Poll: Who wins Indian Wells for the men?

[James P]

Last eight in, who wins?

 

[RF-18]

I think Zverev.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Fritz

 

[James P]

Fritz

Hmmm, interesting choice.

 

[Novichok]

Hubert Hurkacz to win the reverse sunshine double?

 

[Hitman]

Zverev or Tsitsipas I think. The slower conditions suit both their games quite well.

 

[Fivehand]

Interesting how this one has played out. I gambled and bought tickets to finals weekend, and there is now a legit potential that no "stars" will even have made it that far

What were you hoping to see match up wise?

Medvedev in final was no lock. This is future of tennis though, no big stars.

 

[Kralingen]

Winner of Tsitsi-Zverev SF should win it all imo.

I do want to see Hurkacz do a sunshine double though just for the absurdity. And if the Tsits-Zed match is a long and tiring one, Hurk might be able to clean up the scraps.

Federer defeat Djokovic in 3 close tiebreaks.

Haha no, but I just assumed Djokovic would be there, but then he withdrew. Then I got a sliver of hope, seeing Andy Murray do well, before his ultimate demise. I wondered if it was time for Rublev to break through, but shocker there too. I thought maybe Karatsev, Shapovalov, Berrettini, Sinner, Khachanov, or Felix might step up, but all are out.

I assume Tsisipas and Zverev will play for a spot in the finals, and the top half is sort of a toss up. I like it, but it's just not how I assumed things would play out. But you know what they say about assumptions...

 

[Fivehand]

And also I kinda figured Meddy would win it all without Djokovic

Yeah, I know....

Bacillus thuringiensis will provide the much needed pest control in the quarters and semis. Sorry to tell you that, mate.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Zverev. He is basically Murray 2.0 - wins tons of masters but sucks in Slams

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Hmmm, interesting choice.

I am loyal to the man

 

[Sudacafan]

As usual, I need some more days to provide the correct answer.

 

[Jonesy]

Zedsipas repeat will decide the winner.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Daniil Medvedev

 

[MeatTornado]

My Norrie pick ain't looking too shabby today

 

[Oval_Solid]

how did medvedev lose?

 

[BeatlesFan]

how did medvedev lose?

Well, he was up a set and 4-1 in the second. Then he completely imploded. He did the same thing a couples years ago at the YEC against Nadal, blowing a huge lead and folding.

 

[goldengate14]

Last eight in, who wins?

Hoping Zverev but conditions suit Tsitsipas much more and he has a massive point to prove

 

[EllieK]

As long as it’s not Basilashvili, I’m fine with it.

 

[DjokoLand]

Even if the conditions suit Tsitsipas better it won’t matter as Zverev is just levels above

 

[goldengate14]

I do agree. Hope Sascha wins if they play

 

[DjokoLand]

I do agree. Hope Sascha wins if they play

Same I hope Sascha wins whoever is in the F. Sascha the last 6 months has been excellent and really is gone up a level

 

[goldengate14]

He is so close to being utterly dominant. If he could just sort that 2nd serve and trust the FH he will be virtually unbeatable on any surface.

 

[aldeayeah]

Hubert Hurkacz to win the reverse sunshine double.

Sunset double?

 

[nolefam_2024]

I am one of the biggest supporter of Zverev but I will have to be honest. He lost to Tsitsipas in RG when he had no business losing. He lost to freaking FAA in downright disgusting performance. And he again failed vs Novak, one of his better losses but still loss. So in 3 slams he didn't even make a final and that means he is not dominant at all. Consistent for sure.

I agree which is why if he solves the two areas i mention i think he turns tjose losses into wins. The FaA loss was terrible

Zverev didn't have any more business losing to old Mediocrevic than to Shankpas. Choked up both matches really.

The promising thing is the last few months he has been consistent and losing to Djokovic in 5 isn’t bad at all. The main thing for Zverev was that not only did he put up a fight against Djokovic but that he made it there.
Since Wimbledon he looks better which is promising. As you mentioned with RG and W he was losing matches he shouldn’t but with the USO he beat who he was expected too and losing to Djokovic taking it too 5 was promising for the future

 

[Third Serve]

I am so hoping it’s gonna be Dimitrov but Zverev is more likely.

 

[TennisManiac]

I'm rooting for Dimitrov

 

[I Am Finnish]

Fedr

 

[Bubcay]

I hope Dimitrov will win, just because he deserves a win, but realistically, probably Zverev...

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

I'm rooting for Dimitrov

Me too.

 

[grinsidetennis]

After the loss of Hurkasz, Tsitsipas is the huge favourite for the title.

 

[EllieK]

My heart says Dimitrov or Cam Norrie but my head says Zverev. Tsitsipas has not looked entirely convincing to me.
