After weeks of 250 events after the Australian Open, next week's men's tennis spotlight will be on Rotterdam, the historic 500 tournament kicks off. A few days ago, the draw table has also been freshly released, let's see the draw for the event.
Sinner, who has been busy since the Australian Open, will be the top seed. In the same period last year, he was runners-up in the final and should be the favourite to win the tournament, with his first-round opponent being Dutchman Van der Shanschup.
The other seeded player in the quarters is Bublik, who won the Tour just last week. Coincidentally, in the first round, it was the Croatian Čurić, who was competing with him in the final at that time.
In addition, former tournament champion and French veteran Monfils and former Grand Slam runner-up Raonic are also in the zone.
The quarter-finals are led by third seed Rune, who will face Saflin, a quarter-finalist at Wimbledon last year. The other seeded player in the zone is Bulgarian handsome Dimitrov, who has reached this week's final in Marseille and will face Italy's Sonego in the first round.
China's Zhang Zhizhen also appeared in this area, and he will play another new voice player Shevchenko in the first round. The latter has renounced Russian citizenship in favor of Kazakh citizenship.
The three-quarters are led by fourth-seeded Hurkacz, who will face Leheca in the first round of last year's Australian Open quarterfinals. Dutch brother Grykspoor faced Musetti; No.7 seed Mtber will face Finland's Rusuvori in the first round; Two former clay Masters runners-up, Monte Carlo's Fokina and Madrid's Struve will compete for a place in qualifying.
The players in this area are of equal strength, and it can be said that every game is a tough battle. Whoever gets a ticket to the Final Four is destined to be difficult.
The final bracket is led by second seed Rublev and is opposite fifth seed De Minaur. I believe everyone still vividly remembers the competition between the two in the quarterfinals of this year's Australian Open, when they played five sets and worked together to bring a visual feast to the fans. Theoretically, the two would meet again in the quarter-finals, but the Australian hare will have to deal with Koda's shock in the first round.
In addition, Aliassime, who managed to pierce the window paper here the year before and eventually won the first title of his career, also appeared in this area.
As the first 500 race of the year, Rotterdam has produced many famous champions in its history, including Federer. Whose turn will it be this year? (*Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye).
