Answer 1

If there is no upsets I'd say Federer Djok final with Roger pulling thru. If Roger gets 2 the final I think he will win it but hes got some tricky opponents first. I still think Djok will beat Nadal on hardcourt- do people always forget this quickly??

Why are you guys so sure Gulbis will get past Gonzalez- I don't think he will, Gonzy is number 15 and a good player. Gulbis is an up and comer but don't go betting him against number 15 just yet!!

Answer 2

WOW all the top 8 seeds have very tricky early round opponents. Iv never seen it like this before. Simon can give Federer trouble especially seeing that he made the final in Indianapolis. Baghdatis---a tricky hard court player that can scare anyone will be very difficult for Nadal to get passed. I don't know guys don't be too sure about a Federer-Nadal final!

Answer 3

I think that Federer will easily make it to the finals.

Then on the other side of the draw I think that Nadal and Djokovic will face in the semi-finals. I honestly think that Djokovic will win this, no matter how much confidence I have in Nadal. Djokovic will then move on to face Federer in the finals. Djokovic will win in three sets.

Answer 4

Lana you look lovely.

I say Roger over Rafa in 3 in the final.

Answer 5

Is anyone else looking forward to Haas vs Moya in round 1 as much as I am?

Answer 6

I'm reminded of Wimbly, when everyone was skipping ahead to the Federer V Djokovic semi and the Nadal v Federer final. The latter happened, obviously, but Marat Safin might surprise us again when he meets Djokovic. I agree with whoever earlier said about the top 8 seeds getting tough early round opponents, and the only prediction I can make is that the tournament won't pass without a few upsets among the top players!

Answer 7

Nadal Djokovic Semi - Nadal wins in 3.

Nadal Federer Final - Nadal wins in 3

Answer 8

No, my crystal ball is broken :(

Answer 9

i thought i never'd say this, but i'm glad andy is in federer's quarter, hehe.-

it sucks andy's got tipsarevic is so early.-

my predictions are semis rafa-djoko and blake and andy (i'd wish)

final rafa vs andy, rafa wins.-

Answer 10

Nadal and Federer in the final.  Nadal wins in 4 sets

Answer 11

Predictions can be as precarious as the players' knees. Hard court season is here. Venus, Serena, Davenport all fell short due to knee injuries... Back to Men's Roger's, the draw's spread out fairly. Roger has a fearless Gulbis in the 2nd round, their first meeting probably.  Djokovic will meet Safin earlier,  Rafa has an easier draw until the quarter or so. If Novak survives Safin, he will collide with Rafa at the semi, hopefully. But before the semis, shocking things can happen on both sides of the draw. Roddick vs Federer at the semi ?

Federer reaches the final, another dual with Novak this time ? Although I would love to see a fresh young player wins, other than the boring three musketeers. Just wishing.  My bet is Djokovic defends the title in 3 sets. I'm not betting seriously.  Therfore  my bank isn't in jeopardy. Ha ha.

Answer 12

Very tough early round opponents for the top 4. Davydenko and Nadal seem to have it alittle easier though. Baghatis in the 2nd round is tough for Nadal, but if he gets through that, he would reach the semis easily.

Federer has Gulbis/Gonzalez, which should be entertaining, and a possible Roddick or Tipsarevic the round after. If he makes those, he will get to the final.

Djo vs Nadal and Federer vs ??? would be the semis.

Federer vs Djo final

Federer wins

Answer 13

nadal federer final, the usual

I think Fed is hungry for revenge so he will win... Rafa beat him in French Open final and Wimbledon so Fed must really want to beat him.
