Here we go: Rafael Nadal to reach the final (or as far as he can go without playing Federer!)
Other good chances: Robin Soderling, Nickolay Davydenko, Fernando Gonzales and Mardy Fish
Backed Thomas Johannson to win this a few years back before the first round and Marat safin to win the US Open before it started as well! Both of these were around the 50-1 mark. I somehow have a knack of picking tennis outsiders, but i haven't tried my luck at it since, except for Guillermo Coria to win the French Open 2 years ago @ 30-1 (he reached the semis). Although i guess you could also say that no one was dominating world tennis back then like Federer is now!
Interesting to see how these outsiders perform!
