Draw Here Well, looking at Roddick's draw, to win it, he's likely to have to go: 1R: Serra 2R: Martin 3R: Hewitt 4R: Baghdatis QF: Gasquet/Fish/Ljubicic SF: Nadal F: Federer Can't see him pulling those off tbh. Murray on the other hand, his path looks like this early... 1R: Qualifier 2R: Melzer/Di Mauro 3R: Vliegen 4R: Davydenko QF: Nalbandian/Ginepri/Haas Looks like he can go deep into this if he doesn't do something stupid in those first 3/4 matches. :ok Thoughts ?:tongue2

Re: US Open Mens - 28th Aug - 10th Sept Quick thoughts from the other thread... Baggy has a tough section, 2nd round, night match with Agassi could be a cracker but I'd still fancy a 4th round with Roddick. Mmm, I want to fancy Roddick to get revenge there. Next section looks to be between Gasquet, Ljubicic and djokovic to set up a quarter with A-Rod/Baggy. Really not sure about that, it needs thinking about. Bottom quarter looks to be all about Nadal. Really nothing there I think can really hurt him. I'm thinking about backing Nadal again:ok.

1R: Serra 2R: Martin 3R: Hewitt 4R: Baghdatis QF: Gasquet/Fish/Ljubicic SF: Nadal F: Federer

I think you've got the draw a bit messed up there mate. Hewitt is in a lower section, 3rd round is likely to be Verdasco (although he pulled out injured today) or Santoro or a qualifier;). Hewitt is injured anyway, I doubt he'll play (if he does it will be poorly). I keep looking at Nadals draw and I really like it - it's almost perfect building him up into the tournament and I can't see him being fully tested until the semis which could be a toughie. Perhaps worth an E/W double with........you'll have to wait;)
