Prediction Time: Osaka Open and the Shanghai Masters

Shanghai Masters

I want Roger to win this one and I think he can achieve that.  Although this year has been a bit difficult for him I still believe he has the chops to land another title (this would be his 18th, if he's successful), and a Master's one at that!  Andy Murray has also been playing impressively in this tournament, and he holds a 7-5 head-to-head lead over Roger.  So I think it's going to be an interesting match because the man who wants it most will definitely win!



Osaka Open


It's rare for two veterans over the age of 35 to meet in a final of a WTA Tour. But it's possible, and this week, it happens!  Tamarine Tanasugarn is 35 years old.  Kimiko Date Krumm is 40.  Physically, I think Tamarine has the edge because her matches have been considerably shorter while Kimiko had to slug out three long sets to defeat both Shahar Peer and Samantha Stosur.  However, if Kimiko still has some has some gas left, she should be able to tame Tamarine.  So, it's going to be a very interesting match tomorrow - a virtual slugfest!
