Well...



**ROUND OF 16**
#1 Federer def. #13 Gasquet
#5 Roddick def. #9 Berdych
#4 Davydenko def. Hrbaty (bet on it!)
#18 Baghdatis def. #6 Blake
#11 Youzhny def. Fish
#3 Djokovic def. #16 Hewitt
(Q) Dancevic def. #12 Ljubicic (why not?)
#2 Nadal def. #15 Ferrer (very shaky, this one)

**QUARTERFINALS**
#1 Federer def. #5 Roddick
#18 Baghdatis def. #4 Davydenko (he's no Andre)
#3 Djokovic def. #11 Youzhny
#2 Nadal def. (Q) Dancevic

**SEMIFINALS**
#1 Federer d. #18 Baghdatis
#3 Djokovic def. #2 Nadal
