Next tournament for Nole is Shanghai Masters




His draw:

R1: BYE
R2: Andujar or Dimitrov
R3: Kohlschreiber
QF: Tipsarevic
SF: Berdych/Tsonga
F: Federer/Murray
Good luck Nole :)

Win the whole thing and hope Fed looses before QF so you will be n.1 :D

R2: H2H against Andujar 2:0 (last win Indian Wells 6-0, 6-7(5), 6-2 )
Dimitrov never played together.

R3 Feliciano Lopez 4:0 for Nole :)
dropped just set against him

QF:Tommy Haas 3:2 for Nole

SF: Berdych

Re: Keeping the streak going- Shanghai Masters

All finalists this week are in Nole's half with 3 of them in Tsonga's quarter :eek:

Although Murray is in Fed's half, but big hitters like Tsonga, Raonic and Berdych are in Nole's half. The good news is Raonic and Berdych are in Tsonga's quarter so Nole will only need to face one :p

Re: Keeping the streak going- Shanghai Masters

I won't be able to watch the match (it's at about 3am for me).

I don't expect Novak to be troubled by Grigor's game...Grigor can play really well, but doesn't have the game to troubled Novak, in my opinion.

I hope Novak starts strongly and doesn't play more than he has to.

Go for the title, Novak. :worship:

Again it took him less than an hour!
W/UE: Nole 18-18, Grigor 4(?)-23(?), only lost five points on serve!
Judging from the numbers, while he was very dominant on serve, it probably wasn't the cleanest match, which is somewhat expected from Nole anyway. Good job. :)

18 UEs? :( he statistian is a bit stingy. :p Anyway, Nole broke early in each set and since he had no problem with his own serve, he's been pretty aggressive in his return games and had no patience in setting up points and tried to hit a winner in a not so perfect position. That's probably the reason for the UE counts.

Re: Keeping the streak going- Shanghai Masters, R3: Lopez

I looked at the scores and see that R.Federer is playing. I thought he was skipping this tournament. :confused:

Anyway, I'm glad he's playing. Hopefully, Nole will triumph and hold up the trophy.

I also hope that they won't force Nole to dance. I guess the organizers don't understand that it's kind of treating him like some sort of trained monkey. :mad:

Re: Keeping the streak going- Shanghai Masters, R3: Lopez

Race results are fairly telling at this stage of the season.

1 Djokovic, Novak (SRB) 10,410 0 14
2 Federer, Roger --(SUI) -8,895 0 17
It's interesting to me that Nole has around 1500 more points while having played 3 fewer tournaments. Usually Federer gets kudos because of his scheduling, but he's evidently felt pressed this year to keep up with Nole. Or maybe he felt that since Nole had so many points to defend, he should play everything he could in order to claim the number one spot.

Nole has 560 points to defend for the rest of the season while Fed has 3000 points :eek: so getting some points and prevent Nole from gaining more in Shanghai definitely helps. Especially Nole does not sign up for Basel where he will lose 180 points. Nobody knows what will happen for the last few weeks and whether Nole will gain more points on Fed. :shrug:

Re: Keeping the streak going- Shanghai Masters, QF

I'm a little worried about Haas. :unsure:

Haas has been on fire recently and he took a set off Nole in Canada... I hope Nole brings his A-game... He doesn't want to be tired for his semifinal match.

AJDE! :cheerleader:
