For the first time in a million tournaments, Federer was knocked out in the very first round by a lucky loser. Now, Tennis can be what it meant to be. A competitive game that has some drama to it. With Federer, you know what you are going to get. A brilliant player with a brilliant shot-making ability who decimates 99% of his opponents. But, with him out, you don’t know who’s the favorite at Pan Pacific Open. Guys seem to be happy too! My Money is on one of these youngsters. I think Djokovic will be hard to beat and so is Murray. With Blake out as well, nobody should be able to stop him, except maybe Davydenko.
