Six Battle For Four Remaining Spots
Andre Agassi heads to Stockholm and Paris in an effort to secure a spot in
Tennis Masters Cup. Last year in Houston, Agassi was the runner up to Roger
Federer.
Marat Safin moved to sixth position in the INDESIT ATP 2004 Race with a win
over David Nalbandian in the final of Masters Series Madrid on Sunday.
Safin moved past Tim Henman with his Madrid title, and now leads the Brit by
18 points. Safin is 19 points behind fourth place Carlos Moya and 15 behind
fifth place Guillermo Coria.
Safin is one of six players battling for one of the four remaining open spots
in Tennis Masters Cup. Safin is joined by Nalbandian, Henman, Moya, Coria and
Andre Agassi in contention for a spot in the year-end championship with just
two weeks left in the season.
The top three in the INDESIT Race, Roger Federer, Andy Roddick and Lleyton
Hewitt, have all booked a spot in Houston along with Gaston Gaudio, who
punched his ticket as a Grand Slam champion with his win at Roland Garros.
