Ok i know i've been blogging a lot about tennis lately, but it's only becoz the end of the season is near. The women's WTA tour is done for 2008, and the Masters Cup this week will wrap up the men's season. (excluding the Davis cup final)
The Masters Cup has a similar format to the WTA Championships... The round robin groupings are:
RED GROUP
Roger Federer
Andy Murray
Andy Roddick
Gilles Simon
GOLD GROUP
Novak Djokovic
Nikolay Davydenko
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Juan Martin del Potro
World no.1 Rafael Nadal is a significant absentee, he's not playing due to injury.
Some round robin matches hav been played.. I watched a bit and I feel that Federer is holding back a little... Maybe he is still nursing his injury, so he's trying to take it easy.
In the Gold Group, Djokovic has already been assured a semi final spot, having won 2 tough matches against del Potro and Davydenko. I noticed Davydenko was playing well too. Tsonga and del Potro just lack the experience playing in the big stage.
In the Red Group, Gilles Simon defeated Federer (the 2nd time this year!)... I still believe Federer is going to pull through somehow and make it to the semis... I would also expect Andy Murray to get through. He has been playing really well for the past few months.
Predictions?
Djokovic will top the Gold Group with Davydenko as second, while Murray will top the Red Group with Federer second. Just my guess...
We will see whether i'm right... btw Bio paper tomorrow!! I still have 3 more chapters to finish.. Better get going now =)
