It is a slightly different story today, with del Potro playing here on a career-high ranking of No. 6 and so far undefeated this year. He will be looking to boost his great start to the season by scoring his first victory over a Top 3 player and at the very least, take a set off the Swiss for the first time.

A little surprised they didn't give the defending champ the night match. Either way makes sense though. Very true, Craig. The announcers the other night were certain Djokovic would get the night match today, after playing early into Monday morning. |

Roddick/Djokovic looks like the match of the day. |

Maybe he didn't want it, knowing that it could mean another extremely late finish, which just makes the semi that much harder. Better to bite the bullet against Roddick than Federer, perhaps. Esp now that Federer has the late match. I'm not sure how much this really affects experienced players deep in a Slam when they have a day between matches. |

I give Andy a 10% chance of winning. He had his chance with a break in the fourth set at the USO. He completely choked with a couple of doubles. That was his best shot. The USO surface, in my opinion, is a better surface for Andy than this one. Andy has the edge in only one department, serve. And I don't think that will be enough unfortunately.

In addition to not being a fan of Novak, I've actually warmed to Andy some since last year. I'm really hoping he can pull off the upset. With Murray gone and Roger playing iffy, who knows what could happen. |
