Touch the sky - and touch it he did.

Still no sign of the draw and I hope I'm not tempting fate by starting this thread but couldn't resist posting this line from the press statement on the Cinci website about Rafa's withdrawal: 'and Olympic gold medalist Andy Murray headlines a field that also includes four-time Western & Southern Open champion Roger Federer, three-time finalist Novak Djokovic and Americans Andy Roddick, Mardy Fish and John Isner'. Yay our gold medalist headlines over numbers 1 and 2 in the world. I do hope he'll be fit enough to defend his title and he does need more match practice before USO. All being well he'll have recuperated physically and mentally by next week.

Two-time champion here, this is a good tournament for him. Here and Shanghai where he's won the most Masters I think?

Roddick. Oh wow.
Providing Andy is on song should be a breeze, but if he's not fully fit..
Surprise surprise, Federer is on Ferrer's half again. *shock*

I'm afraid it's just as ugly.  The style and pattern look the same as the last one. Haven't they got any imagination?

Federer's draw:
Bye - Nieminen/Bogomolov - Kohlschreiber - Monaco - Ferrer - [Final]
This is just utterly ridiculous.
Murray's...
Bye - Querrey/Melzer - Roddick - Del Potro - Djokovic - [Final]
Come on.
