Dubai: the draw

This week, Roger will play the tournament in Dubai, seeking a sixth title there.

Roger will open against Malek Jaziri (ATP 128). In the second round, Roger could play Spain's Marcel Granollers or Albert Montanes. In the quarters, our champ could challenge France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and in the semis, a meeting with Tomas Berdych, who beat him at Wimbledon in 2010 and at the US Open last year, is possible. Novak Djokovic is in the other half of the draw, seeded as no. 1.

"I've had an incredible run here over the years but I have got to be really focused and confident about my own form and hope to start well", Roger said.
