BNP Paribas Masters - ATP 1000 - Oct. 27th to Nov. 2nd

TB will decide it

 

[Front242]

Amazing flexibility by Monfils to win that last point.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

What a poor tb by Monf. He lost four consecutive pts on his own serve.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

So, all the Frenchies can prep for DCF now that they are free of other obligations.

 

[Front242]

Monfils is always dog poop in tiebreaks. Hopefully Murray v Djokovic will be good and not another pong fest.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Congrats to the new Daddy you are keeping on track to defend your title.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Good win for Nole. Some of the winners Monfils was hitting at the end of that set were ridiculous - 173 kph on one forehand, crazy.

Should be some good matches tomorrow, hopefully Andy can continue his upward trajectory - a match with Nole will always be good to see how far he is from being "back"...

Yeah that one tomorrow has the makings of being a complete snooze. Should be fairly tight but I can't picture Murray beating him on this surface. Tons of long and boring rallies I'd imagine.

Kei vs. Ferrer should be a good one, definitely rooting for the former.

Roger didn't get overextended today and with the surface playing slow he should be able to deal with Raonic.

Berd should take care of KA.

From Andy's PC.

This was Berdych's response on twitter.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Iona, I am definitely rooting wholeheartedly for your boy tomorrow.

Go Andy!!!

[GameSetAndMath]

Incidentally, Andy is #2 in number of matches won, behind only Fed.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Here are the current odds for winning Bercy.

Novak Djokovic 5/4
Roger Federer 9/4
Andy Murray 7
Kei Nishikori 11
Tomas Berdych 12

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Everybody who is supposed to reach QF reached there, except for the Man.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

ALERT: If Raonic loses tomorrow to Federer, the race to London is over immediately.
Kei, Berdych and Ferrer will advance independent of whether they win or lose
their matches.

Sadly, to my shame, but also the joy of murat and herios....

Lol! Shame on you. If the boot was on the other foot, I guarantee you I would never support the cheating Canadian. Truth be told even if I tried to, after a while watching his game, I would switch to Novak

Well then both him and Roger have a ton to play for. Makes it a little more intriguing but I can't see Roger letting this slip. As long as Roger makes the final he stays in contention for the year end #1, if he loses before the final and Nole wins it becomes a major long shot.
