Men’s Draw: The Road to the Title

With Jannik Sinner absent due to a doping suspension, German star Alexander Zverev steps in as the top seed in the Masters 1000 tournament. 

 

Benefiting from a first-round bye, Zverev will make his debut against either Benjamin Bonzi or a qualifier. 

 

The path ahead could bring intriguing matchups: a potential third-round encounter with Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard

 

A fourth-round clash with either Arthur Fils or Frances Tiafoe, and a possible quarterfinal showdown against either Holger Rune or Jack Draper.

 

If he advances to the semifinals, Zverev might face formidable opponents like Taylor Fritz, Andrey Rublev, Alex de Miñaur, or Ben Shelton.

 

Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz, the second seed, headlines the bottom half of the draw. 

 

Like Zverev, he received a first-round bye and will begin his campaign against Aleksandar Vukic or David Goffin.

Women’s Draw: A Clash of Titans

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka leads the charge in the top section of the WTA 1000 event. 

 

After skipping the first round, she will face either Viktoriya Tomova or Caty McNally in her opening match. 

 

If she advances, she might encounter Magdalena Frech in the third round, followed by a fourth-round duel with Danielle Collins or Donna Vekic. 

 

The quarterfinals could present a stern test against Elena Rybakina or Qinwen Zheng, while the semifinals could bring a high-stakes matchup against Coco Gauff or Jasmine Paolini.
