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.

Oh my God. Nadal is out, beaten by James Blake, the same James Blake who knocked out Rusedski, and the same James Blake who has an English mother.
That leaves that half of the draw wide open with Agassi (7th seed) the highest ranked player there. So, anybody fancy an Agassi vs. Federer final?

Thankfully they didn't, but I don't actually think she's there. I haven't seen her once. Maybe she's scared of planes, or maybe Murray's too tight to pay for her ticket.

Many, but giving you a full list would take ages. I may post one later.

Ok people, everybody watch the highlights of the Federer/Santoro game. In the second game, second point, Santoro plays a brilliant shot. Maybe a little lucky but still, it's fantastic to watch.
Next round: Venus vs. Serena
Oh Clement, I think I love you.
.Murray. 2 6 6 7 0
Clement 6 7 2 6 6
6-0 in the final set, fantastic. According to the BBC this was because he had to call the trainer out because of cramps, and all that after he did his 'Hush' thing after his last match, saying that he'd proved his fitness.
So, that's three five set matches for Murray now. Loses his first after gaining a two set let lead. Wins his next but throws up in the process. Loses the next one thanks to cramp.
Also, the BBC managed to get through an article about him without using the word brave, so bravo to them.
