Draw was made today:

Team GB are completely screwed.
Henman should win his first round match but the French guy that he'll probably face in the second round is pretty decent from what I've seen. If he did make it the third round then the rest of his journey would probably look like this: Ancic - Safin - Hewitt - Federer - Nadal. Not a chance for Tim, not a chance.
Rusedski has it even tougher. He could face Nadal in the third round which is pretty unlucky and to get there he's a got a couple of matches that won't be easy, especially with an American in the first round.
Murray still has to get past the qualifying stages and with him having a bad shoulder that's not guaranteed. If he did make it into the draw then it'd be tough for him to get very far because he'd alost certainly end up against one of the top seeds very early on.
It was looking petty good for GB just a few days ago. Rusedski's been on fantastic form, Henman had a great run last year at the US Open, and Murray's only been improving since Wimbledon. Looks like it'll be at least 2006 before a Brit win a Grand Slam again.

On the off chance that anybody cares:
Women's final:
Clijsters v. Pierce
Men's semi-finals:
Federer v. Hewitt
Ginepri v. Agassi
Women's final:
Clijsters v. Pierce
Men's semi-finals:
Federer v. Hewitt
Ginepri v. Agassi
Agassi through in 5 sets.
Today's results:
Hewitt beat Dent in the match of the tournament so far. Sharapova easily got through (though I didn't actually watch that match), and Venus beat Serena in a very boring match.

$69? That's a great price for the men's final. I went to Wimbledon this year on the first Friday and it cost £45 for tickets on Centre Court. They were good seats but still, £45 seems like a lot, especially when it rained for half the day. That problem doesn't occur as much in New York. However, you do have to take into account the cost of flying over to America which will be a fair amount I suspect. Not worth it unless you're staying there for a week or two.

One of my mates managed to get his hands on tickets for a week today to see the Men's singles final lucky bloke!

Leyton Hewitt also blatantly wants to be American.
