Haha Hewitt vs Nadal Second round. Igor Andreev vs Hewy or most likely Nadal 3rd round. Also hopefully Nicolas Massu can come out of the wilderness and do something.

hewitt can beat nadal.

Hewy wants to win this, last olympics

Nadal-not playing on clay?, not enough passion, tired?

so hewitt a good chance.

Tursunov good chance against fed I reckon. Upsets happen regularly @ the olympics, I would never bet on a fave.

I'd say Rafa might be suffering from some burnout and won't do that well. Keep an eye on Federer, hasn't played much tennis the last two weeks and could work in hid favour as he is as fresh as a daisy.

(10) Simon - Soderling - Simon
Niemeyer - Cañas - Canas
Bellucci - Hrbaty - what a bizzare match Hrbaty because I have heard of him
Guccione - 8 Blake - Gucc because i don't like blake

(4) Davydenko - Gulbis - Davy
Mathieu - Lapentti - Hmmmmm toss a coin Mathieu
Loglo - Anderson - No idea who cares Loglo
Mirnyi - (15) Kiefer - Mirnyi

(12) Gonzalez - Darcis - Gonzo
Cilic - Monaco - Cilic
O. Rochus - Minar - Rochus
Tipsarevic - (5) Ferrer - Janko

(7) Nalbandian - Zeng - David
Massu - Darcis - Massu
Bolelli - Hanescu - Bolelli
Monfils - (11) Almagro - Monflis

(13) Youzhny - Vanek - Youzney

(16) Stepanek - Llodra - Llodra

A lot of no names in the draw. But they are who I think will play in the round of whatever is works out to be. Which I think is 32.

Hopefully he's right. Then Andreev will beat Stepanek in the second round followed by Hewitt or Nadal and then beat Federer for Gold.

At least hewitt can win his first round, the only way if hewitt will beat nadal if the condition affect nadal bad enough and hewitt's hip is up to scratch. Guccione vs. Blake will be an entertaining match, one minsless all-serve player and and one mindless ballbasher, i actually give the gucc a chance here but james really should win, gucc's serve needs to be on fire like always. Tursnov vs. Fed is a fun first round matchup as well.

For the women, these are who the 3 aussies are playing:
Molik vs. Davenport (has to hope lindsay knee is screwed, alicia is not in form anyway)
Stosur vs. Errani (should win that match, possible matchup with serena in 2nd round)
Dellacqua vs. Dulko (possible 2nd round matchup against azarenka, winnable matches)

Janko seems to be able to upset people and I have taken a liking to him ever since he took fed to 5. Llodra and Stepanek interesting match I just have a feeling on this one.

I wonder if 7 will show the Molik Davenport match. That would be worth watching.

Upon seeing Mirnyi's ranking I tend to agree with you now. I can see Dellaqua making it past the Semi's then she runs into Venus. The doubles teams have fairly decent chances. Look out for Stosur and Stubbs.

Firstly, unless an aussie makes the final or is beating a really top player you won't see it (sbs are showing the men's final though)

Secondly, davenport has pulled out, alicia will play an alternate.

As from the ATP website: "Frenchman Michael Llodra hit 24 winners to knock out No. 16 seed Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 4-6, 7-6(5), 11-9 in two hours and 47 minutes to set up a second round clash against Russian Igor Andreev."

hope ur choking on ur words hunter.

dont bag someone due to their prediction, cos when ur wrong (as u are now) ul look like a tool.

Nice tip Bundy Smile
