 Andreas Beck - Link to ATP Profile Live TV over Internet links at end of post
Roger Federer will meet German Andreas Beck in the second round.
The 24 year old Beck has a career high ranking of 33, though he is currently down at 104.
This is the first time the two have met, but it is hard to see him causing much difficulty for Fed.
Rafael Nadal will play Uzbekistani Denis Istomin on Friday.

 US Open Official Website The draw for the US Open has been made and is now available in full on the the US Open website.
I would say that Rafael Nadal definitely has an easier earlier run than Roger Federer.
Rafa starts in the first four rounds against players he has a good success rate against, though Ljubicic did beat him on the hard courts of Indian Wells earlier this year.
Then he has tougher challenges against Verdasco and Murray before a possible final against Federer. Of course beating Murray and Federer is a massive call, but then this IS the US Open  .
Roger Federer on the other hand gets some hard opposition from the third round when he will have to battle it out with two players who beat him in their latest encounters (Hewitt and Soderling) as well as an easier Melzer between, before a semi with Djokovic and hopefully a finals date with Rafa.
Well that is the theory, let the mouthwatering reality ensue!
Potential opponents for our champions are as follows (if all goes according to seed):
Rafael Nadal:
Round 1: Gabashvili
Round 2: Istomin
Round 3: Kohlschreiber
Round 4: Ljubicic
Quarterfinals: Verdasco
Semifinals: Murray
Final: Federer
Roger Federer:
Round 1: Dabul
Round 2: Berrer
Round 3: Hewitt
Round 4: Melzer
Quarterfinals: Soderling
Semifinals: Djokovic
Final: Nadal

1. Rafael Nadal, Spain
2. Roger Federer, Switzerland

 Congratulations Roger for a well earned victory today over Mardy Fish, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (1), 6-4.
It will perhaps count as one of the easier titles Fed has won, given short time on the court including one walk over, but Fish kept in the game and made it very, very tight. He ran him very close, claiming the first set and pushing him all the way in the second with a follow up tie break.
Finally in the third Fed’s dominance snuck through and he was able to claim the Cincinnati crown for the fourth time.
Federer has thus broken a long drought, and claimed his first Masters title (his 17th) since winning this title in Cincinnati last year.
Since then he’d had a run of three finals losses this year.
Roger now goes fifth in the list of ATP titles (63), even with Bjorn Borg.
A great warm up for the US Open, and hopefully a prelude of more great things to come for our champion!

So finally I decided we needed to create the ultimate Federer vs Nadal tool – a head to head by age chart.
I took the key milestones in their careers and sorted these by age, so you can see which [...]

Roger Federer will not get the opponent today we all hoped for, but that does not mean we won’t enjoy some great tennis. Fed seems to have found some new form and confidence, improving with each match.
The last time the two played, back in Indian Wells earlier [...]

Roger Federer played his part, having to play fine tennis to overcome Nikolay Davydenko in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5
But a determined Marcos Baghdatis and his fierce serve were too much for Rafael Nadal, who lost 6-4, 4-6 and 6-4.

Roger Federer will have enjoyed his break after the walkover win yesterday, and will face a stiff challenge from the Russian, Nikolay Davydenko. The two have met 15 times before with just two wins for the Russians. Tellingly though, those two victories were very recent, and he [...]
