Wow, the Arabs must have spent a lot of money this year on the top three, and had none left for anyone else.

I would say it's 90% that he will, but no official confirmation anywhere.

It's usually a banker for most of the Top 10 to make an appearance in Dubai. Money talks I suppose.

Thanks for the TV schedule, Allan, at least this one won't be live streams or live scores. Sky Sports are doing the three day event beginning on New Year's Day so there's good tennis to come in the next couple of weeks.

Doha seems to have been downgraded from a 500 to a 250 point tournament. Nevertheless Andy's ranking points will go up 140 if he wins here, replacing Queens... but that doesn't much dent the 3000 he's behind Djoko: with the new points system, the Grand Slams count more than ever, as do the Masters...
