Ah Darth! The man is a legend, the sport will be much less interesting without him, not to mention his excellence on court. I wouldn't even wish Federer out of the game. We'll miss all these great players when they're gone...

Speak for yourself brotha

They deserve it! At least most of them. Too bad for Goffin the season is over, he seemed to be quite in form as of late. I wonder if he can carry on like this.

 

[Kieran]

Don't forget young Nick. He's been on holidays for a couple of months now. Poor child needs his sleep, he's only a nipper...

I think he will. He's gotten a little better every year.

Thanks for reminding me. I added him, Tomic and Nadal to the list

The last contender left is Kei. He is dueling with Robredo at the moment. They are in a tb in the first set.

 

[kskate2]

T-Rob/Kei in 1st set breaker

 

[kskate2]

Rob w/ the mini 5-3

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Tommy you need to win this t/breaker,you suck at t/breakers of late,may I remind you of Andy Murray? I rest my case.

Vamos Tommy you won the 1st set in a t/breaker 76....Vamos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kskate2]

3 FH errors and Kei drops the opening breaker

 

[kskate2]

Kei levels at 6-2. Meanwhile, JWT is up 4-2 in the decider over Melzer

 

[Denis]

Kei breaks. Good. Hope he can win this one. Would be a real downer if he cant make it to the WTF.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Tsonga wins his match against Melzer. Might do some damage here, me thinks.

 

[Denis]

Kei is through too. Great. Tsonga next. That should be fun.

 

[kskate2]

^ I expect Kei to win that.

 

[kskate2]

Le Monf and Iznah underway. Winner to take on Novak

 

[GameSetAndMath]

So, all the six contenders are alive and so no progress on the qualification front.
Here are some of the possible, not necessarily probable, matches that might pit contender against contender.

1. Andy vs. Grigor ----- R3 (this one is confirmed).
2. Ferrer vs. Kei ----- QF
3. Milos vs. Berdych --- SF.

and several more possibilities for SF in top half and for finals.
