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.

 

[Tennis-Engineer]

I think Andreev has a good chance to win it.

 

[Tommy fan]

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

 

[ChinoRios4Ever]

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

 

[GlennMirnyi]

Andreev can only win chess tournaments.

 

[Adler]

Darcis has this one in the bag.

Oh my god, who am I kidding

 

[Bilbo]

Kolhschreiber vs. Andreev final imo

 

[RagingLamb]

cilic. why not?

 

[Jimnik]

Lee :bounce:

 

[Tzar]

Vamos Clement and Lee please :rocker2:

 

[scarecrows]

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

Allez PHM

 

[TankingTheSet]

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

 

[spriwi]

Andreev i guess...

 

[leng jai]

Berrer.

 

[Alonsofz]

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

Same here

 

[Action Jackson]

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

Local lad the Bavarian Kohli at an early guess.

 

[Klaas_nalbandian]

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

 

[Taz Warrior]

I can see Kohli defending his title here

 

[Nathaliia]

Monfils or El Aynaoui.
