Nick Kyrgios’ BNP Paribas Open is over before it began. The 20th-ranked Aussie has officially withdrawn from this year's BNP Paribas Open due to a lingering right elbow injury.
Rafael Nadal is out. So, too, is Andy Murray. Stan Wawrinka, David Goffin, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Richard Gasquet are also on the sidelines. But Novak Djokovic is back, Kei Nishikori is continuing his return to tennis, and Milos Raonic is also making a rare appearance on tour.
ATP Tennis World No. 2 Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the 2018 BNP Paribas Open due to a right hip injury.
Stan Wawrinka is out of both the BNP Paribas Open and the Miami Open, he announced on Thursday. It is an unsurprising--and probably smart--move for the 32-year-old Swiss, who has not appeared to be ready for the rigors of a Masters 1000 tournament--and certainly not two in a row.
Rarely is Dubai overshadowed by anything going on at the same time, but that will certainly be the case this time around. February's final week features Acapulco as the best of the trio—and it isn’t even close.
Roger Federer is returning to Rotterdam—and could regain the world No. 1 ranking with a semifinal run. The Australian Open champion has accepted a wild card into next week's ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament, which begins on Monday.
I’m a Federer guy. There, I said it. Rafa could marry my daughter (please?)—but I cannot cheer for him. I even cheered for Federer over Roddick in their epic Wimbledon final in 2009. All those wins Rafa had over Fed = Brutal.
I sunk my teeth into the AO really for the 1st time last night. What with the extreme time difference here in NY, plus my teaching schedule, I didn’t get a chance to watch too much of the tennis, so, while following all the results (on 10sBalls_com of course), I didn’t get much of a feel yet for the tournament.

The 2018 Australian Open draw ceremony was held on Thursday night at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena. It was less chaotic than it might if been Andy Murray and Kei Nishikori had not withdrawn from the men's field, but there was still plenty of intrigue with several players seeded lower than usual due to injury-plagued inactivity.
Rafael Nadal made his debut at the 2018 Priceline Pharmacy Kooyong Classic on Tuesday and left the court in good spirits without appearing to aggravate a recent knee injury during his defeat to Richard Gasquet.
The upcoming Australian Open has already been plagued by a few withdrawals and it could be especially chaotic with once-injured top players seeded lower than they should be due to unusually low rankings, but 2018's first Grand Slam got a boost on Tuesday with positive news from both Rafael Nadal and Stan Wawrinka.

No one could have anticipated Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer to finish No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in the ATP World Tour rankings at the end of 2017--and with a lot of room to spare, too.
