Yep, although to be fair to edy he hasn't so much 'gone with dogs' in a chasing style as just completely GOATed the last three rounds.

In a controversial and exciting ending to the penultimate Masters 1000 tipping comp of year, the remarkably consistent smb360 walks away with his 3rd tournament win in the last 4 events by toppling edy lastminute.com to land 1st place, following on from his victories in Rome and Montreal, extending his lead in the overall table by a further 6 points to lead by 14 from 2nd place bb66, making for a mouth watering finale in Paris. It is possible the Masters title could be decided by the second tie-break rule putting smb firmly in Pole position in 2 weeks time.

In the Runners-Up spot in Shanghai this week finishes bb66 for the 3rd time this season after his 2nd spots in Monte Carlo and Madrid, bb66 must be sick of the sight of smb's heels in recent weeks after failing to capitalise on his Indian Wells title some 7 months ago, but his shrewd tipping all season long sees him still in with a strong chance of winning the 2013 Masters 1000 crown, the bridesmaid may well get married in Bercy after allHappy

And finally In third place is the controversial man on of the moment himself, edy, in only his second tournament had victory within his grasp before stage fright got the better of him moments before start of playMischief, saw him slip to Bronze position. A brilliant effort nevertheless in your first full tournament.

Realistically, the Paris Masters will be a three way shootout between smb360, bb66 and mouse trap, with just 17 points separating 1st from 3rd, a fitting end to a competitive season. See you in 2 weeks.Happy
