Re: Early Commitments

No and Murray shouldn't play here either. Djokovic: Beijing, Shanghai, Paris, London; Murray: Tokyo, Shanghai, Basel, Paris, London. Andy playing 5 events in 6 weeks is a bit crazy, he should drop something like Tokyo or Paris.

his presence has been announced for months

I don't think he can afford withdrawing once again for his reputation to tournaments (esp. as he's had other -even though less dramatic- problems in Dubai, Rotterdam ...)

But I think he will drop Paris to be ready for the WTF (so will Federer as well imo)

I wonder more about Del Potro, esp. if Argentina qualifies for DC final, and as he's also entered Vienna (finalist last year) previous week.

Davydenko decided to play Basel instead of Valencia :eek: ? Obviously he wants to play Daddy Fed and become his duck eventually next year.
