Without Nadal or Djokovic in the men’s draw, and without Barty or Krejcikova in the women’s, A Medvedev-Zverev and Kontaveit-Swiatek finals would be the highest options based on the rankings.

On the one hand, Daniil Medvedev he is the number 1 seed, who escapes the first round and his debut could be against Andy Murray, who received a wild card. Cristian Garín could be the Russian’s rival in the third round, and Roberto Bautista in the fourth. In the quarterfinals, the Pole Hubert Hurkacz could be found.
On the other hand, the Greek Stéfanos Tsitsipas would be the main candidate to advance, a priori, to the semifinals. Altmaier in the second round, De Miñaur in the third, and Carlos Alcaraz would be their possible confrontations. Already in the quarterfinals, the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime would wait.
Thus, the most powerful semifinal taking into account the classifications of the ATP ranking would be a Medvedev-Tsitsipas. That Auger-Aliassime slips in would not be unreasonable.

The finalist of Indian Wells 2022, Mary Sakkari, is the top seed on this side. The Valencian Nuria Párrizas, Keys / Kenin, Pegula / Rybakina would be her possible rivals until the quarterfinals, where Paula Badosa could be her rival.
On the remaining side, the Polish Iga Swiatek She is the favorite to reach the quarterfinals, where she could, a priori, meet Garbiñe Muguruza. Before she would have to overcome Golubic, Samsonova and Gauff.
The semi-final could match a Sakkari-Swiatek, repeating the Indian Wells final. However, the presence of Badosa, Azarenka, Muguruza or Ostapenko should not be ruled out.
