The BNP Paribas Masters event in Paris, France is the last Masters Series event of the year. A few players are trying to set themselves up for the final spots in the year-end championships in London. This tournament will also feature the last time Fabrice Santoro and Marat Safin take the court. UPDATE: James Blake defeated Santoro in the first round. The "Magician" is done. Its still a possiblility "The Magician" will be back for the Australian Open in January. Also it seems like a lot of people don't believe Safin will stay retired, but in all reality he's checked out mentally years ago. So he should just call it quits.
All the big names are playing this week: Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Del Potro, Davydenko, Verdasco, Tsonga, Soderling, Gonzalez, Cilic, Simon, and so on. The only 2 players that I noticed not present are Andy Roddick and David Ferrer who are out with boo-boos.
My early prediction is Murray over Nadal in the final.
