Roddick for the mens, Sharapova for the womens

Mr_love_monkey · 15-06-2005, 15:12

bopdude · 15-06-2005, 15:14

And I thought it was gonna be hard enough to miss it on t.v, now its here as well .. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

nffc · 15-06-2005, 15:22

Federer and Sharapova again for me.

Henman will fail QFs as expected by the seeding.

Good point, my monkey chum. How the hell does Henman get seeded 6th? It's not like he's got any chance of winning really, is it?

STONEISLAND · 15-06-2005, 15:27

3. HEWITT, Lleyton (AUS) To win
2. SHARAPOVA Miss Maria (RUS) To

Tennis used to be ' good ', over the last 10 years or so it's lost all of it's appeal, IMHO that is.

Thanks for that

But Henman at 6th? Nalbandian's down at 18th, and at least he's got to the final before!

And he really shouldn't have. Plus Henman's a grass player and Nalbandian's a claycourter. I also believe Henman (9th) is higher than Nalbandian (19th) in teh Entry which is used to generate the seedings.

They can move players around a few places to suit previous record, court type, etc etc but the Entry is basically the seedings.

Men's ATP Entry System
13 June:
1 R Federer Swi (seeded 1) 11 M Puerta Arg
2 L Hewitt Aus (seeded 3) 12 G Gaudio Arg
3 R Nadal Sp (seeded 4- clay and young) 13 T Robredo Sp
4 A Roddick US (seeded 2- grass (really hard) player) 14 G Coria Arg
5 M Safin Rus (seeded 5) 15 R Stepanek Cze
6 A Agassi US (withdrew) 16 D Ferrer Sp
7 N Davydenko Rus 17 I Ljubicic Cro
8 G Canas Arg 18 T Johansson Swe
9 T Henman GB (seeded 6) 19 D Nalbandian Arg
10 J Johansson Swe 20 C Moya Sp

Other British players:
39 G Rusedski 213 J Delgado
184 A Bogdanovic 221 A Mackin
205 A Parmar 260 D Sherwood
212 M Hilton 274 J Marray CBA to do the rest but you get the point.
