I voted for DelPo before seeing Tipsy's wife.

DelPo will have a tough time, he has problems with Fed, Murray and Djokovic so he'll have to be at his best.

But he's my player so I'll take my chances.

Who doesnt have "problems" with those players? I mean afterall, they are better than the rest.

Delpo aint even close being one of the favorites, there is players who have more skill than him.

It depends on 'the day' performance of all those players and whether DelPo can get into a good groove.

He looks to be very accurate of late and can get a little better still.

Yeah, though he has only won one match vs Murray, a lot of them have been close. He could also take out Fed on his day, maybe even Djokovic.

If he gets this group it could be good

Federer
Ferrer
Del Potro
Tipsarevic

The other group would be

Djokovic
Murray
Berdych
Tsonga

He might only need one great win over a top 3 player to make the final. But I doubt the group will be like this.

[smoledman]

Wow so DelPo finally got his first win against Fed in 3 years and suddenly he's THE MAN to beat?

[Duncan Bell]

Pumped for this - first tennis I'll be watching live. Apparently the champion always opens - I've got tickets to the first session so assume this means I'm guaranteed Fedarah?

Yes. In both 2003 and 2004

[sbengte]

I will go out on a limb and bet my money on Ferrer winning the WTF after going on a Davydenko 2009 like run My next choice is Berdych or Tsonga.

I don't see Fed winning this at all. Delpo may come into the tournament high on confidence, but will probably feel a bit in his legs. Could be a potential finalist. Don't know in what shape Djoko and Murray will show up. Somehow don't see either of them taking this.

I reckon the King will win.

Ey, can you make this poll public ?

[raphMODE]

As a Federer Fan, I realisticaly voted "Djokovic", cause I really don't think the Maestro will go to the Final (maybe even not the semis because of the bad way he's playing since USO, and his losses against Berdych, Murray, DelPo)
...And I was quite surprised that just a few people choose Djoko as the winner !!! (and Federer surprisingly leading the poll, by the way).
–
Do you really think Djokovic has no chances to win it ???
For me it's currently the best player, and he seems in better form than Murray (which had a back issue last week)

Only on TT can Fed be the favorite for the WTF and be finished at the same time

[ledwix]

Though WTF is pretty important, I have to admit that this is the most boring stretch of the season. There is always much more excitement/drama from the stretch of Indian Wells to Rome than from Tokyo/Beijing to WTF. That partly has to do with player participation and effort, which makes me wonder if WTF should be valued a full 1500 points.

[NadalAgassi]

I have a feeling it could be Murray. If not him Djokovic, and Del Potro is my 3rd choice. Federer is the only other one who could win it. Couldnt imagine Berdych, Tsonga, Ferrer, or Tipsarevic doing it.
