Cincinnati Masters Final:

Roger Federer vs. Novak Djokovic

Two of my favourite players. If I were to cheer in the final at Cincinnati, half of my face would be painted with a half-cross in red and the other half in three horizontal stripes. I would guess that Federer would claim the title in three sets but I was hoping Djokovic would take the crown because he has been in drought for quite some time now. Federer, on the other hand, has not only won the French Open and Wimbledon recently, but also regained his No. 1 ranking. Djokovic has since been shunned to No.4. Therefore I think he deserves this title, at least before the US Open kicks off.

Everyone has been eyeing Murray for months now. Please pay more attention to the Serb.

I looked at this post and I thought it's too short so I decided to add a little something.

As you may have heard (not sure if you care), Roger Federer won the Cincinnati title on Sunday, beating Novak Djokovic at 6-1 7-5, so here is the current top 5 ATP ranking:

1) Roger Federer 12,040

2) Andy Murray 9,610

3) Rafael Nadal 9,025

4) Novak Djokovic 7,660

5) Andy Roddick 5,720

The next big event in tennis is the Grand Slam US Open which starts next week. That's gonna be something to watch on tv! I'm also quite excited to catch the Malaysia Open this September. Of course that event coincides with Thailand Open but many top players are gonna be in Malaysia; Nikolay Davydenko, Fernando Verdasco, Robin Soderling, Gael Monfils, and so on. I wonder who's playing at Thailand Open this year...

Oooh, I just went to the Thailand Open official website. The confirmed players are Marat Safin, Jo Wilfried Tsonga and Rafael Nadal! Wow, now that's more like it. Hmm, Djokovic played there last year, wonder if he's playing again this year.
