Title: Oliver Rochus in RG

Look at his draw. Now he has Alberto Martin. Despite a 0-4 record, I think that Olli can win this one, after thrashing Vanek 6-2 6-0 6-2.
Then could come Stepanek. He's shown good clay performances but he is not the best. I can see Olli winning that one. Then could come Ferrer or Ljubicic. Clay isn't Ljubo's fave surface, and Ferrer is beatable despite a good record on clay.
Then his run could end against Nadal...In the semis.
The only problem is that Olli tends to choke in GS :(

I'd expect him to win against Martin (who shouldn't be underestimated as a good clay-courter), but I see him losing to Stepanek, who I think will be too consistent and hard-hitting for him. If he does manages to get past Radek, I definitely don't see him getting past Ferrer (who is a very good clay-courter, as we know) or Ljubicic (who seems to be finding his feet on the surface). So I'd say 4th round.

I'd say quarters, depends what mood he's in :)

Well, Rochus and Stepanek have both been winning quite easily.
Martin kinda struggled against the injured Roddick, don't you think so?
Ljubo lost a set against Hernardez(though I heard that he's quite talented). He did slaughter Berlocq though(who double-bageled Donald Youn lol)
Ferrer lost a set to Chardy(wimby junior champ 2005), and put Garcia-Lopez with relative ease...
I find it rather hard to tell.

Stepanek is on the verge of going out!

I told you, Martin shouldn't be underestimated - he's a good clay-courter.
Shame for Ollie though :(
