I agree with you about Roddick's inconsistencies, and he also has no chance of beating Federer in the quarterfinals, but Blake might finally have his Grand Slam breakthrough this year. He has never made it past the quarters of a slam, but with Baghdatis losing in rd. 1, the only other top see in his quarter is Davydenko, who he has never lost to before.
As for Americans to get excited about...How can you not love the John Isner story? He just graduated from U. of Georgia, and has moved up like 900 spots in the rankings in 2 months. He is 6ft. 9in. tall, and has a HUGE serve. I played him several times in college, and not only is he a baller on the court, but he is a genuinely nice guy. He gets to play Federer in the 3rd rd. now. He is definitely someone to keep an eye on as far as young Americans go.
