I think Gonzo over Roddick is the most likely because Gonzo has a lot of confidence from the Olympics and can catch fire at any time. Roddick has played surprisingly well so far, but he hasn't had a great summer and he basically lucked out in the 2nd round. Also, this tournament means a lot to him, and I think it'll help him play well and win, but there's also a chance that he'll pop and not play well at all.

After that would be Schnyder over Dementieva. Patty had a lot more winners than errors in her R16, while Dementieva didn't, and she's beaten her plenty of times on hard courts before. Plus Elena has to get tired at some point. She's also crumbled in a slam QF earlier this year, and if anyone has a chance at making her flip out, it's the Wackster.

I would be stunned if Jankovic lost. I call her the cockroach.

at the cockroach. I play pretty much exactly like her too, I shouldn't laugh.

yeah, Patty and Elena might be deceptively competitive. Obviously Elena's accomplished more this year and is coming in hotter, but their record is almost even. Everything about Patty Schnyder's game is off-putting and Elena really needs to be at her best. I still think Elena's gonna win in a tough set and an easy set, in that order. When it comes right down to it, Elena's just a better fighter (which probably says more about Patty than Elena). I'm fully expecting that match to be a stinker, though.
