    Surprised there's no thread yet since it already started and Venus and Isner are both already gone...

    I expect this to be an epic showdown between Djoker and Nadal. I know, I know, way to go out on a limb, but at this point I think we have a year or two of these guys winning all the majors. I don't see anyone on the horizon threatening them for a while. Fed, Tsonga, Delpo, and Andy Murray all have shots at them on any given day, but the target is small and not very likely.

    Know very little about the women's brackets, but I have a sort of bfactoresque curiosity about the noises Sharapove makes in other parts of her life.

    WUG OT?

    And GG Isner, seriously the only hope for a deep American run and he gets booted in round one at a place built for him?

    A) Andy Roddick tilts the shit out of me! Of any American athletes out there he is by far the hardest for me to root for. It's like watching the French soccer team play. Always a lack of effort.

    B)I would just love some kind of women's final with two hot chicks. (prolly Russian factory)

    C)lol Andy Murray

    And ughhhhhh Isner! Has/when does Donald Young play?

    It's tough to have hope in Isner.

    Venus is done.

    I hope Clijsters wins the Womens, followed by Woziancki (I think Clijsters will win)

    I hope Federer wins the Mens, followed by Djokovic (I think Djokovic smokes everybody)

    Wake me up for week two.

    Djokovic over Federer, Nadal over Murray, zzz

    Can't believe Djokovic all of a sudden isn't the favorite to win the tournament in most experts' minds. Nadal is the best player in the world on clay, Djoker is the best player in the world on any other surface.

    Well the bookies don't agree. Djoker is +240 to ship it, Nadal +300. I honestly think it is a coinflip between them in the final. -200 for either of the Big 2 to win, seems like lock of the century to me.

    Ryan Harrison looks pretty good for the future but too bad he has no hope in the 2nd round.

    Pretty crazy to think that Fed locks up number 1 if he can ship this tournament.

    Skyroller you should give up that dream of Fed ever winning a slam again. You might sleep better at night :p

    All the top seeded women who aren't random eastern euros/russians are dropping like flies, and all the men are smashing face as expected. Harrison played well, but Novak is still too much at this stage in his career and prolly will be for a while. Still, 6-4 6-4 6-4 is better than a lot of people do against Novak and he can be pleased with that as he starts the hardcourt season.

    I really think Roddick has found his niche in talk radio. have you ever heard his show with bobby bones? used to hate the guy but love him on that show, he is pretty hilarious at times

    Rosol up a break in the 5th set over Nadal, serving 3-2.

    Rosol ranked #100 in the ATP.
    Singles record: 2012 - 11-13; 2011 - 6-13

    This might be a mild upset.

    Pretty sure Rosol is my favorite player right now. Sick serve. Sick forehand. Im betting on him the rest of the way.

    I guess slamming into a guy on the changeover just because you are losing is standard behavior.

    Anyone know what the pre-match odds were for Rosol? +2500? More?

    More like +1500. I dont think many betting sites offer better than +1500 in matches v heavy favourites.
