 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and we have a little bit more of the Asian Swing to go this year. Of course, it's not the big Asian Swing that we're used to seeing but we do have a staple in the Asian Swing of past years in the Japan Open. Happening this week and we've got some big names playing but some big names have pulled out so let's go to the withdrawal list. So having a look at the four withdrawals here and we've got Brooksby, he's pulled out, Giron has also pulled out, Sosa. And Alexander Zverev has pulled out and we all know that we won't see Zverev potentially for the rest of the year so unfortunately if Zverev won't be playing this event, we don't know when we'll see him again. Having a look at the top of the draw here and nobody gets a buy in the first round, we have eight seeds in this one with Kasparud, the number one seed he takes on Munae in the first round. Winner of that match takes on either Martinez or Poprin in the second round. Then we've got McDonald taking on Uchida, winner of that match takes on either Kwon or the number six seed Diminor in the second round. Then we've got the number four Tiafo taking on Uchiyama, winner of that match takes on either Daniel or Morales in the second round. Then we've got Ketchumanovich takes on Nishioca, winner of that match takes on either Elbert, winner of the eight seed Evans in the second round. So if we're going to talk about potential matchups in the next couple of rounds, we can see maybe Rude versus Diminor in a quarter final, Tiafo versus Evans. But you've got to watch Evan Nishioca, had a very good week this week and he did actually beat Dan Evans along the way to the final this week in Korea. So maybe he can make a surprise and of course Rude versus Tiafo, that could be the semi-finals of course made very good runs at the US Open. Both those guys, so that could be a really fun semi-final as well. Having a look at the bottom half of the draw and the return of Nick Kirios, he's the number five seed he will play Seng in the first round. Very fun to see Keeg's back in action after the US Open. Winner of that match takes on either a Qualifier or Matchesack in the second round. Then we've got Chariots taking on Quali. Winner of that match takes on either Duckworth on the number three seed Fritz in the second round. Then we've got the number seven seed Shapovalov taking on Johnson. Winner of that match takes on a Qualifier because we've got two Qualies going at it in the first round. Then we've got Nakashima taking on Mochizuki. Winner of that match takes on either Kokonakis on the number two seed Nori in the second round. Tough first round for Cam Nori, but could get some interesting matchups in the quarter finals potentially Kirios Fritz. Could be a really fun matchup. Then we've got Shapo or Nori in the quarter finals potentially. Or we could even get something like Nori vs Kirios in the semifinals Fritz vs Nori in the semis. I mean there's some really interesting matchups in this one. Let me know down in the comments below who do you think is going to win this one. Of course Kirios is going to be on the radar, Tiafo. Maybe he can win the biggest tournament of his life after having a very impressive couple of months winning the Labor Cup for Team World and also making the semifinals of the US Open or maybe Kasparud can further prove that he can play on hardcourts by making a run here. Let me know down in the comments below who do you think is going to win this event.
