It's not far away now! Takes place in the week beginning 25th August! The year's final grand slam at Flushing Meadows is sure to be a cracker, and indeed, our Andy's best shot at a title as it's his favourite surface and one in which many have tipped him to shine. He defends only a lowly 3rd round appearance here last year, so it's a fantastic opportunity to reach his second grand slam quarter final and pick up some points! Seeding takes place on the 18th of August.

Very possible if he gets a kind quarters draw, i.e. Davydenko or Ferrer (whoever ends up being 4th seed), or even Nadal, unless he's improved his game on hard, which we'll find out in the next few weeks.

True, but then again, you can't really look past the top 3 at all these days.

Quarters, unless he is in Fed or Davy's quarter, then semis.

No neither do I. I think he could beat Nadal or Davy, but not Djoko or Fed. But then again, Djoko hasn't been brilliant lately.......

I think Andy has more chance of beating Fed than Rafa - he couldn't even beat Rafa indoors at Madrid at a high altitude.

You could be right, but only because a) Andy's game matches up better vs Fed then against Nadal and b) Nadal is less likely to play below par then Fed, who's had a very inconsistent year. However, remember that at their meeting at Madrid last year, Andy had recently come back from injury, and did not play at his best.

You're right, I've already forgotten the match, idiot I am.
