Novak Djokovic will be in action for the first time since the loss in the US Open. He was defeated by Daniil Medvedev when he was one step away from the trophy.

Novak has got a bye in the first round and has been drawn to go against Fabio Fognini or Marton Fucsovics in the second round. Novak owns a combined head-to-head advantage of more than ten wins against the two players. This means that he will not be tested too much in this match. Meanwhile, Gael Monfils and Adrian Mannarino could meet in the second round. But Mannarino will first have to defeat Nikoloz Basilashvili, while Monfils will have to overcome a qualifier in his opener.

The British star could then go against Filip Krajinovic or Reilly Opelka in the following round. The match between Opelka and Krajinovic is a good one. This is because both the players have the skills to excel in indoor courts. But Opelka is presently on a losing streak and will be required to play his best tennis to defeat the runner-up of the Paris Masters a few years ago.
Taylor Fritz and Lorenzo Sonego are also in this draw section and will play against each other in the first round. Fritz has been in good touch recently and has a perfect win record against the Italian on indoor courts. The victor of this match will go against the fifth seed Andrey Rublev in the following round. The Russian has got a bye in the first round. Rublev is predicted to be the rival of Novak in the quarterfinals.
