Just a few pointers in celebration of tommorrow:

• M. Safin versus F. Gonzalez in the first round. But ofcourse -we had to get Gonzo. But if Safin nicks the match (he has all the ability too) whose knows, he might even make it to the fourth round. Yeah, okay, you can laugh now.
• Rafael Nadal will do the ATP Blog for the week!!!
• Nadal has a relatively easy first-week pickings. R. Nadal versus R. Soderling match is a must-see: that's when he'll pick up his 54th consecutive clay-court win, and plus, his camera signoff will be most amusing.
• Daniela Hantuchova, wherever are you? The poor lady has disappeared off the face of my television set since US Open 2005.
• Roddick with an injured left ankle. Heh heh heh.
• Lleyton Hewitt, another one you don't see knocking tennis balls around lately. Would love to see how he plays after weeks off from the tour. And whether his wife still wears those atrocious pair of tan sunglasses.
• Right. Now down to some serious tennis tommorrow.
