Pacific Life Open

Hmm, this suicide pool for the women's side (for the Pacific Life Open) is definitely going to be tough (through www.talkabouttennis.com) - have a bunch of no names playing since the seeds all get 1st round byes so a tough choice (ended up going with Natalie Dechy - only one I had confidence in). And the men's draw is finally out - some interesting potential matchups (e.g., Murray vs. Roddick in the 4th round, Federer vs. Roddick in the qtrs., Tsonga vs. Nadal in the 4th round, Blake vs. Gasquet in the 4th round, etc.). But of course, unfortunately, the draw people screwed up again by having Ancic vs. Monfils in the 1st round - sheesh - sorry to have to lose one of those players on the 1st/2nd day of play in the men's draw (Thurs. or Fri.); guess the problem is that both player's rankings have fallen so they're both unseeded. And unfortunately probably a match we won't see on TV, but perhaps can listen to if it's one of the late matches on Thurs. or Fri. Although can probably pay to see it through the internet I believe (through the www.atptennis.com site - master series TV).
