Another 3-2-1??? Yep, Fat Dave make it.

Hey there,
First, it happened 13 years ago by Boris Becker. Second, it just happened August this year by Novak Djokovic. But who would think the third will come only just 2 months later. Fat Dave (David Nalbandian) came to Madrid Masters Series with horrible results this year. Almost lost to 2nd round to Berdych. But in QF, he destroyed Nadal 6-1 6-2. SF, Djokovic is another victim with 4-6, 6-7. In the Final, with an easy 6-1 first set win... Federer lost to Nalbadian 6-1 3-6 3-6.
From No.3 in the world in 2006, this year he fall down to 20s, but now he rise back to 17th with his first Master Series win by defeat all top 3 in one tournament. It is a sign that 2008 maybe not an easy dominance for Federer and Nadal. But Nalbandian and Djokovic are ready to make some noises.
Take care and Enjoy.

The Road to Shanghai (Master Cup)

Hey guys,

Tennis in this season is almost finished. That's mean it's almost the time for Top 8 players in Tennis Master Cup in Shanghai. Right now, there are 5 players who are officially qualified; Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Davydenko, and Roddick. Also 2 more players who are most likely to qualified if there is no miracle; Ferer and Gonzalez. However, the last spot in Shanghai is very interesting right now. Tommy Haas who is in the 8th spot has 329 points right now. But 6 players behind him from no.9-no.14 are extreamly close to him. As follow

No. 8 Haas = 329 points, Robredo 328 points, Blake 327 points, Gasquet 321 points, Berdych 318 points, Moya 316 points, and Ljubicic 315 points. With 2 more tournaments to go anything can happen. From how they play right now, It is difficult to predict that who will get the last spot. However, my prediction is ...... My head says Berdych but I wish Robredo can make it for another year. Let's see the answer in 2 weeks

Right now, enjoy Madrid tournament and I'll write more soon.

Take care

Review Thailand Open 2007

Hey there,
Thailand Open 2007 has already finished 2 days ago. I hope it's not too late to review this. This is a tournament in my country, so I'm very proud of it. Of course I enjoy it too.
At the start of the tournament there are many big names withdrew, such as, Rafa, Novak, Andy, Pim-Pim. These withdraw made the organiser and the crowd quite disappointed, but i'm sure there are some that happy about this. One of these is Dmitry Tursunov, the winner of Thailand Open 2007 by beating Benjamin Becker in the final comfortably 6-2 6-1.
Although a lot of withdraw, I really enjoy this tournament a lot. I took lots of photoes that u guys can check in my facebook. There are some exciting matches, including double final that Thai twins can made their first atp double title.
Hope you guys enjoy tennis. Thanks for reading.... I'll write more soon.
