After the 2 round of the Dubaï Open, we already know that only 4 players can win the title. Furthermore, the quarter-finals won't have any direct consequence on the rankings, because everybody (except huss) picked the 4 seeded.

The top 3 :


Three scénarii :
- Federer loses in QF or SF : kayoo83 wins
- Federer loses in final : Vincerick wins
- Federer wins the tournament : ChipAndChargeDaez and josemobilette (ex kaisersauze, he changed his name) win

Nelson just met kayoo83.

LLT, Nelson : your good answers ratio is 87.5% (21/24) after the second round, it's certainly a LLTL record. However the start of the season was tough for you with the debacle at Doha and the disaster at the AO... How do you explain that ? Do you fear the anti-doping control (blood variation check) ?

kayoo83 : I don't know exactly what is doping in the LLTL (I can't afford to pay players neither) but I fully trust its anti-doping policy and transparency as for the ATP. Unfortunatly, the reason is more simple : I played secure on the top players unlike the AO, and I followed several players these last weeks which were profitable : Stako, Baghdatis and a little bit of patriotism with Gasquet who is still preparing the Davis Cup.

Nelson : Only 4 players remain for the title, all the bets are similar. Federer's performance will decide. We can see this situation as a way to reward the good gamblers on the first rounds. What do you think about the LLTL choice for this tournament ?

kayoo83 : Obviously we will have to be careful with the small tournaments played by the big 4, especially when the best outsiders are not here (Nish, Raonic, Dimitrov, Wawrinka and Tsonga (laugh)). The gap between them and the rest of the world is so incredible, nobody really believes a suprise could happen during the first rounds. As long as Djokovic will be alive, we will have to give priority to the ATP 250/500 where the big 4 is not all present, in order to obtain more heterogeneous bets. But hope still exists : Nadal was defeated by the fanciful Fabio last week.
