Roger Federer VS Rafael Nadal for the 2006 US Open Final!!!
Should be a cracker!!

Hopefully Agassi gets to finish up with a strong run.
Unlikely given that Agassi will play Nadal in the 3rd Round...
I wouldn't mind another Federer vs Agassi Final though...

Henman Vs Rusedski drawn to play each other in 1st round, winner to play Federer in 2nd round!
Ouch!!
Great, it will be good to see the pair of them knocked out early. Especially Henman.
Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

Unlikely given that Agassi will play Nadal in the 3rd Round...
Oops...my bad...Agassi won't be playing Nadal in the 3rd Round...
He will be playing Baghadatis(sp?) next though...thats going to be tough...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Andre Agassi's first-round victory at the U.S. Open was more painful than anyone realized.
Bothered by a bad back most of this season, Agassi said he could barely stand an hour after his match ended past midnight early Tuesday, and went to the hospital for a cortisone injection after waking up.
"The inflammation was pretty bad, and I just don't want to go off the court limping," Agassi told USA Network on Wednesday. "It's not what I want to do."
The 36-year-old Agassi, who will retire after the U.S. Open, was out at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on Wednesday for some practice. He plays his second-round match against eighth-seeded Marcos Baghdatis on Thursday night.
"He's going to leave it out there. I've never had a cortisone shot, but from what I've heard, you feel like you can run through walls," Andy Roddick said. "He's been playing through that pain for a couple of years now, so I think he's used to it."

The guy is an absolute legend...

He`s just won a marathon 5 setter with Marcos Baghdatis [6-4 6-4 3-6 5-7 7-5]
He needed a cortisone injection for his recurrent back problem after his 1st round match
So he`ll need to recover before Round 3
I think if he gets through his next match I think he`ll be due to play Roddick in Round 4
' He has football in his blood ' said a scout who was trying sell a player to Liverpool. ' You may be right ' Shanks said, ' but it hasn't reached his legs yet '
