Shortly after announcing the battle branches in women's singles, BTC Indian Wells Masters recently continued to announce the draw results of the men's singles. The players will start playing at dawn on October 8, after 1 day female players.
This season, Indian Wells Masters will not have the presence of Big 3 Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Meanwhile, the defending champion Dominic Thiem is also absent due to injury. Therefore, this will be a separate stage for Next Gen -generation players.
Because Djokovic was absent, Daniil Medvedev became the No. 1 seed of the tournament. According to the draw results, the Russian tennis player is located in branch 1. This is considered a relatively easy branch.
After resting in the first round, Medvedev will face the winner of the Mackenzie McDonald / James Duckworth in the second round. If winning, the world's No. 2 player will likely encounter the No. 27 Filip Krajinovic seed in the third round.
On the next journey, the potential rivals of Medvedev are Grigor Dimitrov (round 4), Hubert Hurkacz (quarterfinals) and Andray Rublev. If present in the final, the world's No. 2 player will probably meet Stefanos Tsitsipas or Alexander Zverev.
According to the draw results, these two players were in the relatively difficult branch. If you want to meet Tsitsipas in the semi -finals, Zverev will have to overcome players like Andy Murray, Gael Monfils or Matteo Berrettini. Meanwhile, the Greek player can meet Fabio Fognini in the third round, Cristian Garin in round 4 or Felix Auger Aliassime in the quarterfinals.
At Indian Wells Masters, the application will include 96 players participating in the competition. In particular, 32 players are ranked seeds. All 32 names will be exempted from the first round. In the men's singles, Daniil Medvedev is the No. 1 candidate for the championship, while Emma Raducanu is the character that attracts the most attention in the women's application after the US Open 2021 championship.
