 So we've got the draw coming out for both Indian Wells for the men and the women We're gonna start with the ladies draw first because there's some crazy matches potentially in the second and third rounds in the bottom Section of the draw, but let's start with the withdrawals because there were some big names that are not gonna be playing in this event All right, so the six players that are not playing in Indian Wells on the women's side in this stage It's Bogdan Christian Contivate Osorio Teague and Zheng also pulling out Zheng being the biggest name I think she's the one that maybe a lot of people would be watching for She's not playing in this event due to injury. So some big names out of this draw All right, here is the top section of the draw We've got 32 seeds in this one the top 32 all 32 seeds gonna buy in the first round Started with fiontech the number one seed gets a buy in the first round winner She'll be awaiting the winner of Lou versus van oud bank going at it in the first round there Then you've got a qualifier versus Stearns the wild card winner that plays on Drescu the 32nd seed in the second round So on Drescu versus fiontech possible third round matchup very very fun Then you got Lynette the 20th seed getting a buy in the first round She'll await the winner of Covenage or Rado khanu in the second round Then you got senior Koba versus Neymar the winner will play Haddad Maya the 13th seed in the second round So look some tough opponents potentially there for fiontech, you know on Drescu's former champion Haddad Maya beach fiontech last year Rado khanu. We all know who she is Neymar also push fiontech very tough couple weeks or sorry a couple of times last year so not fun matches But I think fiontech will will like her draw and she is the defending champion next section of the draw You've got number 12 seed Samson overtaking on either Perra or Bronzetti who are going out in the first round Then you've got Castella versus qualifier winner of that plays the number 19 seed keys in the second round Then you've got Fernandez the 30th seed taking on after a buy in the first round will take on either Navarro Or McNally second round two wild cards from America going at it Then you got Corpac taking on Collins winner plays the number 5 seed Garcia in the second round So Collins Garcia is the match that matches huge winner plays Fernandez third round another crazy match tough draw for Garcia After a tough loss last week against Beckage So Collins second round Fernandez third round Samson over and keys and no slouch either and of course potentially this part of the draw Someone in this part of the draw will take on fiontech potentially in the quarterfinals So it doesn't get any easier for the players in this section. All right the next section of the draw You've got the number 4 seed Jabur taking on either Zenevska or Davis in the second round who's going out in the first round Then you've got Vondrucifer versus Marino winner plays number 28 seed Buscova in the second round Then you've got Travis in the 23rd seed She'll take on either a qualifier or brengel in the second round putting seven takes on Mukova winner plays the number 14 seed And two-time champion here back in the day as a ranker also made the final here two years ago So this section's a little bit open, you know Mukova is a dangerous second round for as a ranker potentially But you know Jabur's coming back from injury as a ranker should be the favorite to get out of this section I think she'd probably like her draw. Trevor's is not really a threat on hardcourt's Buscova I mean sometimes sometimes a threat, but I think as a ranker is gonna really like this section of the draw Then we've got the number 10 seed Rabakina. She waits the winner of Stevens versus Kennan in the first round That's a very fun first round champ versus champ winner will play a champion of a slam Then you got Diaz versus Chucky Uredo winner plays Bedosa the 21 seed potentially Bedosa versus Rabakina third round That's a lot of fun. Martich 25 seed she gets a buy in the first round She'll take on either a qual- she'll take a qualifier in the second round because we've got two qualies going at it Then you got Maria taken on Paulini winner plays the number 8 seed Kazakina in the second round I think the Kazakina is not in great form But I think Bedosa Rabakina is where it's at right the winner of that match will probably make it to and play Azarenka in the semis of course this section does play that section So Azarenka Rabakina potentially Azarenka Bedosa, which was the final in 21 that could happen again Bedosa likes playing here. She made the semi-finals last year. She won a couple of years ago Rabakina obviously looking to do something as well, but man, this is an interesting section I think there's only a few names that I would expect to get through and of course Fiontech awaits the semis That's where it's at. Let's go to the next section now third section of the draw now You've got Sakari the number seven seed getting a buy in the first round She'll take on either volley nets or Rodgers in the second round Rodgers versus Sakari is not a fun second round Then you've got Sharif taking off Rivertober winner plays Kalanina to the 27th seed in the second round Pliscava the number 17 seed she awaits the winner of Kalanskaya versus Parkes Very interested to see how Parkes does in this tournament Then you've got Lee versus Blinkova winner plays Kudamatova the 11th seed in the second round Sakari's got a tough draw to start but she is the finalist from last year So she'll probably she can get through Rodgers or avoid Rodgers. She'll probably like her chances I think she can beat Kudamatova. I think Pliscava is always tough But I think on these courts Sakari would like her chances So I think Sakari could make it through this section. She'll like it Like her chances, especially if she avoids Rodgers Then you've got Kovitava the number 15 seed taken on Mandlik or Risk in the second round Very interesting second round there. She's gonna have to play an American Then you've got Sastavich versus Kineppi winner of that plays OstaPenko the number 24 seed in the second round Then you've got the 26 seed Potapova awaiting the winner of qualifier or Wong in the first round there Then you've got another qualifier taken on Georgie winner plays Pagula the third seed Georgie Pagula is a very interesting second round match Georgie won a title a few weeks ago and we all know what Pagula can do. She's very consistent at all tournaments But again, I mean OstaPenko Kovitava Pagula are probably likely to get through and play possibly Sakari So Pagula Sakari quarter-final Kovitava Pagula played already this year with Pagula losing Also, you know, OstaPenko's had her moments too So this could be a fun section of the draw once we hit the third and fourth rounds But again, I mean Georgie Pagula is probably the most interesting part of that draw in the second round Or Kinepi, I mean Kinepi versus OstaPenko is fun too. Alright, the final section of the draw Which is the crazy section of the draw the number 16 Goff She'll play a qualifier in the second round because there's two qualies going at it in that first round Then you've got this Kovitava Pagula winner plays number 31 seed and this Omova in the second round Then you've got Song getting a buy in the first round She'll take on either a qualifier or Costuk who's in very good form in that second round Then you've got another qualifier versus Taikman winner plays Benchich Who's been a very good player this year Benchich. So that's actually the draw very interesting I think Goff Benchich are the favorites, you know, Costuk's in form as well So I wouldn't be sleeping on her or Anissa Mova. I mean, Anissa Mova can come good too So that's an interesting little section of the draw But let's get the bottom section because this is where things get really crazy Krajikova the number 16 seed gets a buy in the first round She awaits the winner of Bondare or Yastremska in the second round Then you've got Wong versus Mertens winner that plays Alexandrova Then you've got Vekic the number 29 seed She'll take on either Zoo or qualifier in the second round as Zoo has been in very good form this year I didn't even mention her name, but Vekic won a title last week Then you've got Rodina versus Kornay winner plays the number two seed Sabalenka That bottom section is the craziest section of the draw by a mile You've got obviously the seeds Vekic in form Krajikova in form Sabalenka Australian Open champion Zoo's being good Kornay is always dangerous, you know Yastremska can sometimes turn it on Alexandrova shouldn't be you know shouldn't be overlooked either that section is where it's crazy And then of course you've got this section taken on maybe Goff or Benchich in the quarter finals So Benchich Sabalenka, which we saw at the Australian Open Goff Sabalenka. That could be fun Krajikova Benchich. No, but I don't know what that looks like I mean some crazy crazy matches in that bottom section and that very very bottom section of course as well All right, so there's the women's draw that is what it looks like That is how it how it's gonna be for this year and like I said the top sections interesting a little bit interesting But the bottom sections are nuts some of those matches in the second third fourth rounds are gonna be crazy But who's gonna win?
