Donald Young started strong but finished weak against Lleyton Hewitt (who I think is a dark-horse to go deep — he’s a feisty Aussie who knows his time is running out), but this tournament was a good showng for Young, who won four matches counting the qualies.  Jo-Wilfried Tsonga rolled over Taylor Dent.

Tonight, Roddick goes up against Feliciano Lopez, while the giant Georgia Bulldog John Isner goes up against Gael Monfils.  Roddick is the second match in the Laver Arena, and Isner-Monfils is the third match on Margaret Court, so it’s a night that will be worth staying up late.
