I am so hoping that its Nadal vs Fed, plz let it be that match.I am so confident Fed will kick his behind and make it 3 straight over him.
 
Should be interesting to see if Nadal can finally get back to a final. You know Roger is going to be there.
 
The draw is out!

Nadal-Baghdatis 1st round ;)
Possible Nadal-Youzhny/Berdych match in 3rd round :D

Federer´s half of the draw looks easier.

Nadal leads 2-0 and didn´t drop a set against him but if Baghdatis is inspired he´s always a dangerous opponent, especially after Nadal absence in the last month...it´s uncertain...but I hope you keep your gun in your pocket this time ;)

Why the Hell is always Bracciali on Fed's side??? :mrgreen: :lol:
I would enjoy a Nadal-Fed final but a Berdych-Nadal matchup is on the 3rd round :)
 
Nadal-Baghdatis is a first round clash, too. Baghdatis is the kind of guy (despite his two poor matches against Nadal in the past) that could give Nadal a scare, quite possibly beat him considering how Nadal is playing.
 
Guys, do you know any tv station in US broadcasting Men's Dubai Open? I checked The Tennis Channel, but they only showed women's matches in Dubai. At least semis and final for men's would be fine, right? :-) Thanks.
 
That draw is the worst possible for Baghdatis but he has nothing to lose this time anyway so we're going to see a big match against him and Nadal.

Federer will win it in the end of course :D

I'd like to know the US broadcasting time as well ><
 
Hrbaty beat the wildcard... what's his name again? Bah, I can't be bothered finding out.

Anyway, it was a one-sided battle.

Andreev/Gicquel isn't, though. Andreev lost the first 6-7(4) but won the second 6-4.

Berdych is down a break to wildcard Mohammed Al Ghareeb of Kuwait. Only thing I remember Al Ghareeb for is taking Fed to a tiebreak in the first set of their second round encounter last year at this very tournament.

i like most of your draw... :)

by the way, this Al Ghareeb is surprising when he plays in dubai !
winning a set to berdych, after playing a tie-break vs roger last year... not so bad. ;)
 
my pick is federer....but i wont be surprised if nadal manages to beat berdych if they meet in that potential 3rd rd or whatever...

ur saying that baghdatis played to poor matches against nadal? in the semi's of wimby baghdatis would have beaten anyone besides fed the way he was playin. even nadal says that is the best match he has ever played. and the one at pacific life was a very tight first set but nadal was just too much for baghdatis. but it should be a very entertaining match

I like that draw as well and there is a high probability that it may come true, at least up to a point :D

Ela Marko! :mrgreen:

I'm going to watch this by any means.
