Feliciano Lopez and Yen-Hsun Lu compete as the top two seeds as the ATP tour heads to South Africa, with young up-and-comer Milos Raonic fighting for the title.
The field at the SA Tennis Open suffers from its placement directly after the Australian Open. The seeds include South Africa's own Kevin Anderson, who snagged a No. 4 seeding at the tournament but is the world No. 56.
Fortunately for the tournament, young Canadian Milos Raonic came through qualifying to get in the main draw. The Canadian made big news at the Australian Open with big wins over Michael Llodra and Mikhail Youzhny before going out to David Ferrer in the round of 16.
The draw is pretty well wide open. Everyone from Janko Tipsarevic to Feliciano Lopez to Raonic will have a chance to snag a tour title.

I was being diplomatic. And I didn't say Lalo was modest, I said the FIELD was modest. :D

I have to admit, it's slim pickins'. Though my new favorite Milos Raonic is there to save the day!

My new fave.... high irony for you, considering he consciously patterns his game and demeanor after a certain retiree/robot you never liked. AT ALL. :D

Modest field? Surely that is a typo.
