MIAMI DRAW

World number one Roger Federer could have a tricky time at the ATP Masters Series event that begins here on Wednesday .

Swiss star Federer jumps back onto the court after an upset semi-final loss to American Mardy Fish last weekend at Indian Wells, California.

Federer, seeking his first title of 2008, has a first-round bye and will then face France's Gael Monfils or US wild card John Isner, whose serve power tested Federer in a 6-7 (4/7), 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 third-round victory on his way to last year's US Open crown.

Federer could meet Australian Lleyton Hewitt in the fourth round of the 3.7 million-dollar hardcourt event, American Andy Roddick or France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarter-finals and Russian Nikolay Davydenko in the semi-finals.

Following Federer on the seed list are reigning French Open champion Rafael Nadal of Spain and reigning Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia, who beat Fish in Sunday's Indian Wells final.

Nadal faces either Argentina's Sergio Roitman or a qualifier in his round two opener. Djokovic would meet a qualifier or Argentina's Agustin Calleri.

Next among the seeds are Davydenko, Spain's David Ferrer, Roddick at sixth, Argentina's David Nalbandian and France's Richard Gasquet.
