AGAINST A FRIEND AT THE VERY START: Djokovic gets potential rivals at Indian Wells, here’s who stands in his way to the 100th title!

It won’t be easy for Novak Djokovic at Indian Wells, as the draw at this tournament was not favorable to him. The Serbian tennis player, as the sixth seed after a bye in the first round, will play against Nick Kyrgios in the second.

If he overcomes this obstacle, the Serbian tennis player will face Francisco Cerundolo in the third round, and then Alex de Minaur, who would be an obstacle in the round of 16.

However, Djokovic will have his toughest rival in the quarterfinals if everything goes as planned, where Carlos Alcaraz awaits him.

Taylor Fritz is a potential semi-final opponent, while Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev are on the other side of the bracket, meaning he would play against one of them in the final.

The Indian Wells tournament is played from March 5th to 16th.
