I think Ljubicic should win this tournament, or possibly Hewitt. Ljubicic has a fantastic grass game but has never produced it. He should be able to ease through this draw. Hewitt picked up some confidence and rhythm at Roland Garros, and likes the grass. I think he could win the title but he is not the favourite. There are some great matches in the top half of the draw. Thomas Johansson v Mirnyi, winner likely to play Lopez, winner going on to Hewitt probably. Anyone of those players could beat Nadal. Stepanek and Tursunov could have a good run.
In the bottom half, Gonzalez v Rusedski could be good, and Grosjean v Mirnyi. I do not think Roddick will defend his title, and Blake could struggle.
I think Henman will win. Agassi hasen't played for a while and has been very up and down in recent years. Henman though, in 2006 has shown signs of his top form regularly. He is in much more of a rhythm than Agassi is, and will have alot of confidence from a decent season so far. You have to do something special to stay away from the game for a large time and come back to beat Henman on grass. Another thing is that Henman is more natural on grass, and the faster Queen's courts will be great for his volleys. On the other hand, Agassi could come out and grind the match down like he has done so many times, but Henman has to be the favourite considering the season they've had so far.
Agassi's a great grass court player though...the grass really suites his compact strokes. It will be close, but I think Agassi will pull it off. If he can break down a certain element of Henman, say the backhand, he can walk away the winner. They should be playing tomorrow.... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself

Grass is not Agassi's best surface. He is also rusty. I think Henman wil take advantage of that and pull off some great volleys. Agassi's strokes will very well be off. I smell an upset.
Grass is not Agassi's best surface, but he's a great player on it. He has won a Wimbledon, finished runner-up once, and was a semifinalist like three times. But a Henman win won't really be surprising at the same time.... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
I was right, Henman beat Agassi, 6-4 6-4. There has been some great weather at Queens today. Henman had a good match and Agassi didn't look at his best. I am suprised Karlovic had to qualify, last year he reached his first final here.

ehem...... you were right? I think we both were right.....
It seemed to be a good match. Although he lost, it's good Agassi seemed to hang in there...did he make a lot of unforced errors? Didn't win enough return or second serve points.... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
Perhaps Agassi should try on a new shirt...it seems to not work.... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
Did Dave or N_E_A watch the match? HOw did they (Agassi and Henman) play? _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
Third seed Jarkko Nieminen advanced to the second round of the Gerry Weber Open in Halle Monday with a 7-6(3), 6-4 win over German Philipp Kohlschreiber.
Fourth-seeded Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis was not so fortunate, beaten 7-6(5), 6-3 by Poertschach finalist Andrei Pavel. Been an up and down year for Baghdatis
Seventh seed Olivier Rochus, who won the Munich title last month and reached the third round at Roland Garros, defeated German wild card Alexander Waske 2-6, 6-4, 6-3
Yes, I hope Baghdatis can pick it back up again...hasn't done much since Indian Wells (quarterfinalist).... I guess Federer's playing on Wednesday. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
