I like Ram a lot more than any of the other dogs ... Hewitt has looked good at times and shaky at others. Desperation level should be similar. Both guys would love to have a crack at a world tour tournament title.

Harrison has a decent chance. He looks like he wants to win this tournament more than anyone ... except maybe Ram. All he has to do is beat Isner in the obligatory tiebreak, and he is halfway there. lol.

Tipsy might be a good fade, but Bellucci is always tough to trust. You never know when he's going to get down on himself and let the match get away from him. He should be up for this one, though. He beat Ferrer earlier this year, but it was one of those bail-out situations, not a semifinal.

I know Almagro has struggled this week, but Hajek has been the beneficiary of a soft draw. Jarkko has been garbage this year. Zopp is a nice player, but he's not on Almagro's level on the clay. Plus, Almagro's serve is good enough to bail him out of a lot of tight spots. That's a major reason why he's been able to limp into the semifinals.

Ferrer looks like he will smash whoever is in his path. Never say never, though ...

Haven't really looked at the Umag matches. I'd like to think Dolgo has a good chance. He needs points badly with the way his year is going.

Bellucci or Hajek are two that Im going to look at. Verdasco has looked good ...and Granollers is Granollers.

Ram is the only one I'm going to consider.. he does too many things well and will be a nightmare of a matchup
