Wow! What a day of tennis; some totally unexpected results. I
thought that Anderson was finally going to get his first win
over Berdych. It kept looking good for him, but he tightened up
at the wrong time. It was a good win for Tomas though, because
in the past he would've concluded that it wasn't his day and
gave in, so it was good that getting further in the tournament
outweighed his past mental state. #Growth.
The same with Milos. He needed to step up in a big way, in a big
match, and he finally did it. I was surprised, a little, but
it's what he had to do to convince himself that he deserves a
piece of the pie. Bad luck for Federer; with his quest for #1
taking a huge hit.
Andy? I guess he's still not there yet. I'm getting tired of
Novak beating him so easily. Is it the back, or the lack of
confidence? Anyway, it's frustrating.
Watching the end of the Ferrer/Nishikori match and hoping that
Kei pulls it out. He'll give Novak more to think about, whereas
Ferrer will fold at the sight of most players with a #1 next to
their name. Come Kei!!! There's nothing worse than a dud of a
match.

Last night I picked Berdych (this one was easy), Raonic (just
had a very good feeling about this one), Nole and Nishi to come
through and they all did. Though not utterly happy with the
results (the Andy factor) but it's something I'd thought would
most likely happen.
I expect Nole to win the title. That would be nice. My 2nd
favourite is Nishi. Raonic probably wants it fairly badly but
Nole would be tough to beat. Nole wants to finish the year as
being No.1 again (so he should as he fully deserves it), so
he'll be tough to beat. At this point, only Nishi has slight
chance against him.

Raonic and Berdy have split sets. 2-1 in the final set - on
serve. Pulling for Raonic here.

And Raonic wins 7-5 in the 3rd. That was a good watch. ;D

And the winner is:

This is the 2nd best outcome for me. The first would be Andy
winning Paris of course. This saves Andy's ranking for the
moment and also, Nole is one step closer to seal his No. 1
ranking for the year.
Nole has also added another milestone to his resume with 600th
win. Pretty amazing if you think about it.
Congrats to his fans including myself!
And congrats to both Raonic and Nishikori. They both played so
well here.Taking out Federer, Berdych, Ferrer, Tsonga, Robredo
isn't easy by any means but they did just that.
And looks like Raonic has qualified as the 8th player at WTF.

I have no idea though as to what to expect from Andy as far as
WTF is concerned. He still seems a level below Nole and that
means, he's a level below Federer and Nadal as well. Guess will
just have to wait and see. I'd really like Andy to take care of
that ranking. He's fallen out one too many times this year in
the QTR finals due to his terrible ranking. This can't continue
to happen next year.
So Nole and Fed will be 1 and 2 at WTF and 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8
will be drawn randomly. I have no preference at this point but
I'd like Andy to deal with 1 tough match in the RR so that he
have a somewhat easier Semi assuming he qualifies to make that
far. He should really if you think about it and he should be
keen on it too for both reasons.
