Go soderling! Crush hewitt and send him out of the top 150! If sod makes it to round 3, he has a potential clash Tomic. Now that will be a popcorn match.

Rusty can trouble Sod if he's not in pain, so maybe Sod wouldn't be able to crush Hewitt. I hope Sod does not become too tired from playing lengthy matches, as he'll not make it to the QFs where Nole awaits.

Nole will reach the semis and probably crush Federer.
Looking forward to it. I doubt that Fed's mind games would help him.
Djoko is looking for revenge.
With the weak draw (quarter) that Fed has, I have very little hope that anyone in his Quarter could pose a threat. So he should breeze into the semis to meet his first tough opponent.
Ajde Nole!

Sod is no threat to Nole...if by any chance Sod reaches the quarters Nole will trash him...

puhh that was close for Söderling, Petzschner's game really troubled Söderling and made him very cautious and passive. I've never seen so many bh-slice duels before..
And the tough road for Söderling continues with Hewitt..should be another hard match.
