Well you know, Roddick already did win his first slam, it just wasn't official.
At the US Open in 2001, the umpire lost the match for Roddick against Hewitt. Roddick really won you know. And of course, winning the quarterfinal means that he was only a few points away from the title, since he apparently would have just rolled over Kafelnikov and Sampras.
So really, this is the count down to his SECOND grand slam.
He's clearly the favourite here. 7 time Slam winner Agassi, and slam finalists Nalbandian and Ferrero - who the hell are they?
