it started on monday and once again i'm rooting for federer.

what i don't know is if federer wins and nadal gets eliminated early if roger has the chance of getting back at #1 at least for the reminder of the year.

I was looking forward to the masters but didn't know it'd start so soon. By the way didn't Federer say he's done for the year after the US open?

yeah, i thought he wasn't going to play, but i think he feels himself in good shape and sees a good opportunity of winning the masters.

federer over tsonga (obvious)
nadal over gasquet (obvious)
monfils over roddick (not a surprise)
karlovic over djokovic (surprise)
martin del potro over nalbandian (also not a surprise)

Well Murray wins the tournament.

Murray beat Roger Federer in the semifinals, while Simon defeated top-ranked Rafael Nadal to reach his fourth final this year. Their victories denied a fifth Nadal-Federer final of 2008.

"I know you guys would have liked to have seen a Roger-Rafa final but you brought a great atmosphere, so thanks for coming," Murray told the crowd at the Madrid Arena, which hosted the tournament for the final time as it moves to the newly built "Caja Magica" (Magic Box) next year.

man, that sucks, i really wanted federer to get back at the top, i'll have to wait for next year.

i think murray deserved the win in a tournament, he had a pretty good year.
