Day 4 again promises a great day of tennis - weather permitting - and a couple of tie-ups look promising:
Firstly, Roger Federer will hope that he cries tears of joy when he faces Tomas Berdych - his second-round conqueror in Athens 4 years ago. Fed-Ex wept after the Athens loss and hopes to make amends this time round; in the hopes of recapturing some of the form that has so eluded him this year.
I'm also hoping to see the David vs. Goliath match between small-sized Oliver Rochus of Belgium and hit or miss big-hitting Chilean, Fernando Gonzalez.
On the women's side, China's new star-player, Zheng Jie takes on in-form Dinara Safina. I hope Zheng can harness the power game of her Russian opponent by returning well and keeping her opponent back with her penetrating ground-strokes - just as she did to reach the 2208 Wimbledon final.
I'm also looking forward to the Elena Dementieva - Caroline Wosniacki tie. If the Russian can serve well, she has a good chance of moving to the next round. The up-and-coming Danish teenager is no push-over though and if she can keep calm at this huge world setting, she has the chance to progress to the next round.
