ATP – Hamburg (500)

Top Seeds: Kolya, Nico, Melzer, JCF

Hopefully if you picked your tennis pool team with intentions of picking up big points in Hamburg, you chose the “throw darts at the draw” method, as three big names withdrew before the tournament even started (Ferru, Monf and Garlo) though conveniently AFTER the trading zone had close.

Not exactly a super exciting draw with their absence. This is a big two weeks for Kolya, however. If you remember, he missed a ton of time last season and came back on a mission, winning Hamburg and then Umag (next week) equaling a total of 750 points to defend. At 4,740 points, it’s not going to drop him out of the top 10 or anything, but it’s two of four tournaments (Shanghai and London) where he’s got a serious chunk of points to defend (3250 of his points come from those four tournies).

Top Seeds: Dick, Tree, Lleyton, Zeballos

What better way to kick off the US Open Series than with what must be the oldest average draw all year? No, seriously. All top 8 seeds are 25 or older. You’ve also got Blah, Dent, Russell, Kunitsyn… My favourite part about this draw? The winner of Blake/Dent, a pretty prime time match in the early round of a small time, American event, gets to play clay court, Challenger guy Horacio Zeballos… who got a first round bye. Hee.

The prettiest site with the most boring of draws. Bit of a shame. Seriously though, go look at centre court. It gives Monte Carlo a run for it’s money.
