Since nobody has created a thread for Doha, might as well create one.

Here's the draw for the tournament:

Looking at draw, both Djokovic and Nadal should able to reach the finals assuming they play well enough.

Is Novak well enough to play? I haven't seen word that he's pulled out, but his withdrawal from the final in Abu Dhabi doesn't bode well.

As for Rafa, who knows? I could see him lose early to Dodig, and I could see him win the whole thing. Who knows. Match practice, baby. That's what it's all about right now for him, IMO. :)

I see that Rafa's missus is down under, which should keep Jim Courier happy, if not Rafa himself... :popcorn

Novak pulled out of the Murray match due to fever. So, in theory, it shouldn't keep him out of Doha.

If it's anything like the fever I've been experiencing lately, it will, but for his sake I hope it's different.

You can put to bed the idea that Novak might pull out, he has already played in doubles in R1.
