We can use this thread to discuss the happenings of the ATP/WTA tours all year. For those like me, who like to keep up with other events than the grand slam, the new season kicks off today.

I predict same old same old of the big 4 murray nadal and federer, with a little djokovic (douche)

1/3/2009 7:12:13 PM

Murray beat Nadal in Abu Dhabi final today

1/3/2009 7:16:14 PM

yeah

they had a nice exhibition tourney (no atp pts) and nadal beat davydenko before losing today.

I expect some of the stars will play in a couple of tuneups before the aussie open

judging by recent results...Aussie Open, Davis Cup, now this tourny, James Blake's career appears to be in a free fall

wow never saw this thread before. excellent

i still have faith in that american we call roddick...
he will have a whole season now to find rhythm and a new strategy in being thinner and in better shape

i dont think roddick will ever get "there" in terms of winning grand slams. he's tried basically everything... new coach, new strategy, new Lacoste clothing...his style just gets beat by the players with finesse in their game (mainly all the euro's)

3/30/2009 2:55:11 PM

i agree

3/30/2009 2:57:38 PM

Sonny Ericsson Open
ATP Main Draw Singles - Fourth Round

[1] R Nadal (ESP) d [16] S Wawrinka (SUI) 76(2) 76(4)
[2] R Federer (SUI) d [Q] T Dent (USA) 63 62
[3] N Djokovic (SRB) d [21] T Berdych (CZE) 63 62
[4] A Murray (GBR) d V Troicki (SRB) 61 60
[5] A Roddick (USA) d [9] G Monfils (FRA) 76(2) 64
[6] J Del Potro (ARG) d [11] D Ferrer (ESP) 63 62
[10] J Tsonga (FRA) d [7] G Simon (FRA) 67(4) 63 62
[8] F Verdasco (ESP) d [18] R Stepanek (CZE) 62 62


Roddick will play Federer in what i think is the quarters. It should be on FSN between 9 and 11.

from what i have seen out of roddick, i see him flaming out in this next round

4/1/2009 10:53:33 AM

I still like andy though, becuase he ALWAYS shows up in Davis Cup. He is a different player (he even competes on clay--took nadal to 4/5 sets twice, in Spain)

4/1/2009 1:12:57 PM

federer really needs to pull out wimbledon this year if he wants to be the best of all time

4/1/2009 2:58:21 PM

atp is in rome

semi's are:

Federer vs. Djokovic

Nadal vs. Gonzalez

Rome is a clay tournament, so you know the routine

5/1/2009 6:42:00 PM

Djokovic and Nadal advance to the finals in Rome

5/2/2009 4:33:41 PM

Nadal takes it

5/3/2009 12:51:04 PM

right up the ass

5/3/2009 1:41:11 PM
