Tsonga, Del Potro Make Shanghai Masters Cup Debut Sunday
Rising stars Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Juan Martin Del Potro are scheduled to be in action Sunday as the Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai opens for business.ADHEREL
The eight-man round-robin field will focus on the Gold Group on the day one.
Tsonga, who was the last person to gain direct entry into the field thanks to an impressive title-run in Paris, meets the super-steady Nikolay Davydenko. Del Potro will be first to take the court against Novak Djokovic.
The 20-year-old Del Potro has won 36 of his last 41 matches, I think he’ll get the better of Novak. I also like Tsonga, who’s 7-3 vs. Top 10 players in 2008, to beat Dayvdenko.
On Monday in the Red Group, top dog Roger Federer faces Gilles Simon and Andy Roddick meets Andy Murray.
