ATP next week

I start with the Artois Championships because I am interested in it. Firstly Federer is missing but playing somewhere else, which leads me to think he needs a huge confidence boosting! That doesn't bode well for Wimbledon. The first part of the draw has Marat Safin - yeah! I hope he does well here, other than that the first half of the draw doesn't interest me that much, but I still have to cheer on the British players and Kei Nishikori!
On the secong section I hope Roddick shows his Grass court prowess and hopefully he'll beat Nadal! But of course I do hope Murray does well because he hasn't been having a great time recently. I don't know what to think about with Gasquet because he is so unpredictable - but then I remember the match he played against Roddick in Wimbledon last year and I have to continue liking him. Hopefully Ancic will also get back on form. I'll also cheer on Feliciano Lopez and John Isner.
I'm also supporting Daniel Evans and Joshua Goodall in the second quarter of the draw and of course my favourite player Novak Djokovic! He should be fine here but Hewitt may cause a problem.
Like Federer Davydenko has avoided the big names and chose to play in Warsaw. Which I'll hopefully see Juan Monaco taking the crown their!
Federer has decided to join the Halle tournament which sees Mikhail Youzhny play Dmitry Tursunov in the first round! I am very dissapointed that they have to knock each other out so early. Tommy Haas will also make a welcome return to the tour whilst hopefully Blake does well also. Hopefully my favourites will do well but Federer is still the favourite here!
