It's the round of 16, the most intriguing round of a Slam.
Two men, Fabio Fognini and Albert Montanes, have come this far for the first time and they play each other. The Spaniard should take it.
Roger Federer will have his way with his compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka because, well, he almost always does, especially in Slams.
Gael Monfils has beaten David Ferrer both times they've played and I don't see why he won't again.
If Richard Gasquet, who's never been this far at his home Slam, is to end Novak Djokovic's streak, he better take the first set. If not, the Unbeatable One remains.
Vera Zvonareva will be up against the power of Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, but her ability to absorb it should do her well. She'll probably need three sets. But only if she finds her first serve. Otherwise, the world No. 3 will be the next to depart.
Marion Bartoli should use the crowd to get by Gisela Dulko who doesn't always back up big Slam upsets with victories.
Defending champion Francesca Schiavone is going to have to pick apart Jelena Jankovic's serve in order to get to the final eight. I'm not so sure she can or will.
Former champion Svetlana Kuznetsova is so far under the radar I didn't even realize she was still in the draw. She should end the run of Daniela Hantuchova who made mincemeat of the computer's No. 1 in the third.
Who you got?
