PLAYERS MAKE WORLD CUP PREDICTIONS
It is astounding the number of players who are interested in soccer! Roger Marat Safin both had to choose between soccer and tennis as their professions, and Gaston Gaudio loves soccer too. Tommy Robredo's blog even mentioned he wanted a morning match yesterday so he could watch BARCELONA v ARSENAL that night. He mentions a number of players and their favourite teams too.
Anyway, ATP Masters Series TV, an official supplier of exclusive cool stuff like videos and interviews, has a number of interviews with players on who they think would win the World Cup starting in under a month! For more information click here.
That's all for now! Very cool pictures from Hamburg coming soon.
