The Tata Open in Pune, India, is an ATP 250-level tournament which means that it is the third tier of professional men's tennis tournaments in terms of ranking points and prize money.
The draw for the 2023 Tata Open, which will be held from January 2-7, features 28 players in the main singles draw as the top four seeded players received a bye. Joao Sousa is the last year's champion but he didn't travel to India this year to defend his title.
The top seed for the tournament is Marin Cilic, a former Grand Slam champion and one of the top players in the world. Cilic has a bye in the first round and will face the winner of the match between two Spaniards Roberto Carballes Baena and Bernabe Zapata Miralles in the second round.
The second seed for the tournament is Botic van de Zandschulp, who also has a bye in the first round. He will face the winner of the match between Mukund Sasikumar and Flavio Cobolli in the second round.
Other notable players in the draw include Marco Cecchinato, Nikoloz Basilashvili, Tallon Griekspoor, and Jaume Munar. The fourth seed for the tournament is Sebastian Baez, and the fifth and sixth seeds are Alex Molcan and Filip Krajinovic, respectively.
It will be interesting to see how these top seeds fare in the tournament and if any upsets occur in the early rounds. The draw also features a mix of experienced players and up-and-coming talent, making for an exciting and competitive tournament that should also serve as a warm-up before the first Grand Slam of the season.
