woops...might change that

 

[Geddy Lee]

The oddest/funniest moment at the Open will be... Davydenko in another match fixing scandal after losing round 1 match to Llodra.

Llodra has lost one singles match out of 10 (9-1) since arriving in Aus. He could very well beat him.

But Davydenko is innocent so it wouldn't matter.

If Gonzalez loses first round, he drops from 7 to 23, which is about where he belongs.
