Men's doubles drawFavorites #1 Bryan brothers are in the top half, and the #2 seeds Peya/Soares are in the bottom half.
8 out of the top 10 seeded Singles players are playing doubles at Indian Wells.Top Half#6 Del Potro/Cilic
#9 Tsonga/Mahut
Bottom Half#2 Djokovic/Krainovic
#3 Wawrinka/#7 Federer#5 Andy Murray, OBE /Marray
#8 Gasquet/Erlich
#10 Raonic/Gulbis
Only the #1 seed Rafael Nadal and #4 Tomas Berdych are not playing doubles. I guess Marc Lopez couldn't convince Rafa to play, and Stepanek is playing with Paes instead of Berdych

The Swiss, French, British, and Italian pairs may be looking to get some matches in for the all important Davis Cup QF preparations (Apr 4-6).
Other notable normal singles player pairings:
Isner/Querrey
Fognini/Seppi
Verdasco/Marrero
