Unfortunately, I doubt that Roddick will get out of his group. Blake has a chance, but he is a tad inconsistant at times.

Yes it is a sad fact. Roddick has a very tough group. Nalbandian being the weakest player as of right now. Federer should come through this group.

I think Davydenko can come through in this group. Blake has been playing well so I think he also has a chance. Nadal his played well throughout the year. But lately he hasn't been producing the results. I also hear that he had a minor injury (he says he fine). That could maybe hinder some play we will have to see. Robredo hasn't had a bad indoor season. But I don't think he can get past Blake and Davydenko

Red group's definitely stronger. Roddick might be able to pull off a second place finish there, but it'll be tough. He wouldn't be able to tough it out against Nalbandian or Ljubicic. In the blue group, I like Blake's chances.

Great groups! I would say Blue group will be more competitive. I actually have NO idea who will come through. They all have equal chances IMO. Actually, Nadal is probably the least favourite to get through. I want everyone in Blue Group to do well as they are all some of my fav. men players. I think it will be Davydenko and Blake though.

Ljubicic and Nalbandian haven't been in the greatest form lately, so I think Roddick could sneak through if Ljubicic and Nalbandian put in below-par performances.

J-man, are those times eastern, or what, and if not could someone translate that into our times (maybe xdoublea Wink

)

This is going to be exciting, Davydenko is in really great form right now, he played so well in Paris. I'm not sure about Nadal, but I just don't feel he will lose to Blake one more time, he has revenge.

Nalbandian-Federer will be cool, but I think Federer is far and beyond Nalbandians form right now.
