The seeds for the Masters Cup are now confirmed, and they are as follows:
#1 Roddick
#2 Ferrero
#3 Federer
#4 Coria
#5 Agassi
#6 Schuettler
#7 Moya
#8 Nalbandian
There are exactly 8 possibilities for the draw, as follows:
1. seeds 1,3,5,7 / 2,4,6,8
2. seeds 1,3,5,8 / 2,4,6,7
3. seeds 1,3,6,7 / 2,4,5,8
4. seeds 1,3,6,8 / 2,4,5,7
5. seeds 1,4,5,7 / 2,3,6,8
6. seeds 1,4,5,8 / 2,3,6,7
7. seeds 1,4,6,7 / 2,3,5,8
8. seeds 1,4,6,8 / 2,3,5,7
The most "interesting" draw would be #6, which would put all Americans in one group and all Europeans in the other group. The 2 US players will be in one group also in 1,2 and 5, both Spaniards will be in one group also in 2,4 and 8, both Argentinians will be in one group also in 1, 3 and 8.
Any group that include Federer and Agassi, and therefor have 3 grand-slam winners, should be harder than the opposite group with Coria and Schuettler. Fed-Ex and Andre will be in Roddick's group in options 1 and 2, or in Ferrero's groups in 7 and 8... if one of the latter will come out, surely there would be more cries that the draw is fixed to help Andy...
