Australian Open Draws Are Out! Men's Draw
I'll have a big, in-depth breakdown of each sixteenth of each draw once the qualifiers are placed, but for now here's an overview of each draw on a bigger scale:
Potential Quarterfinal Match-ups (if seeds hold):
#1 Roger Federer vs. #6 Nikolay Davydenko
#3 Novak Djokovic vs. #8 Robin Soderling
#7 Andy Roddick vs. #4 Juan Martin del Potro
#5 Andy Murray vs. #2 Rafael Nadal
Toughest Potential Roadblock Before the Quarterfinals:
#1 Roger Federer -- #22 Lleyton Hewitt (Fourth Round)
#6 Nikolay Davydenko -- #9 Fernando Verdasco (Fourth Round)
#3 Novak Djokovic -- Richard Gasquet? (Fourth Round) (It's a pretty easy eighth for Djokovic)
#8 Robin Soderling -- #10 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga / #18 Tommy Haas (Fourth Round)
#7 Andy Roddick -- #25 Sam Querrey (Third Round)
#4 Juan Martin del Potro -- #14 Marin Cilic (Fourth Round)
#5 Andy Murray -- #12 Gael Monfils (Fourth Round) (That would be an awesome match)
#2 Rafael Nadal -- #13 Radek Stepanek (Fourth Round)
An Unseeded Darkhorse in Each Quarter:
Federer/Davydenko: Ernests Gulbis, always an unknown quantity. Took a set off Federer in Doha.
Djokovic/Soderling: Robby Ginepri has a real workable draw. Decent shot at the fourth round.
Roddick/del Potro: I really can't pick James Blake, so I'll go with Jose Acasuso
Murray/Nadal: Either John Isner or Ivo Karlovic
Early Final Prediction:
Roddick over Djokovic

Roddick winning it?
Lets just say I disagree… I’m sure we will talk more in depth during one of the game thread later, BR.
Oh and I think we're due for a crazy Australian Open WTF-how'd-he-do-that semi/Finalist;
Like Shuettler or Bahgdatis, (I know I spelled both of them wrong) at the time Tsonga
