It's not difficult to predict the outcome of these matchups in the top half of the men's draw. With the courts playing a little bit slower, look for Andre Agassi to roll into the semifinal we've all been waiting for against Lleyton Hewitt.

Lleyton Hewitt (1), Australia, vs. Younes El Aynaoui (20), Morocco
Hewitt's starting to lock into his second week of a major routine, where he becomes that much harder to beat. El Aynaoui has a big forehand, but his backhand is not strong enough. Hewitt will take care of him pretty easily.
Pick: Hewitt in straight sets

Max Mirnyi (32), Belarus, vs. Andre Agassi (6), U.S.
The Beast might be able to eak out a set against Agassi if he serves huge. Agassi will be able to quickly thwart the serve-and-volley game of Mirnyi. Agassi has been playing cleanly and efficiently. He might have one tough set, but he'll be fully prepared for his war with Hewitt.
Pick: Agassi in straight sets
