RE: Tim's Competitors Week 1

RobC · All-time great

Malisse plays Boggo target Galvani, and Moya plays Kevin Kim in Chennai today.

Bjorkman plays Davydenko, Mirnyi plays Boggo threat Chiudinelli and Monfils plays Andy Threat Youzhny in Doha.

I'd suggest pins into Malisse and Moya, leaving Bjorkman, Mirnyi and Monfils to knock out seeds and threats.

RobC · All-time great

Xabby Malisse is a set and a break up - looking too good for Galvani

RobC · All-time great

Mirnyi knocks out Chiudinelli for Boggo. Now it's time for him to concentrate on the doubles, and lose his QF on Friday, methinks.

RobC · All-time great

Now that Bjorkman's out to Davydenko, the table's updated for Wednesday's play.

Bjorkman, Ramirez- Hidalgo and Monfils go out in Doha.

Moya and Mirnyi advance.

Tonight sees number 2 threat, Clement play his second RR - against Boggo threat Guccione. Mathieu also plays Del Potro. Pins at the ready!

seagull · Hall of fame

Clement, Simon, Matthieu and Mayer all out in Adelaide

RobC · All-time great

Thanks Seagull! I've updated the table.

Today, we have number one threat, Benneteau playing Andreev in Chennai. Julien overtakes if he wins - so lets hope Igor can stay uninjured!

Ahead, Olly Rochus plays his QF against Davydenko in Doha.

Behind, a certain Murray takes on Mirnyi in Doha;

Srichaphan takes on Koubek, and Santoro plays Phau in Chennai. Neither can overtake this week

We're now down to a max of four who can overtake(worst case down 1, best case up 3), so your best voodoo curses into today's two: Benneteau and Mirnyi.

RobC · All-time great

Srichaphan went out 1 & 2 to Koubek

- looks like his injury's not sorted out yet.

RobC · All-time great

Benneteau won the first set against Andreev in a tiebreak

1-0 Benneteau, with serve, in the second.

RobC · All-time great

Benneteau won the second 6-2. so Tim drops a place to WR 37

- he's still up two on the week, though

RobC · All-time great

Tim's table updated.

Benneteau overtakes. Santoro advances in Chennai.

Mirnyi goes out - you might have heard about that. As does Ollie Rochus.

So Tim's at 37th.

Malisse, Moya and Santoro play in Chennai tomorrow.

Bethan, can they all overtake?

threats left:

Xavier Malisse, by reaching the sf in Chennai.
Carlos Moya, by winning in Chennai.

unfortunately it is possible for both to overtake.

On the plus side, these two are the only ones left so Tim's worst case is 39, no change from last week. (best case 37, plus 2)

RobC · All-time great

Xabby is 4-2 up in the first against Santoro

RobC · All-time great

First set to Malisse, and he immediately breaks Santoro in the second. 6-4 *1-0

come on Fabrice - Prove Zimonjic wrong - he thinks you should have been playing doubles in Doha!

RobC · All-time great

Fabrice breaks back! 4-4

Santoro to serve
