We are less than two weeks away from the start of the ATP season and–as usual–it will begin with a bang. The 2018 campaign is opening in Brisbane, Doha, and with a new event in Pune, India (formerly in Chennai). Although just half of the top 10 is competing, the lineup is exponentially more impressive than that number suggests. Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Kei Nishikori, Milos Raonic, and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga–all staples of the top 10 at one point–are taking part in one of the three tournaments.
Rafael Nadal is joined at the Brisbane International by Murray, Nishikori, Raonic, Grigor Dimitrov, and Nick Kyrgios.
At the Qatar ExxonMobil Open, Dominic Thiem is slated to be the top seed ahead of Pablo Carreno Busta, Djokovic, Tsonga, and Tomas Berdych.
The inaugural Tata Open Maharashtra will welcome Marin Cilic, Kevin Anderson, and Roberto Bautista Agut.

I literally laughed out loud at seeing Carreno Busta seeded higher than Djokovic.
What’s the story on this new tourney in Pune….is that replacing Chennai?
as the article indicates: yes!
when did Karlovic drop that low?
Can’t wait for the new season to begin! Nole and Sascha Z. about to dominate!
