We know that Federer and Nadal have already qualified, but Roddick and Ljubicic have officially joined them:

His ankle will be in question but I think he will be fine. Ljubicic will be a major threat come YEC

Yes, but he won't win, because all he says is "Federer's the best". He lost before it even started.

But Federer does have a 12-1 reocord against Roddick. If that is't enough to put doubt in your mind. Also Federer beat Roddick when Roddick was playing some of his best tennis in awhile at the US Open

Sorry, I was talking about Ljubicic. Embarassed Roddick would never admit defeat that obviously.

Embarassed My bad. It's kind of what everyone saying nowadays, "Federer's the best". So I got confused.

Baghdatis was injured after his win in China and was sidelined for a couple of weeks.
He then rushed to come back and lost in the first round in 3 consecutive events. He probably came back too soon trying to get into the Masters Cup. Crying or Very sad

Obviously!

Bottom line is that the year-end cup makes this part of the season interesting. Otherwise, a lot of the players would be skipping several lower tiered events and it would be just boooooring.

Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Ivan Ljubicic and Andy Roddick have all qualified.

From there, the race looks like this:

5. Nikolay Davydenko- 445
6. David Nalbandian- 439
7. James Blake- 411
8. Tommy Robredo- 410
9. Fernando Gonzalez- 402 (will jump to 7 with win in Basel final)
10. Marcos Baghdatis- 372 (will not qualify as he isn't playing Paris)
11. Mario Ancic- 372 (plays in St.Petersburg final)

In the doubles race, 6 of 8 teams have qualified. They are the Bryans, Bjorkman/Mirnyi, Hanley/Ullyett, Knowles/Nestor, Damm/Paes and Santoro/Zimonjic.

Fromt there, the race is:

7. Erlich/Ram- 490
8. Fyrstenberg/Matkowski- 405 (will play in Basel final)
9. Aspelin/Perry- 381 (will play St.Petersburg final)
10. Dlouhy/Vizner- 368

In the singles, I don't see anyone overtaking Davydenko, but the other spots are extremely tight. Robredo's going to slip right off the Top 8, and I don't hink he can climb back.

In the doubles, surely Erlich/Ram will remain in seventh spot, but the Number 8 spot is really up for grabs, although I see F and M holding on.

Here is my prediction:

5. Nikolay Davydenko
6. David Nalbandian
7. Fernando Gonzalez
8. James Blake

Unfortunatley Baghdatis has aggravated his injury by coming back too soon in order to qualify for the cup, so he withdrew from Paris.
... and this is too painful for him and his friends as he lives and trains in Paris. Sad

As you all know, Davydenko has already claimed a spot, but Robredo has cliamed the seventh slot.
