This week we will have a great tournament to watch : with 11 out of the top 20 players in the ATP, and more than 800 000 EURO in prize money, this one is set to be a good tournament.
Michael Youzhny is the defending champion in Rotterdam, and seed No 4. The Russian does not seem to have a difficult preview before the Quarterfinals, where it's possible for him to meet Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero (No. 7 seed).
The No. 1 seed in Rotterdam is Spaniard Raffael Nadal. This side of the draw seems to be one of the toughest, with player like Dmitry Tursunov (Nadal's opponent in the first round), Llayton Hewitt, Andreas Seppi, Nieminen, Verdasco and Baghdatis (the No. 8 seed and Marseille semifinalst). This Quarterfinal is the toughest on to predict, because there are a lot of good players, and most of them are on a good streak.
Another tough Quarterfinal to predict is the one in wich No. 3 seed, David Ferrer and seed No. 5, Berdych are involved. Ferrer will meet Ljubicic in the first round, in a match i think the Spaniard will win. A player to watch right here is German Phillip Kohlschreiber. He has a 10-2 record this year, showing a good tennis so far. Also present in this part of the draw is big server Ivo Karlovic, who will meet Oliver Rochus in the first round. I personally am considering a Berdych - Ferrer semifinal, but Kohlschreiber and Ljubicic are not to be underestimated.
The easiest quarterfinal to predict should be the lower one. Andy Murray is the No. 6 seed, and i don't think he will have too many problems reaching the quarterfinal, where i think he will meet Nikolai Davydenko, the second seed here in Rotterdam.
In the first round, the most exciting matches should be Soderling - Baghdatis (Both players played well in Marseille last week), Youzhny - Tipsarevic (i think Youzhny will win this one), Berdych - Ljubicic (Ljubicic is leading 2-1 in the head to head, but he is not in a great streak, Berdych is my favorite), Hewitt against Seppi (Hewitt is starting to play better, while Seppi is not that great at the moment) and Robredo against Mahut in a match that i think is open-ended, Mahut showing some good tennis last week in Marseille.
