Leko is obviously in a really good shape (just take today’s victory against Rublevsky- really impressing!) therefore he is my favourite to actually win the tournament.
I think he’ll be facing Radjabov in the final cuz he is a better rapid player than Ivanchuk is.
It’s just too great an opportunity to leave it to the kiddies. I would love to see those old twins Ivanchuk and Gelfand in the final. Both have shown their skills.
I find Leko and Ivanchuk to be the most interesting of these players and would like to see them in the final.
Leko is the favorite for my. Ivanchuk is also a brilliant player, but he loses the control of his nerves in important moments (for example: the match with Ponomariov).I consider the other two very hard players( but not brilliant players) that have arrived where they are with a great effort… and when I write this I think mainly in Gelfand. I predict 1)Leko 2)Ivanchuk 3)Radjabov 4)Gelfand
