Congrats to the elf. Great season. However, he still can't beat the top guys yet.

Thanks for the work Burro.

I still hope Nadal withdraws given his current condition. A guy like Simon will be a better contrast given Nadal's propensity to hit short balls when he can't move well (or generally more true on fast courts when he has less time).

Dream groups:

A
Federer
Davydenko
Tsonga
Simon

B
Djokovic
Murray
Roddick

Great group of players here. A nice international flavor. 2008 has been all about shifting roles and the emergence of the baby balls. This group represents the changing balance of old guard vs new guard. Very interesting.
