 Welcome back to tennis talk. My name's Cam Williams and we have the Sophia open happening this week at indoor hardcore tournament Sort of ran out of season. We're starting to go into the European indoor hardcourts Of course the adb finals is coming up very very soon, which is on an indoor hardcore as well So a lot of names are playing in this one as well Some big names are playing but some names are pulled out as well. So let's go to the withdrawal list So only a couple of names are pulled out of this one. We have Batista a guru He's pulled out of this one Chilich also pulled out and McDonald has also withdrawn from this event So starting at the top of the drawer and we've got eight seeds in this one with the top four seeds getting a buy in the first round Yannick Sinner the number one seed getting a buy in the first round He's also the defending champion. He won this tournament at the end of last season He awaits the winner of a qualifier versus posmasoul We're going at it in the first round then we got Russell Vorey versus Duckworth winner of that match takes on either Number seven seed for Keener who are going at it in the first round then we've got number four seed public He gets a buy in the first round He awaits the winner of the wild card Kuzmenov or Museti who are going at it in the first round Then we've got a qualifier versus Jera winner that match takes on either the wild card Lazarov or the number five seed Kriyanovic in the second round So the players that I'm watching out for in this one obviously keeping an eye on Yannick Sinner Defending champion of this event and really loves playing at the end of the year He loves playing at the end of the season He's had some big wins in his career towards the end of the year Let's see how the pressures of being the defending champion affect him in this tournament also public Got to keep an eye on him He doesn't mind playing on indoor hardcourt either and also Kriyanovic Keep an eye on him because he's done well on indoor hardcourts in Europe in the past made the final of the Paris indoors Couple of years ago, so keeping an eye on Kriyanovic as well during this week going to the bottom half of the draw now And we've got the number eight seed Milman he takes on Ema in the first round Winner of that match is going to play a qualifier in the second round no matter what because we've got two qualies Going at it in the first round then we've got Mouner versus Giron winner of that match takes on the number three seed Diminor who gets a buy in the first round then we got the number six seed Manorino He takes on Maga the wild card in the first round winner of that match will take on either Kichmenovic Or the wild card Andreyev in the second round that we've got a Vasika versus Anduha winner of that match takes on the number two seed Monfice in the second round the players that we're watching out for in this one got to keep an eye on the two big names and the Two big seeds Monfice hasn't had the greatest season in 2021 But he did make a semifinal last week on an indoor hardcourt in France So he's in a little bit of form and also got to keep an eye on Diminor as well He hasn't had the greatest season second half of the season started off on fire at the start of the year So he's looking to regain a little bit of form to finish the year off But also keep an eye on a Vasika. He actually made a semifinal of him tournament last week in Kazakhstan And he's at a career high ranking. He's had a really really good year also when his first title just before the US Open So keep an eye on a Vasika as well He's a dangerous unseated player in this tournament. So there it is the Sophia open and it's been around for a while now The Sophia open it's an indoor hardcourt tournament Of course towards the end of the year as well when all the European hardcourt tournaments are wrapping up the season Let me know down the comments below who's gonna win this one because it doesn't look like there's as big a name as we've used to seeing Of course, Sina being the number one seed. He's gonna be the defending champion How's he gonna deal with that pressure? But other than that anybody could win this tournament It's wide open for me It's an ATP 250 event and those usually bring up some random champions as we've seen over the last couple of weeks So let me know down the comments below. Who do you think's gonna win this one? Taking a look at the draw and it's gonna be very tough for me to pick But I'm gonna go with another four seed bubbly Feel like he's been in a little bit of form the last couple of weeks And I don't mind his chances at this event also had some really good results on indoor hardcourts during the season So I'm gonna go with bubbly as a number four seed to get through and win this one again Let me know down the comments below. Who do you think's gonna win this event? So the Sophia open slowly starting to wrap up the season It's got some names that are actually competing the ATP finals at the end of the year
