yeah...Argentina purposely chose indoor carpet rather than clay courts...(Argentines are also famous for their prowess on clay court) coz I think Del Potro n Nalbandian stand a better chance on fast indoor courts against the 2 Spaniards...

jankovic defeated ivanovic..too much unforce error from ivanovic~=,=

is she the new justine henin?

Who is the new Justine Henin? I don't see any current players able to replace Henin. Many of them are very inconsistent, especially Ivanovic. Ivanovic is obviously not at her best since French Open. She has been missing alot of shots.. and her movement is quite clumsy too.

Safina seems to have trouble beating the Williams sisters.

Today's Schedule




Lets see whether Ivanovic can qualify for the semifinals... if she can beat Zvonareva then her chance of qualifying will be better.

Hope Dementieva beats V. Williams.

No single-handed backhand cannot be successor to Henin...

when the draw for the shanghai masters gonna be made?

Made already.

1st Group : Federer, Murray, Roddick, Simon
2nd Group : Djokovic, Davydenko, Del Potro Tsonga

Nadal withdrew due to injuries.

wah...murray same group with federer...gonna be interesting...and simon also!

roddick - half chance to beat fed .... don't think he can make it though

1st group i bet Federer and Murray to progress
2nd group is a tight one...but i place my bet on Djokovic and Del Potro...

I agree that Federer and Murray will make it through in the first group... While Del Potro and Tsonga both have equal chances of making it.

OMG. tough group for federer. who is he gonna play first?

Bepeon: forgot Tsonga has beaten Djokovic in the last 2 matches so i'd agree with you...Tsonga does stand a good chance to qualify to the semis...but I think djoker is planning a revenge...hahahaha! good to see him lose...don't like his cocky face

Seems to be something wrong with Ivanovic since her French Open victory... The once great forehand has not been working and making tons of errors. Doesn't seem to be very fit now... And now she's confirm out of the Championships with 2 losses.

Same thing with Safina. Lost to Venus and now to Serena yesterday. The serve is really giving free points to the Williams sisters.

I think the Williams sisters would win the tournament. They really seem to be determined about it. Or maybe Jankovic.

hoho ... lookout for vera ..

ivanovic cant recover her form after the injury

such a close game between Davydenko and Tsonga!!

Meanwhile
Venus Williams df. Vera Zvonareva 6-7 6-0 6-2

i have to say that the match between tsonga and davydenko was fantastic..pulsating..hope to see better matches today..

Lolz. Yeah the match was nice.. Just the 3rd set tie breaker... Tsonga could have done much better but he could have lost earlier also hahaha.. so its okay.

Yeah, hope Federer beats Simon.

Andy Murray against Roddick at 8PM.

federer looks a bit upset.hmmm hopefully he wins

Federer admits he's not 100% fit.
Still got back injury.

the fans in shanghai really love fed. =) go federer! he looks exhausted IMO
