James Blake, Safin, and Ljubicic won today at the Thailand Open. Nevertheless, Blake is still in need of reaching the final to make significant inroads towards his dream of playing in the year ending’s tennis championship, Tennis Masters Cup. James faces stiff competition from Ancic and Baghdatis, the fact that Robredo has also won today in Bambai is not helping James. James faces Nieminen tomorrow for a place in the semis and potential match up with Marat Safin.
