Why is he not in bed with an IV?
He wouldn't want to break his date with you know who j/k
No.. he just didn't want to get embarrased by Andy at Kooyong again.

oh yeah....that must be it... LOL!

Wouldn't surprise me if Maria drew her in either 1st/2nd or 3rd round instead of some lowly ranked qulifier or wildcard!

Not slacking, just not wanting too many stickys at a time.

Also, there are usually separated threads for ATP and WTA.

EDIT: the draw is about to take place. You can listen to it on AO Radio. I will type the draw out as I hear it.

NJtennis11 · « **Reply #147 on:** January 10, 2008, 05:10:55 PM »

The draw ceremony is also on ESPN 360 for those who get it like me, I'll help with the draw as well.

NJtennis11 · « **Reply #148 on:** January 10, 2008, 05:13:04 PM »

Women's Quarters

Henin v. Sharapva
Serena v. Jankovic
Ivanovic v. Venus
Kuznetsova v. Chakvetadze

NJtennis11 · « **Reply #149 on:** January 10, 2008, 05:17:32 PM »

Henin with a tough Round of 16 against Golovin, she would have to get through Schiavone in the Round of 32. The bottom quarter is the weakest.

NJtennis11 · « **Reply #150 on:** January 10, 2008, 05:20:31 PM »

Federer v. Gozalez
Djokovic v. Ferrer
Davydenko v. Gasquet
Nadal v. Roddick

Nadal has Moya in his 16th and Federer has Berdych.

Roddick with a pretty easy draw, Kolschreiber, Nieminen and Robredo in his 16th.

BGT · « **Reply #151 on:** January 10, 2008, 05:26:00 PM »

Here's the draw as I hear it on AO Radio.. unfortunately, the radio cut out in the middle of the draw

so this is all I've got.. i think I got Hewitt wrong though EDIT: this is all I could as they 'discussed' parts of the draw instead of saying what it is. $:\$

Yeah, that draw is off, I know Federer has Verdasco as his first seed, Roddick has Kolschreiber, Robredo vs. Nieminen, Nadal vs. Simon.

NJtennis11 · « **Reply #153 on:** January 10, 2008, 05:31:53 PM »

Davenport vs. Sharapova in Round 2!!!!

Very tough match for Jankovic in round 1 against Paszek. Serena gets Gajdosova(sp?) in round 1 with a whole bunch of qualifiers in her area. Henin has Nakamura. Venus has Yan Zi, Ivanovic with Cirstea.

NJtennis11 · « **Reply #154 on:** January 10, 2008, 05:43:03 PM »

Roger gets Diego Hartfield in the first round, the gets the winner of a interesting funny match between Santoro and Isner, a trick 2nd round for Roger.

Alex · « **Reply #155 on:** January 10, 2008, 06:12:30 PM »

Roger and Novak have tough draw. I like Nada's side better (Roddick and Murray). I'm still trying to digest this.

NJtennis11 · « **Reply #156 on:** January 10, 2008, 06:13:22 PM »

Murray gets Tsonga in Round 1, tough one.

Alex · « **Reply #157 on:** January 10, 2008, 06:17:54 PM »

Safin vs. Gulbis (1st round), ouch.

Jamesdster · « **Reply #158 on:** January 10, 2008, 06:43:20 PM »

Our gal Lilia Osterloh plays Patty Schnyder in the first round. Come on Lil! Good luck!

JadeFox21 · « **Reply #159 on:** January 10, 2008, 06:52:41 PM »

The toughest quarter is Djoker's, followed by Roger's, then probably the Gasquet/Murray/Youznhy/Davydenko quarter, then lastly Roddick/Rafa. The bottom half is the easiest. I honestly don't see too much in the way of the Rafa/Roddick QF. Roger has a trickier route and Djoker has a really tough one. I mean, Djoker has Dima, Hewitt, Baghs, Nalby, JC Ferrero, Stepanek, and Ferrer! If I remember correctly, he had the toughest quarter in NY as well.
