Great this thread was finally made :)

Djokovic is probably the favourite, but I'm not sure he wants to use too much energy on non-Grand-Slams anymore though. I'm afraid Federer still has a chance, and I would count Nadal almost out, as I believe he also wants to save energy, just for the Clay Season. I wouldn't be suprised if Nishikori ended up with a fairly easy draw and won it.

But Opelka must be favourite.

If Djoker will win this year's IW, then:
- he will gain the 6th title from IW and will again be the independent record holder of the tournament
- profit 33th Masters title equals Nadal
- he create point cushion to Keep No. 1 in the second half of the season, if one of the last year's titles will not successfully defends

These reasons will motivate him to win again the Indian Wells Masters :)

As long as he beats Federer, I'd be very glad he won it

He would be motivate to fill some random paper numbers so that fans could jerk on his records? This is wrong on so many levels. Not to mention that Djokovic himself is trying to show people how to live with more inner peace, not chasing those of kind of things. But you completely ignore his personality and possibly consider him "strange" and just collect the wiki numbers, right?

Nadal's wins have come in 2007, 2009, 2013. There is a pattern. 2007, +2, ,+4.
So next comes +6, i.e. 2019.

Djokovic of course (unless he's off-form for some reason but that has never yet been the case at IW, one of his favourite and most successful events).

Now that Fed has th #4 seed, it's big question is where he'll land in the draw.

Djokovic is the huge ****off favorite for this title.

Rest of the top 10 is either not there, in questionable form, or gassed.

Here is Kyrios warming up. Looks like he is ready to win the Indian wells too. Looks like he is motivated in this too


Looking forward to seeing how he will do there. Which Nick is going to show up: Acapulco Nick or Delray Nick? Hopefully the former.

I'm picking Djokovic also. I hope Federer will land in the Nadal part of the draw so that we could get another classic final between these 2. I also hope my boys Shapovalov and FAA will make some noise here.

Novak is and easy pick, but he's on fire in big events and well rested.
Djokovic's last 3 big events:
2018 Paris = lost to Khachanov
2018 London = lost to Zverev
2019 Australian Open = won :)

Kind of incredible that, since 2004 (15 years ago), only Ljubicic (2010) and Delpo (2018) won a title here other than these three.

Their collective dominance just continues to astound me.

Doesn't he top the qualifying seeds? Qualifiers aren't listed in the OP.
All of the alternates listed are seeds lower than Albot so he is an alternate lower than them and gained top seed from his recent points bonanza. Same for Londero (#2 seed). Ivashka and Rublev went the opposite direction, being #1 and #4 alternates but seeded #10 and #14.

does anyone have the link to the mens qualifying draw?
Nothing yet other than the listed seeds (24) subject to change due to possible promotions to DE. Albot tops the list I’ve seen (Wiki) but his name isn’t in the lists in OP. @Enceladus ???
On the wiki-link you will find, besides the men's main draw, also a men's qualifying draw, which is located in the bottom of the page.

Djokovic is defending ATP 10 ranking Points and was ATP ranked 10 last year, Nadal can gain points with any win, Federer is defending 600 points, this is the 1st half of the sunshine double.

I know that for Novak is family life is bigger priority than tennis. I know he has limited his tournament schedule - he misses Beijing last year, he will not play in Monte Carlo this year. But that doesn't mean, that Nole at the result in the IW will not matter. In addition, IW is one of his favorite tournament where he feels very well.
