In the 2010 UNICEF Open, the six top seeds are eliminated before the QF...
The current Champion, B. Becker, is still alive.

In Eastbourne, top seed Almagro retired against Istomin.
I hope Gilles Simon can make it happen in this tournament.

nope. It doesn't work that way.

it's 1-4 and 2-3 OR 1-3 and 2-4

Murray and Nole CAN'T PLAY IN THE SFs.

That's why it doesn't matter much if you're 3 or 4 in the world. Or 1 or 2, for the sake of draws, but of course, the prestige of being the no. 1 it's worth enough. Or even 5-8 (QFs)

Oh yeah, I got the numbers mixed up for Djokovic. I just checked the 2010 RG draw before that, and it was 1-4, 2-3 style. Do they switch it up randomly or something? The draw comes out on friday though, so we will know the potential matchups soon.

nope. It's luck. They draw it every tournament. That's what the little white ballots it's about ;)

the SFs at the Unicef Open are ready:

X. Malisse - Stakhovsky
B. Becker - Tipsarević

the only one of those four without a title is the Serbian (Tipsarevic). Becker is defending the title.

Tennis Expert Picks - Wimbledon 2010

http://espn.go.com/sports/tennis/picks

wow. Awesome reading. Very interesting. Let's see the highlights:
(9 experts)
- 3 went with Roger, 4 with Rafa and... 2 with Roddick!.
- 4 with Serena, 3 with Venus and 2 with Clijsters (pretty tight as well).
- (top 10, early exit): 4 with Davydenko, 2 with Djokovic, 2 with Verdasco. Wow! not much faith in Nole...
- (top 10, early exit): 3 with Wozniacki, 3 with Schiavone. I disagree with Wozzie.
- (sleeper): 3 with Isner, 2 with Querrey, 2 with Berdych.
- (sleeper): 6 with Sharapova

My picks?
(with the head) Rafa, Kim, Verdasco, Jankovic, Querrey, Henin
(with the heart) Roger, Henin, Nole (he can take No. 2 spot from Roger, so...), Jankovic, Querrey, Henin

damn! i'm already excited! ;)

...and people think vuvuzelas are annoying. What a great matchup! :nanner: :rofl2:


So it looks like a Murray vs Nadal SF is a possibility then? Lechepicha gets his wish.
If they get that far.

I can't decide if I give Nadal's bull head logo a thumbsup or a thumbsdown. It sort of looks like bad clipart, I think :mad::dunno: Thoughts?

thumbsup for me :thumbsup:

looks strong and glamorous at the same time, IMO.

Katie Green looks better anyway: :tongue:

My 1/8's:
Serena-Sharapova (wow!)
Kuzzie-Radwańska (interesting)
Wozzie-Azarenka (nice!)
Penetta-Stosur (boring...)
-------------------
Kim-Jojo (battle of the belgians!)
Wickmayer-Jankovic
Schiavone-Bartoli
Safina-Venus (nice match)

the only thing i don't like it's the battle between Kim and Juju. Other than that, it looks pretty exciting.
the only Semifinalist that i see clearly is Wozzie and Venus; the other two are pretty tight...

fuck yeahhhh!!! :thefinger

My 1/8's:
Federer-Melzer (no trouble for The King to make the QFs...)
Berdych-Davydenko
Djokovic-Hewitt (watch it!!! Lleyton could make the surprise here)
Cilic-Roddick (no trouble for Andy)
----------------
Verdasco-Tsonga (boring...)
Querrey-Murray (go Sam!!)
Soderling-Ferrer (no trouble for Robin...)
Isner-Rafa (watch it!)

i guess it would be a Roger-Roddick in the upper half.
but in the second, my guess is Murray (maybe Querrey) against... Soderling ??? that QF between Rafa and Robin it's gonna be amazing...

But Rafa has a very, very, very tough draw: Blake in 2nd round, Gulbis in 3rd, Isner in 4th and Soderling in QF!

On the other hand, Roger has an easy one: Massu in 2nd, Robredo in 3rd, Melzer in 4th. Berdych could do some damage in QF though...

agree. Probably it will be Querrey-Soderling. How about a Grand Slam final for Querrey ??? :eek:

What a crock! The fix is in! Federer and Murray get easy draws...Nadal gets a gauntlet :mad:

Looks like it will be Nadal v Soderling in the Quarters?

nice news, isn't ? :thefinger

only if Rafa can beat Blake, Isner and Gulbis... doesn't sound too easy, right?

and only if Robin can beat Ginepri (he just made the 4th round in Roland Garros, beating Ferrero in the way), Bellucci (a rising star) and Ferrer/Baghdatis (who has a SF and a QF in SW19) ... a little more comfortable but definitely not a walk in the park.

and if they both get trough, that battle is going to be one of the highlights of the championships, no doubt.
i can imagine 30 aces from Robin, and a lot of fists and shouts of lion-heart Rafa...

:thumbsup:

Sergiy Stakhovsky won the ATP 250 of 's-Hertogenbosch (UNICEF Open)

He beat Tipsarevic 6-3, 6-0, getting his 3rd career title, the first one in 7 months. The bad news? he now plays Querrey in Wimbledon 1st round. And i don't think he'll go trough.

Michael Llodra won the ATP 250 of Eastbourne

He beat 7-5, 6-2 Garcia Lopez from Spain, getting his 5th career title, 2nd of the year.
