Indian Wells Master " The Draw"

First of all there are two things which tennis fans are looking for are the return of Nadal in action on hard courts and the number two ranking of Federer is on the line at this tournament.  Because, if Andy Murray wins the tournament, he will become no 2 player in the world.  It can also happen if Andy Murray reaches in the final and Federer loses in the semis.  Therefore it would be very interesting.  Now take a brief look on Indian well draw.
Novak Djokovic Half:
Djokovic's may have to face Jo Wilfried Tsonga in the quarterfinals, which would be an interesting match up, because Last year at French open Tsonga could not win even having match points against Djokovic.  If we follow the seedings, there is no real obstacle for no 1 seed. In the semi final he could face his rival Andy Murray who is fallen in his half this time, therefore it can be epic, if they happen to meet in semis.  But if we see history, Andy Murray has not won a single match here since 2010.  Therefore, he did not play in whole of February, to keep his focus on this tournament.  In the way Murray has to face tough test of Juan Martin Del potro. Djokovic is riding 18 match winning streak since his loss at paris masters.  After that he won year ending championship, Australian Open and recently the Dubai open.  So if somehow Andy Murray reaches in the semis, it would be very tough for him to beat Djokovic.
Prediction: Djokovic d Andy Murray
Roger Federer's Half:
Roger Federer has to face the old foes in his draw.  He has to face the ghost of the past.  He can face Julien Bennetau to whome he lost in Rotterdam this year.  He can also face Wawrinka or John Isner in the forth round.  The most interesting early rounds encounter will the Match between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.  Because he has fallen in his Quarter.  It will happen for the first time since 10 year that both will meet before semis in a tournament.  Nadal is back on hard court since last year's Miame masters.  So his early round matches could be very interesting.  In his way he can face American Ryan harrison, Janko Tipserivic.  All are out of form this time, which will be advantageous for Nadal.  Also in this half are David Ferrer and Tomas Berdych.  Who will likely to meet in the quarter finals.  It will be great chance for both of these guys to reach in semis of this tournament for the first time in their carrers.
Prediction: Federer d Tomas Berdych
The Final Prediction;
Federer d Djokovic
