IWSP Men's Day 9 (Fri) Pick

[shtexas]

Welcome James7 to Day 9 of the Men's BNP Paribas at Indian Wells Suicide Pool.

Your Day 9 Men's choice is from the two quarterfinal matches from the BOTTOM half of the Men's draw. As always, you will be making one pick each day, and once you use a player, you cannot use them again for the remainder of the tournament.

Post your Day 9 Men's selection by responding in this thread. Since the Indian Wells (and Miami) games are both "practice" pools, we will not keep a formal Picks and Results thread, so it is your responsibility to self-score your way through the tournament. We encourage you to do this by listing all your previous picks in your post for each day (simply cut and paste from the day before), as this has proven the best way to track your picks from our experience.

Your Day 9 Men's Pick is due no later than 11:00 a.m. (PT) on Friday, March 16 - that is 2:00 p.m. East Coast time

Good luck!
