Dubai rarely takes a backseat to anything going on at the same time, but that will certainly be the case in 2018. Acapulco is the best of the trio—and it isn’t even close.

With the Australian Open just one week away, Jack Sock is defending his Auckland title and is joined in a strong field by Juan Martin Del Potro, Sam Querrey, John Isner, and Roberto Bautista Agut. A less impressive Sydney draw features 2017 title winner Gilles Muller.
