 Okay, so the men's draw for indium walls has just been released and there are some crazy first-round matches and some of these sections of the draw Absolutely crazy, but let's go to the players that are not playing only a couple of names that have withdrawn from this tournament All right, so the three players that are not playing in this event Jera He's pulled out McDonald has also pulled out and Carrots of has also pulled out of this one So not major names. They weren't going to be seated at this event But still some very dangerous opponents here. We go. Okay. Let's start at the top of the draw 32 C's in this one, of course every seed get to buy in the first round. No back jockovic playing for this Tournament for the first time in five years. He is the number one seed gets by in the first round He'll take on either a qualifier or Vukic in the second round Then you got Kovacovic taken on zong winner of that will take on the number 30 seed at your very in the second round So then you got the 17th seed Paul He'll take on the winner of Mickelson and Munara in the second round Then you got a qualifier taken on Kipson winner of that will take on umbear in the second round And we all know that on bears in great form jockovic umbear could be a fourth round crazy Crazy match if we can get it cause plays watch out for no back jockovic got to watch out for him umbear playing really well Tommy Paul as well definitely shouldn't be overlooked even though he hasn't been playing great at the big tournaments this year He has still been very dangerous in the past. Anyways next section of the draw We've got Casper who the number nine seed gets by the first round He'll take on a qualifier in the second round because we've got two qualities going at it Then we've got feast taken on Borges winner of that will take on the number 23 seed for Kena in the second round Then you've got the number 28 seed Norrie He will take on either Senago and Kichmenovic or Kichmenovic in the second round Then you got my feast taken on Purcell winner of that will take on the number eight seed her catch in the second round So really interesting little section there for her catch very tricky section for her catch as well You know you got to look out for her catch You got to look out for rude in this section of the draw and I'd be definitely keeping an eye on my feast as well Who has been very dangerous of late this section of the draw though will take on the Djokovic section So we're gonna go by the big names Djokovic taking on her catch You want to go with something a little different maybe Djokovic versus rude Casper It has played pretty well the last couple of weeks making back-to-back finals in Mexico Or if you want to go with something a little more maybe a little bit more random Djokovic versus my feast if you want to back LeMont to make it to the quarters and have a great run at this event All right next section of the draw. We've got Mehvedev number four seed He gets by in the first round. He'll take on the winner of Kabali or Biana in the second round then you got some fuel and taken on Evans winner that will take on the number 29 Seed quarter in the second round then you got the number 21 seed manorino He'll take on either Vavrenka or Mahatch in the second round qualifier takes on Muller winner That will take on the number 13 seed Demetrov in the second round. Mehvedev's section isn't far from easy This is not an easy section quarter on his day can be dangerous nearly beat Rafa here a couple years ago Demetrov can beat Mehvedev. I think might have beaten him at this place A couple of years ago. So really interesting section here for Mehvedev to navigate and not not very easy All right bottom section of the top half We've got Taylor Fritz the number 12 seed will take on either Kotov or Tobilo in the second round Then you've got Fanini taken on Moraeus winner that will take on Baez the 19th seed in the second round He's been playing really well on the clay courts of late Then you've got Moussedi 26 seed It's buying the first round he'll take on either Vandezanchal or Shapavalov in the second round Then you got Rayonis taken on Nadal you heard that correct Rayonis versus Nadal Winner plays the number seven seed runner that section alone is Insane that is crazy not to mention you've got Shapo and Moussedi But we'll get to that in a second plays a watch out for of course you got to watch out for Runa You've got to watch out for Fritz of course You got to watch out for Rafa you've got to watch out for Rayonis two made a semi-final back in 2019 here And Shapavalov also very dangerous and I'm really interested to see Baez as well Because Baez has been great on clay. How does that translate to a slow hardcore? So this section alone is stacked not to mention this section will take on the Mehvedev section So we could be getting if we go by the seeds Mehvedev versus Runa We could be getting Mehvedev versus Fritz We want to go with something a little bit more Indian well as friendly or we could be getting Mehvedev versus Baez Or maybe even the dream of Mehvedev versus Nadal in the quarter finals And of course this section will take on the Djokovic section in the semi-finals So Djokovic Mehvedev semi-final potentially or Djokovic versus Runa if you want to go with something a little different Or if you want to dream really really really big Djokovic Nadal in the semi-finals I know it might be a little crazy and it probably isn't gonna happen But hey we can dream can't we we can dream All right, let's go to the bottom of the draw bottom of the draw here You've got Rublev the number five seed he will take on either Murray or a qualifier in the second rounds Then you got you banks taken on Nakashima winner of that will take on the number 32 seed Lehechka in the second round then you got the number 18 seed Tiafo He will take on either lie visual reservoir in the second round Then you've got a qualifier versus Altmayer winner of that will take on the number 11 seed Stephanos Sidney pass in the second round very interesting draw here kind of like the Mehvedev section You know you got Rublev you got Sidney pass you got Tiafo They've all played well at big tournaments like this before Lehechka You know on the rise as well and then you've got players like Murray this section is really interesting I don't know who comes out of it next section of the draw you got Shelton the number 16 seed He'll take on either men's Iq or a qualifier in the second round Then you got Shevchenko taken on Coppa winner of that will take on the number 22 seed Sarundolo in the second round Then you got the number 25 seed Struff you take on either Chorich or Ovner in that second round Then you got Kokonakis versus Giron winner of that will take on the number three seed the man of the moment Yannick Sinner the shroud of a champion Yannick Sinner in that second round. So Sinner's draw pretty good I mean, I don't think there's super threats Especially because the only guys that can beat him are in the other half of the draw anyway Or at least recently with Djokovic being the only guy that's really beating him lately So I don't think Sinner's going to be too too bothered by anyone in this section on paper This section of course will take on the Rublev section in the quarters so we could be getting Sinner versus Rublev we could be getting Sinner versus Sidney pass or we could be getting Sinner versus Tiafo Because Big foe has played well here is the semi finalist from last year along with Sinner making the semis in 2023 so that could be really fun But I don't think Sinner's going to be too bothered by Anybody in this little section. All right next section of the draw you've got number six seeds Vera He'll take on either O'Connell or Draper in the second round Then you got Hanfman taken on cash in when order that would take on the number 27 seed Greek sport in the second round then you got the 20th seed Bublik We'll take on either a qualifier or Thompson in the second round Then you got Daniel versus Galen winner of that will take on the number 10 seed demon or in the second round Of course demon or has been so so good winning a capocco last week and beating city pass and rude to do it So demon or is really really in some form this year not to mention also beat Djokovic earlier in the season So this section's kind of cool. I mean, you know Diminos in great form Bublik made a final last week It's very I was looking for form. He played kind of bad last week didn't you know lost first round So really interesting section those guys definitely to watch I'd be watching out for Thompson as well because after winning his first title He's gonna be feeling pretty good about himself did beat city pass here last year In a big upset in the first couple of days So really fun little section there and really keen to see if demon can keep going from strength to strength bottom section of the draw Now we've got the number 15 seed Hashinov He'll take on either a qualifier or wolf in the second round Then we've got marriage and taken on Popper and winner of that will take on the number 24 seed Jerry in the second round Then we've got FAA number 31 seed He'll play a qualifier in the second round because we've got two qualifiers going at it in that first round Then we've got advantage taking on an Audi winner of that will take on the number two seed and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz who has got a foot problem or had a foot problem by rolling the ankle in Rio a couple of weeks ago So definitely interested to see fitness wise how he looks in the first couple rounds and there's not an easy first couple rounds I mean FAA can play an Audi's been informed. So definitely a tough test for Carlos early on But of course place to watch you got to watch out for Alcaraz You've got to watch out for Jerry. Jerry did beat Alcaraz on the clay courts a couple of weeks ago Definitely a threat Hashinov also won a title this year already because this section will take on this very section So we could be getting Alcaraz versus Vera in a quarter final We could be getting Alcaraz versus demon or in a quarter final if you want to go with the guy Who's been in the best form out of this section and of course this section will take on the semi-finals Again sinner section so we could be getting Alcaraz sin up rematch the last year semi-final We could be getting Alcaraz versus Rublev We could be getting Alcaraz versus Sidney pass if you think sin is the guy to make it through maybe you go sin of us It to meet a demon or which is probably the one the most informed two players in the section, right? So sin of us is demon or maybe the most likely based on form Maybe you want to go sin of us is very if you want to go something a little bit different again But there's so many little crazy pockets, right? It's maybe not a crazy draw all around There's some players that have really simple roads. There's some players that have nightmare first second rounds There's like little pockets of the draw that are just insane Especially that section with Ndahl and Raionich and Runa that section is just like such a hot little mess I love it absolutely love it, but let me know down in the comments below if you watching this later Who do you think sin will win Indian Wells? I'm gonna go with Djokovic because I mean look his draw looks good I mean sinners on the other side. Maybe he placed in her in the final. Maybe gets revenge. Maybe doesn't Sinners draws not too bad either. You know, there are some more threats than Djokovic Maybe but I mean it's got to be one of those guys, right? You pick the guys that are playing well I really want to see how Dimin or does really really keen to see how he does as well and how Elkress looks physically, right? I mean defending champion, but has got that injury problem. But man, what a great draw Indian Wells Biggest tournament since you're trying to open
