On Sportsillustrated, Jon Wertheim makes his analysis of the men’s seeds chances at the US Open. He foresees a final between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, but also admits the Serb has early tests like a first round against Mario Ancic and a likely second against Radek Stepanek.

Jon Wertheim’s forecast on the US Open

FEDERER-RODDICK
MURRAY-BLAKE
YOUZHNY-HEWITT
SAFIN-NALBANDIAN
