Top five favourites of Shanghai Rolex Masters as well as BNP Paribas Masters
Much has been debated about who is going to win the upcoming United States Open championship 2010 which is going to start in the month of July. However, no one has so far discussed the rest of the championships besides the hard court tournament that also needs to be highlighted. So given below are few of the upcoming tournaments as well as their predictions with respect to the top favourite players:
Shanghai Rolex Masters championship
The tournament is held in China. After its opening season, Shanghai was granted a masters 1000 trophy. As far as the tournament’s top favourites for this season are concerned, here is the list of top five players who have greater chances of winning the championship.
1. Thomas Berdych
In spite of the fact that Berdych has been out of the tennis scene for most of the season 2010, however with his return news, everyone is hoping to see Berdych once again back in action by grabbing a 1000 trophy.
2. Roger Federer
The Swiss tennis master has already triumphed on a number of occasions earlier in this tournament. In case, Federer enters the Shanghai championship with the same declining form without even a single victory to his name, he would be definitely not the top contender however; he has still managed to get the top spot in this list as a result of his past performances.
3. Andy Murray
The Scottish tennis ace, Andy Murray is fond of the hard surfaces and therefore he is definitely going to enjoy the upcoming Shanghai championship. It is expected that he is going to perform well on one of his favourite places in spite of the fact that he has not played his best tennis this season but still the man has got healthy chances at the Shanghai Championship.
4. Rafael Nadal
The Spaniard tennis ace, Rafael Nadal is another favourite to win the Shanghai tournament. However, with his back to back participation in a couple of championships this season, there is every possibility that the 2010 grass court Grand Slam champion might be exhausted enough to grab a major victory.
5. Marin Cillic
There is no doubt about the fact that, Marin Cillic has been constantly working hard on his game however in the presence of all the top listed players, his chances though bleak are yet not impossible beyond any measure of speculations.
BNP Paribas Masters championship
The BNP Paribas Masters is held in Paris. The tournament is recognized as one of the greatest master series championships and is the final one on the calendar of the season. So, let us discuss the top five contenders for the competition;
1. Novak Djokovic
Novak's form has been uncertain all through this season anyhow the good news for Djokovic’s fans is that he is regaining day by day and there is every possibility that he might shock everyone else towards the end of the year and definitely a victory towards the end of the season would place him high as far as the ATP world ranking is concerned.
2. Andy Murray
By the time when the BNP Paribas championship will start, Murray will already be tired enough and in case of loosing at the Flushing Meadows in the fourth Grand Slam of the year, the Scottish tennis ace will surely be looking to grab a title towards the end of the season.
3. Thomas Berdych
At this stage, Tomas could be battling for a place in the Barclay's World championship Finals; however his body might be fatigued as well. His chances are closely interlinked with his fitness and injury issues. In case, Tomas Berdych manages to recover well, then he definitely has high hopes of winning the BNP Paribas tournament.
4. Robin Soderling
According to the experts, if Robin kept on performing well, he can undoubtedly pick up a trophy in the form of BNP Paribas championship.
5. Juan Martin Del Potro
In spite of the fact, that the winner of the 2009 US Open, is likely to return prior to the BNP Paribas tournament, however it will definitely take some time for Juan to get back to his winning shape so nothing can be said unless he steps on the hard court for playing his first tournament after the injury.
