I think NIshi has a great chance in Brisbane and am picking him as well. Great draw for him.
Djoko for Doha.
In Chennai I’ll go with Cilic, due to his past success there and pretty good form in the latter half of 2016.
I’ve got Rafa, Nole and Cilic. I watched the Rafa-Milos match the other day and Rafa seems like he’s in real good form. I think the Nole-Andy match will be huge in Doha. Nole needs to re-establish himself as the man right off the bat.
