I think Roger should send Rafa a very nice Christmas gift. Roger won french and wimby back to back due to his absence...

Imagine if Nadal was #3 and ended up with Federer, Djokovic, and Murray/DelPotro

No, Fed will be gone by then. That is why Rafa is sending him a bagel by UPS.

I didn't see anyone say Soderling was favorite to win, just that he'll probably at least beat Nadal if the two met up. Anything after that is uncertain. As of now, I'd put Fed, Djok, Murray, and Davy ahead of Sod as favorites.

Federer and Murray should easily get out of their group as Del Potro sucks at the moment and Verdasco can't beat a top player.
I think Djokovic is a sure bet to get out of the group, and then probably Soderling. Soderling has the edge over Davydenko and Nadal based on current form (he just beat Davydenko about a week ago and obviously knows how to beat Nadal).
I see Murray vs Soderling and Federer vs Djokovic in the semifinals, with Murray and Djokovic making it to the finals. Based on current form it would obviously be Djokovic, but if Murray can get out of the current slump he seems to be in I think he has a good chance.

I hope you're right. I do believe Nadal's going to be a little careful about not risking injury in London, though, given that the Davis Cup is around the bend and he's determined to play and win THAT for sure! So I'm not expecting him to run for every single ball, of which we know him capable.
On the other hand, if he's approaching London with his Tsonga positives in mind, he may not have to run all over the court so much because he'll be more aggressive - and hopefully this time he'll have a game plan in mind for each of his three opponents. All the lost matches he played recently with them - being fresh in his mind - could come in very handy, indeed, if he and Toni are spending some time now pondering the antidotes.

Out of those 8 Federer is the most experienced in indoor and maybe might be able to beat Murray this time.

Excellent stuff, batz!
So, turns out I was wrong. Looks like the first seed's group is playing first this year.
Obviously, due to Murray.
