2009 Madrid Masters Question	Permalink

The 2009 Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open is being played on indoor clay this year. For the past eight years it has been played on hard court. Murray won this last year (on hard). Does this mean he is going to have to defend his hard court title on clay? If so hes going to lose a bunch of points -- Edited by Andymonium on Wednesday 29th of April 2009 04:39:03 PM __________________

No, he keeps his points for 52 weeks whatever happens to the tournament in question. You could think of it as Madrid 2009 being the new Hamburg, Shanghai 2009 being the new Madrid and London WTF being the new Shanghai TMC, though apart from Madrid/Hamburg, the weeks don't quite match. __________________ GB on a shirt, Davis Cup still gleaming, 79 years of hurt, never stopped us dreaming ... 29/11/2015 that dream came true!

well he made the 3rd round at hamburg 08. so pretty much if he makes the 3rd round at Madrid 09 and he wins Shanghi 09 (as he won madrid 08) he will defend all points. So complicated __________________
