Guillermo Cañas vs. Carlos Moya Stadium 3 – third match

 It’s a battle between a former No. 1 and the man who took down the current No. 1. Guillermo Cañas has been playing well since his return from suspension last September, winning five Challengers and one ATP title. Now he’s proven how big a threat he is by taking out Roger Federer as a lucky loser in Indian Wells. If Cañas plays with the consistency he brought to his match against Federer, this will be a tough match for Moya. Cañas won the only time they played, at Roland Garros in 2002. No one’s had much of a glimpse of Cañas since he’s been back, so Moya may not know what’s coming.

Winner: Cañas

Alicia Molik vs. Ana Ivanovic Stadium 1 – second match

In a day that’s low on good women’s match-ups, this one shows the most promise. Molik is a former Top 10 player who’s been struggling to climb back up after illness kept her off the tour for part of 2005 and ’06. Ivanovic is touted to be a Top10 lock, but hasn’t yet lived up to the billing. Still, Ivanovic is the definite favorite. She’s ranked No. 14 and is coming off a final in Tokyo and a quarterfinal in Antwerp, losing to players like Kim Clijsters and Martina Hingis. Molik, currently ranked No. 66, hasn’t gotten out of the round of 16 at her past four events, and she’s lost to much unknown players like Olga Savchuk and Gisela Dulko.

Winner: Ivanovic

Olivier Rochus vs. Andy Roddick Stadium 1 – third match

A 5’5”, Rochus is the shortest man in the ATP, which always makes him fun to watch. His small stature forces him to have variety other players don’t. He scrambled solidly to defeat American Vince Spadea 6-1, 6-2 in his second round. But Roddick’s big serve will be tough for Rochus to handle. Roddick won easily the only time they played in a tour event. Plus, with Federer out Roddick has extra motivation. He should see the opening and go for it.

Winner: Roddick
