Fernando Verdasco is the top seed. The Spaniard, ninth in the ATP World Rankings, is the SAP Open defending champion. He’s played twice in 2011. Verdasco got off to a rocky start, losing in the first round to Benjamin Becker at the Brisbane International. He looked sharper at the Australian Open, winning his first three matches before falling in the fourth round to Tomas Berdych.
With Verdasco already proving himself in last year’s SAP Open, he’s as good a bet as any to take care of business this week. He’ll face Wild Card entrant Ram Rajeev in the first round. Rajeev, an American, is ranked No. 188 in the world.
Gael Monfils is the second seed in the tournament. The Frenchman is ranked 12th in the ATP World Rankings. Just 24 years old, Monfils will be searching for his fourth career victory. He got off to a rocky start at the Australian Open, winning in the first two rounds before losing to Stanislas Wawrinka.
Monfils also drew a Wild Card entrant in the first round, though his opponent could prove much more interesting than Verdasco’s. Monfils will face Stanford junior Bradley Klahn, the 2010 NCAA singles champion.
Sam Querrey rounds out the tournament’s top contenders as the third seed at the SAP Open. The American won four tourneys last season and will be gunning for his first of 2011. The SAP will be his third appearance of the season. Querrey is still searching for his first winning match of the year; he lost in the first round to Lukasz Kubot at the Australian Open and in the second round (after enjoying a bye) to Alexandr Dolgopolov at the Medibank International.
