Heading to IW a week from today. Will get to see the entire men's tourney from the round of 16 through the final, and will catch a few WTA matches as well, including the semis and final. I can't wait. We went back in 2015 and it really is an awesome tournament and venue.

Seems like it's pretty wide open this year on the men's side. Despite his loss to Kyrgios in Acapulco, Djoker looks to be back in pretty strong form and obviously he always plays well in IW. Murray obviously is in form as well but he has not done well in IW over the past 5-6 years. I believe his best result was the semis in 2015 when he got smoked by Djok 6-4, 6-0.

Fed always plays well in IW and could make a run, same goes with Rafa. Stan similar to Andy has struggled in IW. Raonic had recent success but he's now withdrawn.

I think we could see a few next gen players make some deep runs this year. Wouldn't be surprised to see Zverev make some noise (should have beaten Rafa last year but had an epic miss on a put away volley).

Should be an awesome tournament.

I'm so jelly. I also went two years ago and saw some quarters/semis as well as dubs. Beautiful venue, a level above Toronto/Cincy.

I have this feeling Roger blew his wad and is going to fall off a bit. No idea what is going on with Djok. Murray has a lock on number one until late in the year just based on the points from late 2016. I want to see Delpo make a run at these tournaments where he can gain a lot of points. Time for the young guns to step up now.
