Have you noticed at the TC Open that there is one player in the TOP 20...James Blake.
In contrast, 11 of the TOP 20 players are at Dubai. Obviously, I am in jest with the sandbagging reamark, but I wonder what would lead a player Ranked 6th in the world, too NOT go to Dubai ? Except for being afraid of Rafa and Roger of course.
Dubai
Ranking Points 300
Prize $300,000
TC Open
Ranking Points 175
Prize 61,850
If Blake could win Dubai, it'd shoot him to the 3rd Spot in the Rankings (sans that Roger and Rafa problem).
