I'm interested to see how Blake fairs on grass this week in the Davis Cup versus Chile. Blake for the last few months has been on fire winning a couple titles and making his first masters series final. He also had a very good showing in Miami. He's never really had the results on grass however I think his revitalized game could possibly translate well on grass. He takes the ball quite early, especially on his returns. Plus, his assets such as his speed and quickness around the court are vital on such a fast surface.

I don't think he wil do well. He is too much of a baseliner. He will do better if he comes to the net more. IMHO.

It's not as if Massu and Gonzalez are known for their net prowess. I think James could win both his matches. Andy is more of a question mark, but a USA sweep wouldn't surprise me.

I definitely think it will be a US sweep - Roddick will take a lot of confidence in being on grass, where he has been the second best player in the world for the past 3 years. Blake comes to the net more often than most baseliners plus his short backswings and power game are well suited for grass.
