James Martin, Editor in Chief
 "There's been a buzz that Rafael Nadal might win on the Rebound Ace, which plays slower than the courts in Flushing. But Federer says the surface is playing the same as last year. The result will be the same, too: Federer will repeat as champ."

"With JH-2 out and Serena out of match-play shape, Sharapova looks to be the odds-on favorite to win."

Tony Lance, Associate Editor
"Now that Nadal appears wounded, Federer is a cinch to claim the title."

" With fellow Belgian Justine Henin-Hardenne on the sidelines Clijsters will add to her Grand Slam haul."

Christopher Chung, Associate Editor
"I was thinking Nadal had a chance, but he might not hold up for the two weeks. Who else is left? Federer. But perhaps Roddick has a chance given the way he's played him their last two matches."

"That U.S. Open validated her as a real winner, and now she [Sharapova] must be hungry for more."

Sarah Unke, Assistant Editor
"It's time for a breakthrough on the women's side. Jelena Jankovic has the fight and the game to win in Australia."

"It's same old, same old on the men's side. Federer will get the chatter going with a win at the first leg of the Grand Slam."
