Possible 3rd round match Between Hewitt and Fed

 

[Turning Pro]

I gotta fancy Hewitt if they meet. This is THE best time to play Fed. Plus that will get a monkey off his back.

 

[gj011]

Voted Djokovic.

 

[Vision84]

Add an other option to the poll.

 

[oscar_2424]

Rafael Nadal.

 

[Nadal_Freak]

My heart wants Nadal to win but I think Djokovic is just too good on hardcourts.

Dunno 'bout that. I like Rafa's chances (though he does have a tough draw). I think Novak will burn out in Miami. I have no idea why I'm thinking that, though...

To Turning Pro: Indeed. There is no better chance than now for Lleyton.

There are some interesting players in Federer's bracket at early rounds: Isner, Monfils, and dangerous Soderling.

Hewitt's bracket has Hyung-Taik Lee who can make interesting match.

Plus, I would rather see Federer-Tsonga quarter-final...

 

[the-robz]

Federer has something to prove. He will win.

 

[random guy]

Nalby quarter is awful. Stepanek, Ljubicic and Blake. If he survives it will be Rafa on quarter finals which I think it's not very good news for Nadal.

 

[Fedace]

Kevin Anderson keeps moving along. He seems to be a real talent. He beat Kevin Kim today fairly easy.

 

[musicalmedic81]

Gonna take a wild swing here and say Blake.

 

[SikSerb]

Novak Djokovic.

 

[edmondsm]

Gonna take a wild swing here and say Blake.

That would be awsome. I think a well rested Roddick is going to take this one home.

 

[Rickson]

It looks like Federer's gonna take it again.

 

[ninman]

It looks like Federer's gonna take it again.

I think maybe you're being a little optimistic. I think he'll certainly do better this year than he did last year, but after seeing what happened in IW I think it's possibly too soon to say he's completely over this virus he's had. If he wakens up one morning not feeling too good we could see him throw in another performance like he did against Fish.

 

[Rhino]

Federers a lock for this tournament.

 

[Leublu tennis]

I see it as Djokovic v. Nadal and Federer v. Murray in the semis and Djokovic v. Federer in the final. If its the same Federer, then Djokovic wins; if a new Federer, he will win.

 

[Leublu tennis]

I see that Baghdatis is not in the draw. Anyone know whats wrong with him?

 

[Andres]

This time, I'd have to say Nole.

 

[Andres]

Hrbaty is baaaaaack!!!!
Plays Gulbis in 1st RD and Davydenko in 2nd

 

[Andres]

Nadal's quarter is brutal!! Nalbandian, Stepanek, Ljubicic, Blake, Mathieu, Moya and Nieminen! All dangerous threats with Byes.

Plus: Björkman, Haas, Kiefer, Santoro, Grosjean, Malisse and Mahut.

 

[Katlion]

I don't know why, but every draw that I ahve seen lately, Roger has a chance of meeting John Isner first round (it's second round for John, cuz Roger got a bye).................... and you'd think that Americans would want their guys to stick around longer in the draws that they make themselves................................

 

[my_forehand]

The first quarter OWNS!

We might get Roddick-Tsonga or Roddick/Tsonga - Federer in the quarters!!

 

[caulcano]

I don't think Djokovic because he blows hot one week & cold the next. So I think he'll lose before the final.

Federer hasn't been playing great recently so there's too pressure on him.

The surface shouldn't suit Nadal but has played pretty well on HC recently.

So not Djokovic, Federer or Nadal.

 

[Rickson]

Federer will win Miami for sure. This one's money in the bank.

 

[93sq.]

DY without losing a point

 

[Tchocky]

Amazing to see how many people are still picking Roger to win. If Isner can get past Monfils, then I might put a little money on him to take down Roger. Nice to see Nishikori got a wild card. He's looking at a 2nd round meeting with Ferrero if he can get past Montanes in the 1st round.

 

[Sentinel]

Given Federer's recent winning streak, I'll just stick with him.

 

[Tchocky]

I'm picking Djokovic. He's the defending champion and best player on outdoor hard courts right now. He can overtake the #2 ranking by defending his title so he's got plenty of motivation.

 

[lambielspins]

He can overtake the #2 ranking by defending his title

This is not true.

 

[Raoul_Duke]

C'mon guys, do you really think Isner can beat Federer?! Not that I don't like the idea, but Isner? Federer is not THAT bad


I'll pick Nalbandian.

(I don't wanna jinx Novak )

If Fish can beat Roger in straight sets, then he can lose to anyone. Isner took a set off Roger at the U.S. Open. All Isner has to do is hold serve and he can win.

 

[Raoul_Duke]

Federer that played Fish in the IW semis will never come back, that's for sure.

 

[NamRanger]

Federer is still the fav, 2nd would be Djokovic, then after that who knows. Roddick?

 

[fastdunn]

Federer didn't look that healthy to me at Indian Wells. Unless his health/fitness recover fully, it could be rough road to a title. I wouldn't be suprised if he loses at early rounds like he did at Dubai.

 

[diegaa]

i believe in fed's anger to win something this year.

 

[SuperPhong]

Federer has something to prove. He will win.

Didn't he have something to prove at the Pacific Life...I say Djoker

 

[Lefty5]

i bet Johnny Isner is getting mighty sick of seeing Fed in the 2nd round. Seems like every other tourney he has that potential matchup. Gotta get past the first round though!

 

[MEAC_ALLAMERICAN]

Roger Federer and Venus Williams for the titles.

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Donald Young lost to Bobby Reynolds in the quallies. Bummer for him.

 

[Fee]

Yeah, I'm bummed about that too.

 

[Sentinel]

I'd like to see Roger play Tsonga! Sadly it will happen early.

 

[IvanAndreevich]

I'd like to see Roger play Tsonga! Sadly it will happen early.

I want to see that as well when Fed's fully recovered from whatever is bugging him.

 

[vince916]

Djokovic will take it

 

[Kid Carlos]

Im going with Novak, but I hope Fed can pull through, check out a preview of this tournament at www.theatpblog.com

 

[westside]

Bummer....Guccione lost in the Qualies

 

[CanadianChic]

This one has Nadal all over it.

 

[hewittboy]

This one has Nadal all over it.

Based on what? That he could only get 5 games off of Djokovic, and nearly lost to both Blake and Tsonga, on a hard court slower then this.

 

[Tchocky]

Oddsmakers have Nadal at more than 10 to 1.
