Federer will lose to Ramesh Krishnan.
Hardly. Krishnan's not in the draw.
I'm joking. Hope Udomchoke will do well. As usual I hope Safin wins it. Djokovic Vs Ancic is one hell of a first round match.
Federer will win it. Djokovic will be good as well.
Federer will win the men's, hopefully.
I'm going to be cheering on Ivanovic in the women's, because she's hot.

You guys want to do the picks this time?
Djokovic beat Roddick in the quarterfinal, Nadal in the semifinal and then Federer in the final in this years Montreal Masters tournament a couple of weeks ago. All in three days.
Ancic won't play by the way.

Don`t you want to do them?
I'll arrange them if enough people are up for it.
I`m up for it. I was away on holiday during Wimbledon so would be nice to do them this time.
Count me in, too.
Yepp me too
No upsets so far on the first day. Federer through in straight sets.
For one of the last times.
COME ON TIM!!
COME ON TIM!!
Henman takes the first set 6-4!
Nadal struggling in the second set.
Yeah i just caught the tail end of a reprot on that, who is he against?
An Aussie lad named Jones. He's lost the second set but is up a break in the third.
Nadal has really played crap lately.
Henman moves back in front winning he third set 6-3.
And our Tim saw it home winning out 6-4 3-6 6-3 6-4
Produced some quality serve and volley tennis too, like from a few years back.
In the past Tursunov has had his measure, but not today.

Murray wins in 5 sets.

He has a good chance to beat Nadal.

A magnificent display by the two greatest showmen in todays tennis.

Hold your horses there Batman, it was good but not that good!
For me it was the best game of this year so far based on these reasons.
Five set match.
Great gameplay, lots of good points and the fact that there were a lot more winners than unforced errors confirms this.
The crowd really got into it.
Djokovic and Stepanek are the funniest guys on the tour and they are great showmen.
Fantastic match overall.
This is just my opinion of course.
spot on, mate, spot on
I also like Djokovic because he's maybe the only tennis player that acknowledges great moves and applauds his opponents. Roddick used to do it, but not anymore, he's much more serious than 3-4 years ago when he was number 1. I hope Novak never changes, he's a really great showman, Stepanek as well. They used to play doubles together, but I never watched them
