The final ATP Masters 1000 event is over. The faster and slicker court at Palais Omnisports in Bercy produced some stunning upsets and great matches were on display, which includes the drama. Now that players a left Paris by displaying great tennis, they are heading into London for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, the conclusion of ATP 2010 season.
With the absence of Rafael Nadal, defending champion and No.2 seed Novak Djokovic was on the course of strong showing in Bercy after he failed to defend his title in Basel. But the No.2 seed wasn't able to sustain such kind of performance in Basel as he was stunned by local talent Michael Llodra in front of his home supporters.
Having said that, the Bnp Paribas Masters title was handled by different hands since 1972. Only Arthur Ashe able to defend the Paris title, winning it in back-to-back years, 1970-1971. Former world No.1s, Boris Becker and Marat Safin won this event three times. Did I predicted it right? My pick for BNP Paribas Masters Champion.
