BKK draw

[Sept.22] — Draw: pretty-much my wish-list! [ATP Rankings as of today]
“On paper” Milos meets:
1. Bye 2. M. Matosevic [60] 3. J. Nieminen [39] 4. R. Gasquet [14] 5. J.Tipsarevic [9]
Meanwhile, Gasquet has :
1. Bye 2. G. Dimitrov [59] 3. B. Tomic [42] 4. M. Raonic [15] 5. —-
Theoretically no tougher than Milos’ draw, but perhaps more interesting: three young bloods in a row.
And Tipsarevic meets:
1. Bye 2. R. Haase [49] 3. F. Verdasco [23] 4. G. Simon [20] 5. M. Raonic [15]
Watch out for “ringer” Kevin Anderson [35] to come through Qualifying and meet either R. Haase or G. Monfils or J. Nieminen or G. Dimitrov! (And of course Monfils is a bit of a ringer himself!)
A couple of other matches to watch:
Round 1: I. Karlovic [90] v. M. Matosevic [60]
Round 2: G. Monfils [44] v. V. Troicki [31]
Main draw first round begins Monday; Milos will play second round Wednesday or Thursday. [Meanwhile he and his team are getting some well-deserved R&R time at the tropical paradise of Koh Samui, a one-hour flight from Bangkok.] Looking forward to some exciting matches! Go Milos!
