WARNING: NOT FOR DIE-HARD FED-FANATICS!

Before I move on from the world number 1, I’d like to say that I wasn’t overly impressed with Federer’s speech during the ceremony. “I can cry like Roger,” Murray said. “It’s just a shame I can’t play like him.” How many players do you think nodded their heads when they heard this?

I want to comment on Murray’s approach to attempting to win, let’s say, the last two Australian Opens. Last year he played an exhibition in Abu Dhabi and a warm up event in Doha. He won both, beating Nadal once and Federer twice. He was coming off a great 2008 where he won two Masters and reached the US Open final. In Oz, he lost to Fernando Verdasco in the 4th round.

Sean Randall gives his third round take on the Australian Open.

Notes: Should be called the Spanish Open with four Spaniard leading the seeding and five seeded total.

Thanks to Nikolay Davydenko, there won’t be a Roger Federer v. Rafael Nadal final in Doha.

Sean Randall peers into his crystal ball to see what’s to come in 2010.

Notes: Wildcard to Moroccan veteran Younes El Aynaoui; not a whole lot standing between a Federer-Nadal final; two-time defending champ Andy Murray takes a pass?; former champs in the field are Federer (2005-06) and El Aynaoui (2002).

Who’s playing where early on in 2010? Sean Randall has the answers.

Djokovic has captured titles at the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships (d. Dave Ferrer), the Serbia Open 2009 (d. Luke Kubot), the China Open (d. Marin Cilic) in Beijing and at last week’s Davidoff Swiss Indoors Basel (d. Federer).

Novak Djokovic and Gael Monfils will battle for the Paris Indoors title Sunday.

Sean Randall takes a stab at predicting the Saturday semifinals at the Paris Tennis Masters.

Sean Randall breaks down the Friday quarterfinals from Paris.

What a day of drama at the Paris Indoors. Roger Federer gets upset and Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal nearly join him at the exits.
