The first task is just as difficult: It goes against Grigor Dimitrov, who last made it to the semifinals in Indian Wells. It won't be easy for number foureither, Casper Ruud : The Norwegian opens against Lloyd Harris.

In another hit, Gael Monfils and the Italian youngster Lorenzo Musetti meet at the beginning. Andy Murray has to play against Hubert Hurkacz at the beginning.
