Grand Slam qualies always kind of leave me a little crestfallen. Just looking at the names of players who used to be in the top 50 and now have to fight just to get in this thing, having the "OH YEAH! I forgot all about him/her" moment and then seeing how many of them lose pretty meekly.

Akgul? Florent Serra? Tommy Haas? Craybas? Gisela Dulko? What are you guys doing in qualies!?!

It also gives you the chance to reflect upon players we were told were the next top players, and see how they've yet/never reached the heights expected of them. Bolleterri called Larcher De Brito a Top 10 player. She's 19 now, and outside of her screech, her impact in the tennis world has been de minimus.
