San Jose, Costa do Sauipe and Marseille picks

[nrota]

I know the ATP fantasy season hasn't started yet but I thought I'd get into practice and pick the draws for this week's tournaments.

I have Roddick over Murray and into the final because he's on such a roll and since it's indoors, I have Blake over Roddick for the title. Blake might want to make up for his continuing Davis Cup frustration

I don't know if Ancic is hurt or not but it'd be fun to see Ancic and Ljubicic in the final at Marseille.

I have Calleri and Almagro in the Costa do Sauipe final. I didn't realize Calleri was all the way up to 25.

All picks here.

Warmup before the start! This contest is getting serious
I can´t wait for this year, Nadal performance in Wimbledon last year spoiled my hopes of being top 100. Any idea about the 2007 start?

I assume the ATP fantasy game will start in April again, after Indian Wells and Miami. Just in time to familiarize myself with all of those obscure clay court players we never see in the U.S. because the only clay court we have is a green thingy that gets played on in Houston.

One thing for sure this year, I will know how long the clay court season lasts in Europe (forever) and pick my players appropriately. I ran out of clay court players very early last year.

I wish there were more clay courts in the U.S., I would prefer to be running around on clay than cement all the time. It'd be easier on my fragile body.
