The 8th spot is not a discretionary pick. The rule is

1) Selection List. The Selection List for the event shall be:
a) The top 7 players in the ATP 2008 Race as of the Monday after the last ATP
Tournament of the calendar year; followed by
b) Up to 2 Grand Slam winners of that year, in order of their positions, positioned
between 8 and 20 in the ATP 2008 Race as of that Monday; followed by
c) Players positioned 8 and below in the ATP 2008 Race as of that Monday.

Say you have two random grand slam winners, who end up ranked 15 and 16, respectively. Then the number 16 guy gets screwed by rule a (top 7) and rule b (random GS winner ranked 15)? That seems kind of odd. I wonder if they would only take the top 6 in such a case.
