The Sony Ericsson Open offers an impressive field of competitors, and the usual names will be atop men’s tennis betting odds once things get underway.
Novak Djokovic should be at the center of attention after an absolutely blistering start to the 2011 season. The Serbian has played in three tournaments this season and won all three, including a victory at the Australian Open. Djokovic also won last week’s Paribas Open, getting past Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal along the way. Djokovic hasn’t just been good—he’s been absolutely dominant. The world’s No. 2-ranked player has lost just five sets all season.
Nadal is still searching for his first tournament victory of the season. He came closest in the Paribas before getting ousted 6-4, 3-6, 2-6 by the red-hot Djokovic. The Spaniard also has quarterfinal and semifinal appearances this season, plus a pair of wins in the first-round of the Davis Cup, so he’s been hovering in contention. Nadal is due for a breakthrough.
Federer was knocked out in the Paribas semifinals by Djokovic, and it’s probably safe to say he’s getting awfully sick of his Serbian rival. Federer won the Qatar Open earlier this year and reached the semis, final, and semis of three other tournaments—and was ousted by Djokovic every time. The Swiss has firmly established himself in his own tier ahead of just about everybody, but behind Djokovic.
Andy Roddick will be back to defend his Sony Ericsson title. The American has already enjoyed some solid success this season, including a win at the Morgan Keegan Championships and a loss in the final at the Brisbane International. Roddick was very disappointing in his last tournament, though, getting bounced by Richard Gasquet in the fourth round of the Paribas Open.
