I put in two options because I believe that Djokovic is such a prohibitive favorite that we should have WHO WIN and WHO HAS THE SECOND BEST CHANCE.
You beat me to posting this explanation.
I did not think of posting the poll in a different phrasing.

I do not think Djokovic is a lock, but obviously picking anyone else would make no sense given on only choice, so I like the idea of picking two.

Medvedev has not shown much since blowing the two-set lead in last year's final, but if Djokovic's hamstring injury proves to be a hindrance or some other injury crops up, I can't see anyone else but Medvedev who is capable of winning seven matches.

If the injury flares up, sure. But that is a given for everybody.
I went by elimination: do I see any of the other top 10 players getting this? And I can't.
So it is Novak or OTHER. I hope Mr. Other can do it.

I may have fired up a betting app for the first time in a while (once the draw came out) out of curiosity to see what the odds were for the tournament.
FanDuel has a "big guns vs the field" - in which they have a bet you can pick two top players (that they specify) or the remaining 126.

Interestingly, albeit not surprisingly, Djokovic / Medvedev would actually return under 1:1 odds. Swiatek / jabeur would return a positive multiple on your investment.

Does anyone remember which half of the men's draw plays on Day 1? Since it changes with each major, I haven't learn to keep track of what each major does for Day 1.

top half for both draws

You can print from this site, Ashkor.
At the bottom of the page you have a little hammer, that are the tools. You have two print layouts.
They will give you an output, and then you can print from your browser facility.

It's a wrench.

Now that Nadal is gone, Medvedev's chances look a bit brighter..the court is quite quick, will suit him and Sinner too..Djokovic should still win but...
