ARTICLE Once Again, It Comes Down to the Masters Cup - By MaliVai Washington
Every tennis player who is good enough to make the professional level has two long-term dreams: one is to win a major, and -- for a select few who actually have the talent and the ability -- the other is to be No. 1.
[....]
This is the fourth consecutive year that the No. 1 spot will be determined by the final event, which has to make the ATP and the tennis world very happy.
[....]
This year, really only Roddick and Juan Carlos Ferrero have a legitimate shot at finishing in the top spot. Roger Federer would have to go undefeated in Houston, and Roddick would have to go 0-3 for Federer to finish No. 1. There's no way that's going to happen.
It's going to come down to who plays the best in Houston: Ferrero or Roddick. It would be great for American tennis if Roddick were able to finish the year as No. 1. Just imagine the excitement in Spain if Ferrero became the first Spaniard to finish the year as No. 1.
The great thing about the Masters Cup is that it includes the best eight players in the world. While only Roddick and Ferrero will battle for No. 1, there are six others who could play spoiler: Federer, Agassi, Guillermo Coria, Rainer Schuettler, Carlos Moya and David Nalbandian. Those six other players also are battling and jockeying for year-end positions. Although they won't finish No. 1, there is still a lot at stake -- including a ton of prize money.
