    What happens when the draws been done.
    Top 4 seeds are
    1 Djokovic
    2 Nadal
    3 Federer
    4 Murray
    So how come if they get to the semis, Djokovic plays Federer and Nadal plus Murray. Doesn't make sense

    So, in theory, the final will be between Djokovic (Seed 1) & Nadal (Seed 2).

    the seeding is to protect the top 4 players so they don,t get knocked out in the earlier rounds wether this is right or wrong is open to debate.

    You're not getting what I mean. It should be 1 v 4 and 2 v 3. Djokovic and Murray should begin the same half of the draw.

    There is 2 halfs to the draw. On a classic tournament map the 4 top seeds are in the corners, L to R across top corners then same on bottom corners.

    At a guess, mate,

    I'd have thought all the odd numbered seeds would be in one half of the draw and the evens in the other, thus theoretically finishing up with a final of 1 vs. 2.

    Yes, 1 in top L, 2 in top R, 3 in bottom L, 4 in bottom R. Split is vertical.

    Four standout games for me -

    Djokovic - Ferrero

    Murray - Davydenko

    Tsonga - Hewitt

    Baker - Roddick


    I tipped Petra Kvitova on here at 10's last year, and Jo Tsonga E/W in the mens at 50's. Nearly got em both.

    Dunno who I fancy this time, but certainly not Murray..
