2010 Internazionali BNL d'Italia Men's Preview

NOTE: This is my own version of draw analysis on 2010 Internazionali BNL d'Italia. In this self-version of draw analysis, I will pick who I think will be 2010 Internazionali BNL d'Italia Men's Champion.

Rafael Nadal is back as the defending champion in the second ATP World Tour Masters 1000 played on clay. He has a 22-1 win-loss record in this event and with a win here he will have his 17th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 shield, equaling Andre Agassi's title record.

Roger Federer is also entered in this event since his loss to Tomas Berdych at Miami Masters. He is also attempting to win his first title here in Rome after runner-up finishes in 2003 and 2006 and equaling Agassi's record of 17th Masters 1000 shield.

Since Nadal is ranked No.3 in the world, he is in Federer's part of the draw. Which of the two top men player will be able to chase Agassi's record? Will Novak Djokovic be able to take advantage of this situation and try to win this event for the second time since 2008?

NOTE: This is my own version of draw analysis on 2010 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters. In this self-version of draw analysis, I will pick who I think will be 2010 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters Champion.

The clay court season has already begun! The ATP World Tour is in the third Masters 1000 tournament of the year and Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters is one of the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event played on clay.

So, what can I expect from these tournament? World No.1 Roger Federer did not enter this event, therefore Novak Djokovic, the runner-up of this event last year, is the top seed, followed by the five-time defending champion Rafael Nadal, who is vying for his sixth straight title and looking for his first title since Rome last year, is the second seed.

This is Nadal's court, so how will other players get a fair share and a shot for a title in this event? Will Djokovic be able to solve the Nadal's puzzle? How about from the little-bit-slumping-lately Murray, will he be able to find his feet on clay?

Just got home! After long hours of work having a very busy schedule, it's nice to have a very good rest, right? It's a blessing that our office is walking distance from home. 25 minutes of walk going home is some sort of a relaxation as you can exercise, breathe some fresh air, and see different views.

Since nobody is at home yet, I need to cook our dinner.

Oh, my sister is already here! She's done cooking the rice and about to cook our entree this evening. But she was requested me to do so. After a minute of rest, I change my clothes off and went to the kitchen. Here's what I prepared, hope you like it.
