If Roddick doesn't go through, it will be interesting to see who becomes the finalist from this half. Likely though, Roddick will go through given his form.

A few big seeds out already.

yeh Ljubicic being the main one, hes played so much tennis this year its hardly a surprise, he was also pretty unlucky to get drawn against one of the best unseeded players.
