We saw Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic on the first day. The other contenders, Rafael Nadal, Robin Soderling and Andy Murray, will show their wares on Tuesday. Rafael Nadal is known to make a heavy weather of simple things. He does not appear to be a man in hurry. Sometimes he wants to fight where he can easily win. One can expect to see him experimenting with his serve and backhand slice. Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Tomas Berdych, all appeared to be in a hurry to return to the Locker room on day one. Andy Murray will also win comfortably without decimating his opponent. The only suspense would be whether his first serve percentage can touch 60. Robin Soderling goes for the early kill, but Potito Starace is no novice. It might not turn out to be a one sided story. If the opponent is not cowed down by the big shots, Robin Soderling sometimes starts missing.
Samantha Stosur, Kim Clijsters and Vera Zvonareva will be in action on day two. Stosur is sure to go deep in the draw. It is only on big stage, she gets tight. Kim Clijsters wears the tag of favourite in the eyes of many. She will hit hard and Dinara Safina will hit out. Vera Zvonareva has had much success in the last one year. She tends to progress without much fuss and fanfare.
Those who like to see action, drama and suspense should do well to see the following matches on day two:
1. David Nalbandian - Lleyton Hewitt
2. Alejandra Falla - Feliciano Lopez
3. Jarkko Nieminen - David Ferrer
4. Juan Ignacio Chela - Michael Llodra
The first one is the blockbuster, a must see. A full house will bring the house down before their favourite son loses. So, it is advantage Lleyton Hewitt.
