Predict-the-SCORE #56:
Tennis Masters Cup Shanghai 2005

Code:
*Copyright alwayshingis - May 8th, 2004 -*

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][B]Predict-the-SCORE [/B][/COLOR] is a game in which you can predict the actual scores of 
matches on the ATP tour.

Throughout, you will predict the scores to [B]15[/B] matches of your choice.
However, the matches must be chosen in this breakdown:

Round-Robin: [B]12[/B] matches 
Semifinal: [B]2[/B] matches 
Final: [B]1[/B] match

If a match becomes invalid (withdrawals or a retirement during the match)
the pick is not counted and you may reuse it any other time during the
tournament.

As stated, you don't need to commit to play. :)

Preview

Code:
[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=Gold]Gold Group:[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]

#2 seed [B]SaFed2005[/B], our Wimbledon champion, heads the Gold Group.
The former world #1 has had a pretty solid year, winning Miami, Montreal and
4 other titles. However, last year's semifinalist has underperformed so far
during this indoor season, only managing to make the SFs in Bangkok and
Madrid, and he will be looking to improve on this statistic. 

#3 seed [B]Puschkin[/B] has had a pretty impressive debut year. The Roland
Garros finalist showed that he can play on fast surfaces too when he won 
Cincinnati and New Haven back-to-back. Albeit starting the indoor season 
rather poorly, the world #4 proved that he has gotten into the groove of 
playing indoors by making the Paris final and he is not to be underestimated!

#5 seed [B]virex[/B] is another player who made his PTS debut in 2005. Our 
St Poelten winner has been the model of consistency and has shone on 
various surfaces, making the finals of Rome, Nottingham, Cincinnati 
and Beijing. He does not seem to have adapted to indoors, however, failing to 
reach the SFs of an indoor event. Still, one should not bet against him hitting 
his stride at the TMC and proving the doubters wrong, as he has done on 
various occasions this year!

#7 seed [B]Ria[/B] rounds up the Gold Group. Another debutant in 2005, Ria 
has performed well, making the final of Monte-Carlo and the semis of 
Barcelona, Estoril, St Poelten, Hamburg, Roland Garros, Miami and 
Nottingham. As can be seen, the world #7's claycourt resume is especially 
exceptional. Although Ria has yet to make an impact indoors so far, he is a 
player who works hard and is a fighter who should not be dismissed easily! 


[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=Red]Red Group:[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]

#1 seed [B]silverwhite[/B] has had a pretty consistent year. The Roland 
Garros champion has won Indian Wells, Monte-Carlo and 6 other titles. The 
worrying trend for the world #1, however, is that most of his titles came in 
the middle of the year and he seems to have peaked for the year. He has 
also been very inconsistent indoors, winning Basel together with SwissMister1 
but failing to make the semis of any other indoor tournament. 

#4 seed [B]bad gambler[/B] is our defending champion. This all-surface player 
has posted solid results on clay, on hardcourts as well as indoors. Although 
the world #3 has only won one title this year, the Paris title couldn't have 
come at a better time, further cementing his impressive indoor record (final in 
Milan and Vienna, semis in Madrid) this year and sending out the signal that 
he is in good form. 

#6 seed [B]SwissMister1[/B] only joined the game after Roland Garros but 
has definitely taken the PTS world by storm! This all-court player has 
displayed his versatility by winning titles on 4 different surfaces in 
Nottingham, Stuttgart, Beijing and Basel, and is definitely a huge threat 
everywhere. The world #6 has notched up a solid indoor record to boot, 
making the finals in Bangkok and Madrid in addition to his Basel win, and looks 
good to end the year on a high at the TMC.

#8 seed [B]jrm[/B] rounds up the Red Group. The former world #3 started the 
year on a high note with a final in Sydney and a semifinal in Melbourne and 
then semifinals in Milan and Marseille. She took a hiatus, however, from 
Barcelona through St Poelten and has not been at her best since her return. 
Still, she has proven she can rise to the occasion at the big tournaments, as 
can be seen form her semifinal showings at the Australian Open and 
Wimbledon. At her best, the world #9 is a dominant force on fast surfaces, 
winning Queen's and 's-Hertogenbosch as well as Basel and Madrid 
back-to-back in 2004, and it would be a big mistake the underestimate her! 
 

[SIZE=3][B]Predictions[/B][/SIZE]

The [COLOR=Gold]Gold Group[/COLOR] is made up of 4 very consistent 
players. We would have to give former #1 [B]SaFed2005[/B] the edge to top 
the group, because he is unstoppable at his best, and [B]Puschkin[/B] to 
finish second, because he seems better adjusted indoors than the other two. 

The [COLOR=Red]Red Group[/COLOR] at their best is the tougher and more 
experienced group but whether these 4 players will be in peak form remains 
to be seen. [B]SwissMister1[/B] consistently finishes in the Top 3 in 
tournaments. His reliability, as well as the fact that he has no points to 
defend, makes him our bet to top the group. Second place is a toss-up, 
really, but based on current form, we would pick defending champion 
[B]bad gambler[/B], fresh from his win in Paris.  
 
Semifinals: SaFed2005 def bad gambler, SwissMister1 def Puschkin 
3rd-4th placing: bad gambler def Puschkin 
Final: SwissMister1 def SaFed2005 (VERY CLOSE CALL) 


[SIZE=3][B]Rankings[/B][/SIZE]

No matter what happens in Shanghai, [B]silverwhite[/B] and [B]SaFed2005[/B]
will end the year ranked #1 and #2. [B]Puschkin[/B] has the #3 spot almost 
wrapped up and as long as he does not get relegated AND THEN end 
up at the bottom of the sub-tournament league table, he cannot be passed. 

[B]bad gambler[/B] and [B]virex[/B] have 25 points separating them and it is 
almost certain that whoever has a better finish in this tournament will end 
the year at #4 while the other will finish #5. [B]SwissMister1[/B] and [B]Ria[/B] 
are in a tight fight themselves with a difference of 31.5 points between them 
and again, the one who does better in Shanghai is likely to end the year in 
front of the other. Both actually have a shot at passing [B]bad gambler[/B] 
and [B]virex[/B] but only if they finish a round ahead of either/both of them. 

[B]jrm[/B] needs to finish at least 4th in Shanghai if she wants to overtake 
[B]willie[/B]. Otherwise, she will remain #9. She can overtake [B]SwissMister1[/B] 
and [B]Ria[/B] by finishing a round ahead of either/both of them but to 
overtake [B]bad gambler[/B] and [B]virex[/B], she has to win the tournament

Re: Predict-the-SCORE #55: Tennis Masters Cup Shanghai 2005

A bit about the format. Everyone is invited to play, but only the Top 8 in the Race will play in the main tournament. The other players will play the sub-tournament. :)

Main Tournament:
The Top 8 will be divided into 2 groups, and will then predict the scores for ALL the round-robin matches.

The two players with the highest scores from each group will then advance to the SFs where they'll predict the scores for the SFs. The two players at the bottom of each round-robin group will be relegated to the sub-tournament.

The 2 winners of the semifinals will then advance to the finals. The other 2 semi-finalists will fight for third-fourth placing.

Sub-Tournament:
The other players will square off in the format of a league table. They have to predict the scores for ALL the round-robin matches as well as the semi-finals and final.



Ranking points will be available for ALL! :D

Thanks, Silverwhite. I am looking forward to this. It compensates a bit for my non-existing Tv-coverage.
