Wow, I bet Federer is not happy about that draw!

Why not? Nadal, Hewitt, and Roddick will beat up each other on the other side before he has to play any of them. And if Roddick can beat Blake in two sets, Roger shouldn't have a problem with him.
But I was wondering, is it likely that Agassi will pull out of Cincinnati if he gets to the finals of Montreal?
I'd like to see the Gasquet v. Lopez 1st round match but that probably won't be shown. At least the top players are all entered to play....but the question is are they ready to play and will they play up to form? I wonder what Safin is like now after that knee surgury? If he is back in form he would make a tough SF for Roger. As for Nadal.....he could have an easy time if Hewitt and Roddick are still floundering. So basically the draw doesn't tell anything until we see how everyone plays in the 1st and 2nd rounds.

Major blarfing here. Youzhny/Nadal and Ferrero/Roddick 2nd round matches. 
Gaudio/Robredo again, right away! Revenge for opera boy?
Moya's shitty draws are not going to build his confidence any.
Davydenko/Nalbandian R16 possible again, but tough draw for both so perhaps not... again.

Rogi has a brilliant draw! Players who have defeated him before: Nalbandian, Henman, Gasquet, Nadal, Roddick, Hewitt, Berdych, Ancic, JCF and even some of the hotter players this summer Rusedski and Mathieu are all on the opposite side.

Actually both Roger and Marat seem to have very reasonable draws i.e if Marat doesn't pull out. I have a feeling that if AA gets to the finals of Rogers Masters then he will pull out of Cincy and that means that there is a very good chance of a Roger/Marat semi-finals.
The other half of the draw looks more competitve on paper but I think the only player likely to prevent a Roddick/Nadal QF is unfortunately Monfils (nobody else has had any worthwhile results this year). Ofcourse, Tomas could take out Nadal in the 1st round but I doubt it.
The top half in that part of the draw seems to be a QF between Hewitt and PHM/Seb and we will know whether it is PHM or Seb by the end of the 2nd round.
