A fan has his face painted like Shrek in the crowd third round match between Mikhail Youzhny of Russia and Milos Raonic of Canada during day six of the 2011 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on January 22, 2011 in Melbourne, Australia.

I've always believed that the fourth round is one of the most difficult rounds to notch a Slam victory, especially if you haven't been this way before, as it is for the Latvian and the German.

You've made it to the second week, a victory automatically makes you a contender for the title, and you'll always be referred to as a Grand Slam quarterfinalist. Kind of like being nominated for an Academy Award.

I'm rooting for three upsets, although I think we might see six. Yesterday seeping into today.

What do you see?
