18 days to go, three spots still up for grab, the 2005 Masters Cup in Shanghai is on the way.




Spanish teenager Rafael Nadal has pulled out of the ATP Swiss Indoors tournament in Basel this week, leaving Guillermo Coria of Argentina to head the draw.



French Open semifinalist Nikolai Davydenko will be hoping for a home crowd boost at this week's St. Petersburg Open after a disappointing third-round finish at the Madrid Masters.



Croatia's Ivan Ljubicic reserved tickets for Seychelles before he played Metz two weeks ago but he might want to change plans after a 16-match winning streak1 and a jump of 8 place in the top standings, meaning he could qualify for the year-end Masters Cup.


Gaston Gaudio has kept alive his hopes of claiming one of the three remaining Masters Cup berths2 with a 6-3 4-6 6-3 defeat of Frenchman Arnaud Clement3 at the Lyon Grand Prix.
