James Martin, Editor in Chief
"Roger Federer-- This hasn't been his best season, and yet he's positioned to win his third Slam of the year. And I'm not impressed with the competition at the moment. Rafael Nadal is nursing injuries and the court surface doesn't work to his advantage. Andy Roddick? Who knows with him. Novak Djokovic will be the strongest of the lot, but if he mets Roger again, you can bet Fed will put a beatdown on Djoker."

"Maria Sharapova-- Is there still a women's tour? Hard to tell these days with the injuries and withdrawals. Somehow, though, I like Maria Sharapova again. New York plays to her outgoing, win-at-almost-all-costs personality, and she's most comfortable, it seems, on these courts. There will be some strong contenders, like Serena and JHH, but Sharapova--barring injury--should be the last player standing."

"Rafael Nadal-- You’d have to be crazy to pick as your U.S. Open champion a player who 1.) recently retired from a Masters event with a left arm injury and 2.) has worn a wrap under his right knee since Wimbledon. If that player is Rafael Nadal, call me crazy, because this is Nadal’s year in Flushing. The Spaniard has a great draw until the semifinals; Janko Tipsarevic, Fernando Gonzalez, or Ivan Ljubicic, the fast-fading Croat, could cause some problems, but nothing Nadal won’t be able to handle. By the time Novak Djokovic meets Nadal in the semifinals, he’ll be exhausted by some combination of Lleyton Hewitt, Tommy Robredo, Mikhail Youzhny, Radek Stepanek, or Carlos Moya (and Mario Ancic in the first round). Nadal should have won Wimbledon. It’s time for a major outside of Paris."

"Justine Henin-- Any number of things could go wrong for Henin in this packed half of the draw, but I see her getting through to the final for a rematch with Maria Sharapova, or possibly a meeting with Anna Chakvetadze. If Serena Williams isn’t at full strength, Henin’s quarter won’t be so difficult, and her semifinal opponent—Venus Williams, Jelena Jankovic, or Ana Ivanovic—should have a lot of mileage on her shoes. Henin’s shoulder nearly caused her default before the Rogers Cup final, but she won that match and has had time to rest, unlike last year, when she won in New Haven days before the Open began."
