Roger Federer vs Santiago Giraldo, second match of evening session, probably after 8pm local time (midnight GMT)
If their hopes ever faded given the recent form of Djokovic and Murray, surely Rafa and Roger should be pleased with the draws handed to them for the US Open.
The US Open tennis 2011 mens singles draw is out, and here are the potential opponents (based on seed/form) that our two champions would have to beat before meeting each other in an eventual final:
Rafael Nadal:
1st Round: Andrey Golubev
2nd Round: Nicolas Mahut
3rd Round: Ivan Ljubicic
4th Round: Jurgen Melzer
Quarterfinal: David Ferrer
Semifinal: Andy Murray
Final: Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer
Roger Federer:
1st Round: Santiago Giraldo
2nd Round: Thomaz Bellucci
3rd Round: Marin Cilic
4th Round: Viktor Troicki
Quarterfinal: Mardy Fish
Semifinal: Novak Djokovic
Final: Rafael Nadal
UPDATE – Andy Murray defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4, 3-0 after the Serb retired with a sore shoulder.
Can Novak Djokovic continue with his absolutely phenomonal year and make it a 100% success rate at Masters events in 2011 (he did not play in Monte-Carlo, which Rafa won), or will Andy Murray overcome the great Serb, who leads 6-3 in the head to head?
It will surely to be get a snapshot of how big the difference really is amongst the top four – I’m going to step out on a limb and predict an upset – Murray in straight sets.
Why? All winning streaks end, and Nole’s time is up – no rhyme nor reason, just a feeling

Novak Djokovic vs Andy Murray, 12:30pm local time (4:30pm GMT)
Results: Andy Murray beat Mardy Fish 6-3, 7-6 and Novak Djokovic beat Tomas Berdych 7-5, and retired
Mardy Fish has reigned it over Andy Murray in recent times, having won the last three match ups and leading 4-3. Given Murray’s inconsistency this year, and Fish’s great run of form, I back the American to repeat last year’s final appearance.
Novak Djokovic on the other hand – who would dare to bet against him?! He struggled yesterday in the beginning against Monfils, but came back hard to take out the match, and as his 6-1 lead over Tomas Berdych indicates, he should also be good for yet another 2011 Masters final.

Roger Federer had some troubles against Tomas Berdych in 2010, losing two of the three matches they played, though he leads 9-3 in the all time head to head.

Rafael Nadalwill play fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco, who he has beaten in every one of the eleven matches they have played before – including that 5h10m classic semifinal in 2009 when Rafa went on to win the Australian Open.
Roger Federer has played James Blake 10 times before, with the American’s only win coming at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Federer must be solid favourite to take this out in straight sets, even though Blake has played well recently.

Roger Federer vs James Blake, not before 7pm local time (11pm GMT)
Result – Rafael Nadal beat Julien Benneteau 6-4, 7-5.
The first time Rafael Nadal played Julien Benneteau was back in 2004, when the Frenchman thrashed Rafa on carpet, 6-3, 6-0. Since then, Nadal has won twice, with the last time being here at the Cincinnati Masters last year.
In theory, an easy match, but Rafa’s tank of confidence seems to be running dry, and I’ll be nervously watching to see if he can take this one.
