ATP: 2005 masters

[Bruce]

We have all the 2005 season, I suggest you to post now in January who are the 8 you think will enter the masters.
At the end we´ll see who was closest.

If you like, you can place them in order. Here are mine:
1) Federer
2) Safin
3) Coria
4) Roddick
5) Ferrero
6) Hewitt
7) Nalbandian
8) Blake

Let me dream a little...

1° Nalbandian
2° Federer
3° Ferrero
4° Moyá<br>5° Kuerten
6° Safin
7° Henman
8° Phillipoussis

[Catriel]

Let me think....

1° Federer
2° Coria
3° Safin
4° Haas
5° Nalbandian
6° Cañas<br>7° Roddick
8° Ferrero

Wow Bruce, James Blake is a bit of a longshot don't you think? For me, he's top 20 at best but if you're right I'll happily come back and eat humble pie at the end of the year.....
However, my random guess is:

1)Federer
2)Hewitt
3)Roddick
4)Safin
5)Coria
6)Moya
7)Nalbandian
8)Haas (he's getting back to his best, outside bet for the Aus Open perhaps?)

The inclusion of Nalbandian depends totally on his ability to stay fit, which was the main reason why he failed to qualify in 2004. If he suffers similar injuries, I see either Agassi/Henman making it instead

1 Federer
2 Ferrero
3 Coria

6 Safin
7 Jonansson
8 Henman

Interesting that noone listed Agassi in their list of top 10. I am not sure I would of either, no, I take that back, I probably would have. I expect him to be a big factor this year.
