Paris Masters

It's the middle of November and the guys are still playing tennis.....ok enough whining, let's get on with the seemingly endless 2009 season:
Djokovic has suddenly found his game late in the fall season to be hottest player on the tour.  
Djokovic dispatched a tired and uninspired Nadal to reach the finals of Paris. He faces hometown hero, Gael Monfils (aka. Mr. Elastic) in the final.

What a ho-hum week it has been in Paris. Federer lost out in his 1st match. Safin bid adieu to professional tennis, Delpo hampered with yet another injury and Nadal, like Federer, left his game at home.  

One a side note, let's give a big hand for French guys who showed up to play and give the adoring public something to cheer for: Benneteau, Grosjean, Monfils, Tsonga etc.

We'll take Djokovic for the win.

Today's match more than made up for a pretty forgettable week!  Great job by Nole to hang tough and eke out a win in front of a heavily partisan crowd.  Hope we can get all the top guys healthy and motivated in London in a little over a week!

Any predictions about the year-ending championships?  Any word on the groupings yet?  I for one am excited -- even though the tennis season is long for players and fans alike, I still get psyched for the Masters finals!

no word on the groupings yet....but going on recent form, Djokovic is not a bad pony to bet on.

I love the masters cup as well...usually ends the season on a high.

Dunno mans. The Joker taking the Championships?? Highly unlikely..the guy's too young.

Nole's the form horse for sure, and a big win in London would set him up for a much better 2010. I'm personally pulling for Del Po to get back his fitness and rise to the top, but we'll see.  I'm anxious to see how many of the top 10 pull out with injuries...Roddick's leading the way, but I hope he's the last!

Very intriguing round robin match-ups announced today!  I'm especially interested to see how Rafa fairs against Nole and Soderling - he must be in the mood for revenge with both foes.  And he has a chance of overtaking Roger at the end if the Swiss master falters in London.  Should be an exciting week!

Groupings turned out to be interesting but Group A > Group B

Sad, that Roddick had to pull out but what a bonus for Soderling to cap off a career year.
