Lu over Melzer...momentum and crowd fav Lu should dispatch an over-rated Jurgens...

Think little buck forty five "Gilles Simon" puts a hardcourt beatdown on James Blake?
 
Wouldn't shock me.
 
Also wouldn't shock me if no Americans play in either DC or Cincy SFs this Saturday.
 
I can't possibly be more negative on the state of US tennis.  Outside Williams girls and Bryan Bros, it is horrific.

Gilles is my other hard lean but my book has no line up yet.Blake has been average while Simon has been on point barring his loss to Blake In Cinn. I see a revenge factor coming...

Sickening if Blake loses to that little pipsqueak.  On a fast hardcourt like Beijing, Blake should rip this little fart apart, but he won't.
 
Not betting it, but I am figuring Blake does what he always does..........lose.

Na Li's comments on her upcoming match with Venus Williams...

Li will face world No 8 Venus Williams today and she believes she has a chance to make history.

"I'll try to push her hard and give her a hard time," Li said. "The whole world knows she is a very powerful player, but I have defeated top-10 players several times before, so I won't write myself out of the Olympics."

Hmmmmmmm...might lay some wood on Li +300...

Why Li Na's opponents are shaking in their shoes
BEIJING: Her quick reflex and athleticism are not new in tennis
world but local favourite Li Na's scintillating form in the Beijing Olympics might have to do something with her electric heels.

The Chinese media is abuzz how a pair of shoes has made Li such a formidable opponent in the court and effected a marked improvement in the 26-year-old's game.

'The China Daily' claims it's the space-age shoe from Nike that has made her almost float in the court and sting opponents, including third seed Svetlana Kuznetsova and Japanese Ayumi Morita who were swamped in straight sets.

According to the daily, each 'Zoom Court Luna' that Li slips into weighs just 227g, which is exactly half the weight of shoes worn by her peers. No other tennis player uses the shoe, claims the report.

Making of the shoes involve Lunarlite foam, which was developed by NASA and according to Nike shoe designer Kevin Hoffer, it makes the shoes at least 30 per cent lighter than the rest.

According to him, this mushy foam is not only soft but also bounces back. It reduces the pressure on feet and distributes body weight more evenly.

"When I first saw them, I didn't believe they were tennis shoes because they are so beautiful and light. After two days, fell in love with them and I made a call to say these were the shoes I wanted," Li was quoted as saying.
