Muzza committing suicide with this hectic schedule he's inherited in the last couple of years.

[3fees]

Murray in 2 or 3

[No1e]

This poll would be a big joke if none of this two ended up winning.

Doesn't matter. Once you enter the "conversation of the elite", you have to do what it takes to stay there, yes?

(I still think they should trim that schedule. I think it's interesting that Roger finally got on that bandwagon after his Shanghai loss, when Rafa's been saying it for years.)

what did roger say? funny he's always just been clever in scheduling, i guess now he's older plus having to play a fair bit to be number one, he's disagreeing with his younger self.

So far 2-2 this year.

Federer...Dubai and Wimbledon.
Murray....Olympics and Shanghai.

[veroniquem]

Come on Andy, make up for your unusual lack of success in Asia by kicking *** in Basel. You can win this, let's do it!!!

Federer will say whatever fits his mood or whatever benefits his character.

Go Roger!

I think Nishikori or delPo - but if Murray and Fedex do play, I'm going A-Train

I might be wrong but didn't Nishikori pull out becuase of some injury

What did Roger say? Cutting schedule does not benefit him since he has no mandatory events anymore after this year, right?

Murray only has 180 points to defend at Paris so if he does well in Basel, then tank early in Paris and prepare early for WTF with Lendl. Hopefully, Ivan will get the killer instinct back into Andy's game as far as finishing matches at match point is concerned.

[underground]

11 people have failed in this poll already. Murray is officially out. Withdrew due to back pain (really? More like saving energy for Paris and WTF)

Neil Harman ‏@NeilHarmanTimes
Unlikely to be seeing Andy Murray in Basle next week my Swiss friends tell me. Would not be an unexpected decision.

http://icontent.atpworldtour.com/acc...entID=2012-328

Seeds should be:

1. Roger Federer
2. Juan Martin Del Potro
3. Richard Gasquet
4. Stanislas Wawrinka
5. Florain Mayer
6. Andreas Seppi
7. Mikhail Youzhny
8. Jeremy Chardy

Looks like we might have Fed-Delpo #7 this year.

Murray out? Hoping for a Wawrinka/Gasquet final then.

[-RF-]

That makes Sexi the winner by default

If you want to talk about sets then Roger has lost the last 5 against Murray without making 5 games.

Just saying.
