Ben Johns and Collin Johns Face Tough Challenges: The Zimmer Biomet Masters is underway, featuring a highly competitive men’s doubles draw. The top-seeded team of Ben Johns and Collin Johns returns to defend their title, but they will face tough challenges. With the depth of the draw, there are no easy matches, making for an exciting tournament.
Top Seeds Facing Tough Challenges
The Johns brothers are the top seeds and will need to perform at their best. They could encounter #14 seed Donald Young and Travis Rettenmaier in the round of 16.
Young is poised for a breakout year in 2025, and Rettenmaier has shown solid performance. Fans are eager to see if the brothers can navigate this challenging path to the finals.
Strong Contenders in the Draw
The second seed goes to Hayden Patriquin and Federico Staksrud. They ended 2024 on a high note, and many expect them to continue their success in 2025. Meanwhile, the #3 seed, Dylan Frazier and Pablo Tellez, have a new partnership that may face challenges.
Tellez is versatile, but Frazier’s play on the left has been inconsistent. They are likely to meet #13 seed Julian Arnold and Hunter Johnson, who is considered a breakout player this year.
The #4 seed, JW Johnson and Gabe Tardio, are being hailed as the most promising new partnership in the tournament. The steady duo of Tyson McGuffin and Dekel Bar hold the fifth seed and will be a formidable opponent.
At #6, Christian Alshon and Andrei Daescu present a unique pairing. Daescu ended 2024 strongly, while Alshon is known for his top-tier skills when healthy.
Potential Drama in Early Matches
The seventh seed is Matt Wright and Quang Duong, an intriguing pairing likely to face #10 seed James Ignatowich and CJ Klinger in the round of 16.
Wright and Ignatowich ended 2024 on a low note after losing badly to McGuffin and Daescu at the PPA Finals. The emotional tension could add excitement to their potential matchup.
