Who will win in Hamburg?

Tchocky · 05-15-2006, 06:08 AM

I know Andres beat me to the punch but he forgot to create a poll. Both Nadal & Federer have withdrawn due to fatigue. It's nice of Roger & Rafa to let somebody else to win.

both just withdrew !

Shabazza · 05-15-2006, 06:57 AM

tough call without Almagro, Fed and Rafa...Gonzo has a good draw, but this surface could be to slow for him, same for Ivan and Safin...really I don't know, I think I still pick Gonzo but I wouldn't bet on him

I haven't looked much at the draw, but I might go with Ljubicic. Not the surface for him, but who else is there? Maybe Gonzalez.

unjugon · 05-16-2006, 01:50 AM

Interestingly, no votes for Robredo.
I think he has a good chance if he plays well.

wyutani · 05-16-2006, 02:43 AM

you forgot to add in "others"...

bb47 · 05-16-2006, 03:51 AM

I am rooting for Gonza. Who is killing Tursunov at the moment. Who I am rooting for as well.

No room for "others". You only have 10 options. I don't think Mr. "Others" has a chance. When was the last time an unseeded player won a Master Series event?

Berdych in Paris last year.
