The big boys are back in action with this week’s Masters 1000 tournament in Montreal. I’ve updated my rankings and generated some predictions for this week’s matches. My system doesn’t give any credit to defending champions, so Andy Murray is in a distant third, while Djokovic’s chances of winning the tournament are lessened a bit by finding himself in the same half of the bracket as Federer.
If you’re visiting for the first time, or the first time since last week, you may be interested in the variety of content I posted over the weekend:
- Friday: The Simon/Monfils 61-shot rally in perspective
- Saturday: The Problem With “Unforced Errors”
- Sunday: Do Points Get Shorter as the Match Progresses?
Once you’ve caught up, enjoy my forecast for this week’s Rogers Cup, below.
