Elias last official match was played the 18th october.
Really don't know, if he can compete after this longer break.
Ok, he surely played a lot of practice matches and test matches for the new 1.11 version.
But the suspense in a tournament match, especially WTT is different... hmm....

The same for my friend Elio, also here the break was longer.
In bocca al lupo cmq!

Fox, well, a super player. In this conditions, maybe the nr. 1 contender in this blue group.
But last time he lost the BIG matches. And also against the other great champs here on TE tour.

Really don't know Otlichno, but because of the longer breaks made by Elias and Elio maybe nr. 2 in this group.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

Moe maybe is still shocked from Voja's performance. But here I am really not sure...
Zeigs den Jungs Moe!!

Kyuuji will show, who is still nr. 1 here in ITST. And will take the rematch against C4ill..... maybe...

C4Ill, after his barely win against Mr. TENNIS ELBOW (Voja), is more confident, than he is anyway.
Mr. Sampras here on ITST TE tour.

Ugadalou, I don't know much about him. Just played two practice sets and that he is very open to help others players playing with them. Great and friendly guy. But to beat Kyuuji, Moe or C4Ill... I don't know...
________________________________________________________________________________________________

so my predictions are:

semifinal 1. from group red vs. 2. from group blue: kyuuji vs. Otlichno

semifinal 1. group blue vs. 2. from group red: TWM-Fox vs. C4Ill or Moe, very difficult to say.

Final: kyuuji vs. C4Ill or Moe

If Moe will reach the final, then I would say he will defeat kyuuji, in two sets, but close.
But if C4ill, then kyuuji will be to much on fire and will find a key, how to hit great passing shots against C4Ill's volley style. But he will be also ready for him in the group match. That's why I see also kyuuji as the nr. 1 in the group red.

Good luck guys

Interesting analysis Marco
This tournament is going to be huge and a nice conclusion to a pretty funny season.

I think both groups will be close : in the group with Fox, they all seem no train and not implicated a lot recently, but I'm sure they work hard to do a good performance

In our group, I'm really wondering about how will turn the Kyujii vs Vmoe clash For me, it's 50-50 !

I've seen Otlichno and Elias quite often online the last week or two (especially against each other, best of three sets ). I've played against Elias and he is playing well, the best since a couple of weeks or months. Otlichno seems to be in better form than Elias. Fox recently had a good match against Florian, only Elio seems to fall off a bit. I think it will be a close battle between Fox, Elias and Otlichno for the first two spots.

In our group, I'm really wondering about how will turn the Kyujii vs Vmoe clash For me, it's 50-50 !

Really curious about that match, too, as well as using Nadal against Llodra and lets see what Uga can do with Murray. Truly, our group is the group of death. I have to say that the votes are motivating me.

[Martan]

manutoo should add option to spectate matches like these, I would love to see them live!

[Robbin92]

My vote goes to Moe

[VMoe86]

First match in Red Group: VMoe86 (Nadal) defeats Ugadalou (Murray) 6-2, 6-1.

Could not have asked for a better start in the World Tour Finals, played a really good match from start to finish, but I also see some room for improvement. Uga had a cold start, regrouped at the end of first and start of second set, but this was not enough today. I think he could have played a better match, but it wasn't meant to be. Good luck in the remaining matches!

First set I was having a good start and Uga a pretty average one, so I quickly ran away with a 4-0 lead. Then Uga was starting to find his game and held comfortably, but as long as he was not getting into my service games this was no problem in the first set. I tried to keep points short by coming in on the right occasions, which worked well -- I wasn't great at the net, but solid at finishing points off there (9 out 14 for the whole match). So, after 4-0 both of us held and I won the first set.

In the second set Uga continued where he stopped in the first set and held for 1-0, put me also under pressure on my serve in the following game (a 30-30), but I prevailed and from then on it was one way traffic, helped by him making more mistakes than in the first set. I did not have to do anything special there anymore and clinched the victory.

[Ugadalou]

Well Moe summed it up pretty well but I want to congratulate him on his level.He showed me once again he is the man to beat this time of the year.

I entered the match rather poorly but at the same time VMoe was 100% from point one.After a few games I started playing better and realised I had to take the initiative,go for more and take the ball earlier and more aggresively.I had some success doing that but not consistently enough with Moe playing a solid and smart baseline game,mixing it up greatly with net play on the right moments.

Well played, it was an enjoyable game for me,good luck in your next matches.
I actually feel good about my current level and will give my best against kyuuji and C4iLL, with no pressure on my shoulders, since it appears I'm considered an underdog to qualify from this group.

First match in bluegroup: Fox def Eliomelma 7-5 6-3

Nothing to say, in last month i played only one training set and didn't expect nothing from first match. But in first set i could do more because he broke me on 4-4 and until this moment my serve wasn't so good. Second set he came often to the net and won the match. So if i increase at least my serve level i will create problems to my next opponents Congrats to Fox but i feel that he isn't to his level of 2 monts ago.

[Clog]

I'm new on the tour, but I played twice against Kyuuji, C4iLL and Otlichno, once with Elias. Even if I recently won against Otlichno in a practice match (0-6 6-0 6-1, strangest match ever), I have to say that he's the one I found the most impressive, maybe due to his strategy. I won't say more about it because it seems that he's not as known as I thought, and that's probably one of his strongest points.
Anyway, I'm surprised that I'm the only one who voted for him.

Good luck to all of you, guys !

[C4iLL]

He's the winner of Roland Garros but as he hasn't played the tour since Wimbledon, he's less known that the others

[VMoe86]

Unbelievable: Last week on Monday at 2 PM CET the draw has been released and only two matches have been played so far.
