He has better results on clay than on grass. He made the QFs in 06, but that is by far his best result here. Santoro over Murray would be a big defeat for British tennis. I hope he gets the old French guy. But Anderson is an interesting pick. I won't forget the Djokovic match anytime soon. Maybe he will end Nadal's winning plan.

I agree that there is no telling how Roddick-Blake will turn out. I think a big upset will be Santoro over Murray in the first round. The combination of the UK pressure and all that spin will be too much for Murray, I think. Here are my fourth round picks: Fed-Gonzo Kohlschreiber-Llodra Djoker-Wawrinka Karlovic-Nalbandian Roddick-Blake Mathieu-Ljubicic Anderson-Haas Stepanek-Nadal Joe Samuel Starnes www.topspinblog.com Good picks, although I think Stepanek with his all-court game will be the one to run into Nadal in the round of 16, and might give him some trouble but I don’t think anyone can beat Rafa this year.

Hope Murray can do some damage. Problem for Murray is that he has never been able to beat Nadal. Bjorkman is a good pick for the L16. Looking forward to the Murray-Nadal match.
