Down to the final 8 already at the US Open on the men's side. I went 5 for 8 with my fantasy tennis pics, chosing correctly with Federer, Roddick, Davydenko, Djokovic and Ferrer (my wildcard). Went wrong with Blake, Gonzalez and Youzhny. In hindsight I really wouldn't have made any changes. I had contemplated taking Moya, but figured a younger player would outlast him in a best of five. I thought Chela could be an upset pick in his quarter with bigger names like Gonzo, Safin and Ljubicic all struggling. Problem is, I've never been impressed with Chela's game. I knew I could have flipped a coin with Haas/Blake, but thought James was coming in so strong that he should have momentum on his side. Well he had his chances, with three match points. I didn't go with Nadal just because ever since I saw him live in Montreal last month he just did not look 100%. Far from it in fact. Think the kid should take some time off to heal up properly. I don't see Nadal having a long career like an Agassi the way he plays. Too rough on his body.

Looking forward to Roddick/Federer tonight, although it would be a major upset should Andy find a way to win. Haas and Davydenko could be another five set gem, although I think the Russian is probably much more rested than the German and should pull through in four. Djokovic will take care of Moya in my opinion, despite the fact he was bounced by Moya in Cincy last month. I'm taking Ferrer over Chela, and easily at that. This guys has quietly built himself quite a season on both clay and hard courts. Very impressed with him lately.

I'd love to hear how everyone else has done with their fantasy pics at the Open. Leave a message!
