got to say sorry for the A rod, he has played so well, and still bee knocked out, from that i have seen fed, blake, roddick and probably rafa deserve to go through,

so we now know that fed, blake, nably are in it, and i trhink the last s.lot will be  between nadal/davy right? to be honets davy could take it. i hope the final is blake/nadal v federer.

edit: i got it wrong, if lubo bts fed then he goes through, so its a diffciult situation normally you have fed win it, but he might not try that hard, also payback for losing to nably last year? its unsporting, but it the fault of the flawed RR system.  

yeah round robin thing isn't good! don't think its great with 4 ppl in a group, so with 3 ppl think would be even worse!

consider these scenarios:  Boggo, Fed and Nadal in a group:

Say, Boggo beats Fed, then Boggo beats Nadal, there's no point in Fed vs Nadal being played!

Alternatively, if Boggo beats Fed in 2 sets, then Fed beats Nadal in 3: then for Boggo vs Nadal: if nadal wins in straight sets he goes through, but if Nadal only wins in 3 sets then Boggo goes through!  Means that once boggo has won a set, the players might as well go home! Furthermore, once Nadal wins a set vs Fed in the 2nd game, again the players might as well go home as Fed will have no chance of progressing, having lost to Boggo in 2!

actaully i can see this very eventuality this time next year.

but back to the present, fed doesnt mess and beat lubo 6 abnd 4 (ithink) to mean its now blakde, fed, nalby and davy/nadal left it it.

As confirmed on the Marray v Starace thread, nadal won 5-7 6-4 6-4 i think federer will win the semis, i still dont think we have seen the best of nadal yet and he still trying to get the confidence back.

nalby v blake - tough one to call, though i'll give nalby the edge. and we will have a rematch of nalby v fed masters no.4! (incl. last years masters cup matches!)
