That´s great!

[SAFINNO1]

At least with this being a big draw and Marat being seeded he has a bye into into R64.

This has not been a happy hunting ground for Marat as has never gone past the R16 - hopefully he has nice draw and turn things around as IW and Miami dont particulalrly thrill me when it comes to Marat

UDACHI MARAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Federer & Hewitt Brace for Fourth-Round Showdown

World No. 1 Roger Federer and Lleyton Hewitt - who have shared the past five Pacific Life Open titles - could meet in the fourth round of this year's tournament, following the release of the men's draw. Both players come into the tournament on the back of tournament victories, with Federer winning Dubai and Hewitt victorious in Las Vegas.
Top seed and three-time defending champion Federer is the only player in tournament history to win three consecutive titles. Hewitt won back-to-back titles in 2002-03. Federer leads Hewitt 11-7 in career meetings and has won their past nine battles.

Federer has his eyes set on a number of records during the Pacific Life Open:

Currently on a personal-best winning streak of 41 matches, Federer would set a new Open Era record (since 1968) for the longest winning streak (47 matches) if he wins the title. Guillermo Vila currently holds the record of 46 matches.

Federer has 495 career match victories. He would reach the elusive 500 match wins milestones if he advances to the final.

With $29.88 million in career earnings, Federer is poised to top $30 million during the tournament.

If he wins the title Federer have won the past eight tournaments has has played, tying the record currently shared by Bjorn Borg and Ivan Lendl.

Second seed Rafael Nadal plays his first match against the winner of veteran Frenchman Arnaud Clement and a qualifier. In the fourth round the Spaniard is seeded to meet in-form Russian Mikhail Youzhny, who won their meeting in Dubai last week.

Third seed Andy Roddick opens against the winner of Feliciano Lopez and Vince Spadea, and is seeded to meet talented French youngster Richard Gasquet in the fourth round.

Fourth seed Nikolay Davydenko will play his first match against the winner of Sam Querrey and Christophe Rochus. The Russian is seeded to meet Andy Murray in the fourth round, but the Scot could first need to beat Marat Safin in a tough third-round assignment.

In other potential early-round meetings of note, fifth seed Fernando Gonzalez may meet ninth seed Tommy Haas in a replay of their Australian Open semifinal. And sixth seed James Blake could run into fast-rising Serb teen Novak Djokovic in the fourth round. Marcos Baghdatis could meet Tomas Berdych in the third round. Eighth seed Ivan Ljubicic could meet 10th seed David Nalbandian in the fourth round.
