Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, what an amazing stadium

Ok, so maybe I wasn’t actually at the Paris masters, but last year I was pretty close! I was in Paris for badminton and was literally one foot away from Gael Monfils who was getting something to eat after one of his matches! Anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…

The Paris Masters is one of the top level tournaments after the grand slams. I always think of it of the one the big players miss because the first couple of years I watched it, Federer and Nadal were missing because of their long seasons and match wins. I guess I still kind of have that impression of it, almost like it isnt that important, but it is equally as important as any of the other masters 1000’s!

The order of play for Tuesday is promising. My pick of the day is definitely Juan Martin Del Potro v Mario Ancic. I haven’t seen much of Ancic lately and Del Potro hasn’t regained the form that won him the US Open title yet. Other good matches include

  • Tursunov v Djokovic (who is just off winning a title Sunday in Basal, beating Mr. Federer)
  • Kohlschreiber v the inform Youzhny (reached the final in last week)
  • Nadal playing either Mahut or Mathieu (Im already picking Nadal to beat Monaco first, naturally enough like) oh and
  • Also have a look out for Nalbandian, he’s been out with injurty and surgery most of the year.

Live scores are here

Enjoy :)
