Munich draw, who's going to win?

Munich had a pretty good field until the withdrawals (Berdych, Gasquet, etc.) began...now it has a definite MM feeling to it.

Kohli will try to defend his title, but it's really hard to pick a clear favourite here. Eight Germans in the main draw (no Kiefer or Mayer though), many chances to prove that German tennis isn't dead.

Darcis will win, he is not in good form but practically has a BYE untill the QF and should hit some decent form by then.

I think Andreev has a good chance to win it.

What a draw for Haas :o (But he'll retire anyway)
I give my vote to Kohlschreiber

heart says Gonzo
head says I. Andreev or P. Kohlschreiber

:p

Andreev can only win chess tournaments.

Darcis has this one in the bag.

Oh my god, who am I kidding

Kolhschreiber vs. Andreev final imo

cilic. why not?

Lee :bounce:

Vamos Clement and Lee please :o :rocker2:

Andreev has a good draw but with Rome coming after this I can see many of the clay specialists not giving 100%

Allez PHM

Last person not to withdraw or give a w.o. will win.

Andreev i guess...

Berrer.

heart says Gonzo
head says I. Andreev or P. Kohlschreiber

:p
Same here

Nice slow clay, plenty of time to see the city and drink beer.

Local lad the Bavarian Kohli at an early guess.

some good players meet each other and some lousy matchups, title to andreev, but hopefully del potro showes what he is worth

I can see Kohli defending his title here ;)

Monfils or El Aynaoui.

I want gonzalez to win it

Adam Chadaj, two wins already, six to go :rocker2:

KAMONNNN!!!!!!!!!

Gonzalez.

Uhm, Naso seems difficult, he's a choker for sure, but a better claycourter than Klec the Mug for example.

Tough draw for Safin. Haas in 2nd round and Gonzo in 3rd. That's, of course, if he wins his 1st match :)

I'll go with Gonzalez to win the whole thing.

My gut tells me that Gonzalez will pick up the trophy. Hope so, he has a good draw IMO.

safin

I just had a few glasses of wine with and after lunch, so i can claim Safin. My second choice of heart would be Fernando. If i had to put some reasoning i'd choose Andreev...and i hope Juan Martin does well :angel:

Coincidence! I just had a kir..... threw caution to the wind and chose Safin... stranger things have happened, though it would indeed be more in the territory of miracles.Reasoning... same, Andreev.

Steve Darcis:bigclap::bigclap::bigclap:

Cilic!

i like kohlschreiber's chances. he should be able to go deep into the tournament, i don't see him winning it though - andreev will probably take it.

betting on kohlschrieber and andreev and a little bit on that belgian dude that looks like a lady, darcis.
