etcheverry lately in that second round Then you got Korya versus Lehechka winner plays Musetti now That's gonna be interesting because Lehechka has been very good But unfortunately last week Lehechka lost in a challenger event that everyone else was playing that lost in early Indian Well, so Lehechka's got to get some form But he has a nice draw bottom part now you've got Bayez 27th seed takes on either gear on or a qualifier Then you've got Gascay taking on a qualifier winner plays Sidze pass the second seed Gascay Sidze pass second round That is huge. How do we miss that? That is massive. Then of course Bayez versus Sidze pass if you want the seeds I think gear on might actually beat Bayez and then you've got Possibly Lehechka Sidze pass which we've got at the Australian Open which was a little bit of fun We had some fun Lehechka's good fun to watch especially against these big guys And then of course this section the draw takes on the FAA section So by the seeds Sidze pass versus Felix Ozelia seam Sidze pass Tiafo Do you want to go with something a little bit different or and then also this section the draw will take on The the her catch mebbedev section so semi-final between mebbedev and Sidze pass. I guess we all that's one That's the one that I want maybe not the one you want but the one that I want to see and there it is the draw for Miami It is being complete. We've got the women's draw already done. The men's draw is already out I go check at the women's draw if you haven't already, but man. It's a pretty open draw And I don't think anyone really has a bad draw off the top of my head I mean everyone's got a manageable draw all the contenders. I mean Elkres has got some tough opponents I mean, I don't think Elkres are gonna have a cakewalk and win this tournament and get the sunshine double without breaking a sweat There's some tough players in his way, but let me know who's gonna win this tournament Who do you think's gonna win? Do you think it's gonna be Elkres back-to-back? You think rude can get get good again Do you think her catch can maybe win another one is mebbedev gonna get back on track after losing pretty badly the other day to FAA to to Elkras. I'm gonna be honest. I have no idea. I This is wide open. I mean Elkres the easy pick right. He's in form, but I feel like it's not gonna be him I feel like it might be someone like a sinner or a her catch or someone a little bit outside the box Maybe a runa. Maybe it's a good chance for runa to add to that Paris title he won last year But let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think's gonna win this one?
