On Monday, the draw was made for the first ATP Masters 1000 of the season, which begins Wednesday in California and has seen many and resounding absences.
However, two of the biggest names in men’s tennis, who were absent last week through injury, are returning to the tour.
The reason for Carlos Alcarath and Stefano Tsitsipas, who missed out on Acapulco’s Abierto Mexicano and are now ready to get back into action by occupying both ends of the board at the BNP Paribas Open.
Stefanos Tsitsipas, the No. 2 on the board, awaits action at the ’64’ stage for the winner of the Monfis-Johnson matchup with the 36-year-old Frenchman, who has fallen to world No. 210 of the protected Ranking, competing for the first time after Rogers Cup 2022, before that from 8 months.
In the 3rd round, the Greek champion will face the No. 32 on the board, Maxim Kresi, while in the “16” he will likely face one of the 14-Tiafos or 21-Dimitrov.
In Stefanos’ quarter there are 6-Rublev, 10-Nori, 20-Berettini and 25-Shapovalov, with the most likely opponent in the quarterfinals being the Russian or the left-handed Briton.
In the bottom half of the table is the most in-form tennis player in the world, Daniil Medvedev, who has 14 straight wins and three consecutive titles in Rotterdam, Doha and Dubai.
The Russian, No. 5 on the board, will have a difficult debut against one of Isner-Nakashima while crossing in the ’16’ with Alexander Zverev ahead of a possible appointment in the ‘8’ with one of Ruud-Khachanov.
The top of the board is teeming with talent and youth, with Carlos Alcarath holding a favorable draw up to the “8” where he meets Aliasim or Hurkacs, while the presence of No. 4 on the board and defending champion Taylor Fritz, who crosses in the “16” with Alex de Minor and with Holger Rune in “8”.
The distinction is in Sakkari’s hands
Unlike the men’s draw, which has many and significant losses, the BNP Paribas Open women’s draw features 32 of the top 35 tennis players in the world, including champion and world No. 1 Iga Sfiodek.
The 32 tennis players in the main draw have a bye in the 1st round and start their service from the “64” phase.
Seated at #7 on the board, Maria Sakkari awaits in the 2nd round for the American Civil War winner between Shelby Rogers (#41) and wildcard Katie Volinetz (#74).
In Round 3, Greek champion crosses paths with No. 27 Angelina Kalinina, not excluding the possibility that she will eventually meet women’s tennis prodigy, 17-year-old Linda Frukhvirtova.
As long as everything is going well for 27-year-old Sakkari, in the “16” she will be waiting for one of the 17-Pliskova or 11-Kundermetova, while in the 8-crosses with 3-Jessica Pegula and 16-Petra Kvitova.
Also at the bottom of the table are 2-Arina Sabalenka, 6-Corey Goff, 9-Belinda Bencic and 16-Barbora Krejcikova.
Standing out at the top is the name of the world’s leading tennis player, Iga Sfiodek, who faces a difficult 3rd round if the appointment with the ever-dangerous 32-year-old Bianca Andrescu is confirmed.
In the 8th seed, Sfiodek crosses paths with 5-Caroline Garcia, while 4-Ons Zambert, 8-Daria Kasatkina and 14-Victoria Azarenka also sit at the top of the table.

Elina Svitolina (WTA 12) will face Mirra Andreeva (WTA 7) in the fourth round of the Australian Open on January 25.
The match is scheduled to start at 12:00 Kyiv time.
Sport.ua together with a betting partner bet announcing the upcoming fight!
Elina Svitolina
The Ukrainian athlete started this season brilliantly and currently has a streak of eight wins in official tournaments. Svitolina has already won the title in Auckland but she needs to perform well at the majors.
In the first round, the athlete defeated Spaniard Krystyna Buksha with scores of 6:4, 6:1, then defeated the young Polish player Linda Klimovichova with scores of 7:5, 6:1. The most difficult was the last match against the “neutral” Diana Schneider – 7:6, 6:3, in this match there were up to nine breaks. Svitolina won the last fight with her experience, made a little less mistakes, won a little more and finally put the finishing touches on her opponent.
The best performance at the Australian Open was in the quarter-finals; This was achieved three times, thus putting the tennis player one step away from repeating his personal best. If successful, Elina will compete with the winner of the Gauff-Mukhova pairing.
Mirra Andreeva
The “neutral” team also starts the season well but rarely behaves with dignity on the field. Andreeva reached the quarter-finals in Brisbane, where she deservedly lost to Marta Kostyuk in two sets. Later, the athlete managed to win the championship in Adelaide, beating Canadian Mboko in the final.
The tennis player is 18 years old and is not bothered by his busy schedule. Despite its place in the top 10, it lacks emotional stability. Andreeva started this tournament with a tough win against Donna Vekic – 4:6, 6:3, 6:0, then beat Greek Maria Sakkari 6:4, 6:0 and in the last match she beat Romanian Elena-Gabriela Ruse 6:3, 6:4. At the Australian Major the neutral team never advanced beyond the fourth round.
personal meetings
The tennis players played each other only once; The match took place in the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells tournament in March last year. Andreeva then won with scores of 7:5 and 6:3.
To guess
Bookmakers give a slight advantage to the “neutral”, which is explained by the fact that it is higher in the rankings and is also 13 years younger. Svitolina’s motivation will be very high in such a match.
I don’t think the winner will be determined quickly, so I’m betting on 1.76 out of 21.5 games in total.
