When I initially posted odds for Indian Wells, the qualifiers weren’t placed. In the space of a couple days, the draw was filled out, and then most of the qualifiers were gone. Frederico Gil, Marinko Matosevic, and Andrey Golubev got from qualifying to the second round, but they faced other qualifiers in the first round. The only other qualifying survivor was Matthew Ebden, who advanced past the always-beatable Igor Kunitsyn.
With the big names, little has changed–after all, the top 32 have yet to play a match. The simulation is just a little more nuanced, now that the actual rating of each player is included.
