So, if Andy plays he's the second seed--by ten points, right? If so, the two plays three and one plays four in the semis typically, no?

No. Totally random selection. I am shocked to see you asking this, you are not newbie to tennis

I don't think there's any consistent pattern as to whether 1 meets 4 or 1 meets 3. Or from the point of view of 2, whether 2 plays 3 or 2 plays 4. I've seen it both ways.
Draws are mysterious things

OOH! sleeveless T, wet tight shorts hiked up high, ooh!
Who's that other guy whose hand he's shaking? Some qualifier?
Rafa always is practicing sleeveless and yes, the other one is a qualifier...:unsure:

I am liking the sleeveless practice a lot. And the shorter shorts. Rafa was the first to get out of those diaper shorts they were all wearing a few years ago.

The draw usually doesn't tell me too much but how every player is playing match by match

I've always preferred Rafa in sleeveless...just so sexy.

Rafa and Roger should practice together . It would do them both good. And probably the only time they would be playing at the open anyways :lol6:
You never know if this year for the first time they will play against.....I wouldn't mind at all :D
