A tournament without Nadull cant be a washout. I hope Federer and Djokovic go to it, though. Murray isnt a factor anyway, so yeah.

Did the ATP give any thoughts to perhaps scheduling Toronto & Cincy a week later this year? Although this would have not been the perfect solution & participation at Cincy may have suffered somewhat as a result, it would surely be better than the mass exodus we are witnessing now. This is particularly unfair to a player like Djokovic who is defending 1000 pts in the Rogers Cup and will now probably have to W/D or tank to avoid physical injury/exhaustion.

This is bound to happen when the length of the season is reduced(without reducing the number of major tournaments).

And when you talk about unfairness, surely it is more unfair to Federer, who has to defend 3000 points in three weeks at the end of the season.

Davydenko to win Toronto

[duong]

So far :

- Nadal's, Monfils's and Ferrero's withdrawals are not related to the Olympics

- Verdasco and Wawrinka lost early in the Olympics, we don't know why they withdrew (at least I didn't read that anywhere), that may be an injury, that may be "personal"

- Ferrer I don't know why he withdrew either

and such withdrawals could have happened without the Olympics anyway

if there's a "washout", we will know it in next days only.

Roddick's withdrawal is official :

you mean because he said he would retire if he can't enter Masters 1000 main draws ?

well I don't know he's had a baby 2 months ago : it's a specific period and people's opinions may change living such events

Upcoming tournaments

as I said, he said that one day but his opinions may change : many tennis players have said something about retiring and changed their mind later, and many people have said something and changed their opinion after having a baby

it seems that he played quite well during the Olympics, even in doubles

"Will Toronto be a washout?"

Nope, it'll be the 6th slam right after the 5th slam, Washington.

[henke007]

No Roddick is a def washout

[asmazif]

Should be fun (as long as someone like Pico doesn't win)

Murray/Pico in the final book it
