Third Quarter Your eyes go immediately to the top of this quarter, where Andy Roddick is scheduled to face Fabrice Santoro in a guaranteed night spectacle. I’m thinking there will be a few dicey moments before Roddick finally hammers the Magician off the court. The other names that stick out here are Tsonga (whoa, he’s back?), Gonzalez (the silver medalist might get an air war with Roddick in the fourth), and Marin Cilic, the latest beanpole monster hitter from Croatia. But the name that counts is Novak Djokovic’s. He may not have beaten Nadal in Beijing, but he played as well as could be expected, and improved his form from earlier in the summer. Plus: He’s a Broadway kind of guy. Sleeper: Ernests Gulbis, who could face Roddick in the second round Semifinalist: Djokovic 簽表最上方Roddick和Santoro的對決受到注目。雖然有不確定性，但是我想Roddick還是 會贏。Tsonga也在這一區，加上Gonzalez和Cilic-克羅地亞新大砲，但是這個四強名額是 屬於Djokovic的。他沒在北京擊敗納豆，他是他打的跟預期的一樣好，而且比他之前進步 許多（應該是指溫網和加拿大）。另外，他是像百老匯一樣的人物（不懂，是指他很會演 嗎）。 有可能爆冷的人：Gulbis，他會在第二輪遇到Roddick 四強名單：Djokovic Fourth Quarter Oh, the indignity. Federer has to go up the draw this time! It looks so much harder than rafting down it the way he always has. His first test might come against that eternal agitator, Radek Stepanek, in the third round—the Czech beat him on clay in Rome but likes hard courts best. After that, it’s pretty quiet until the quarters, where Federer is slotted to meet Nikolay Davydenko, or perhaps Richard Gasquet, both of whom have generally been cannon-fodder for the world No. 2 (Federer as “world No. 2”; weird thing to say, isn’t it?). Based on No. 2's recent results, there will be some ugly moments along the way, and most likely a serious scare, but being the four-time defending champion has to help a little. Right? First-round match to watch: Gasquet vs. Haas. Nice backhands Semifinalist: Federer 這對天王是個侮辱（譯按：他說的不是我說的，費迷不要打我），費天王這次必須在簽表 上往上走！這看起來比之前他總是往下走困困難的多了。他的第一個考驗是在第三輪會遇 到永遠的攪局者- Stepanek，捷克人熱愛硬地，卻在紅土賽場上擊敗他。之後，簽表這部 分的競賽會非常平靜，費天王可能會遇到Davydenko或Gasquet，這兩個都不是男二號的對 手（又酸了費天王一次）。但是考慮到費天王的狀態，在征戰的過程中將會有許多驚險， 但是四次美網冠軍的經驗應該會對費天王有所幫助。 四強名單：費天王 Semifinals: Nadal d. Murray; Djokovic d. Federer Final: Nadal d. Djokovic --
