The fourth day of The US Men's Clay Court Championship in Houston, Texas wasn't too exciting. I was really excited to watch the Taylor Dent, Guillermo Cañas match. But it didn't live up to the hype. Argentina's Guillermo Cañas seemed so comfortable on the clay and didn't let Dent get any chance of a lead. Cañas beat the American, 62 62 in just over an hour.
I was also excited to see the Tommy Haas, Marcel Granollers match. I actually enjoyed watching it. The German wildcard, Haas was looking for a spot in the final eight, but he had to overcome sixth seed from Spain, Marcel Granollers. Granollers is ranked 22 places above Haas, but Haas has been playing well for a while and I was expecting him to win. The first set went Granollers' way, 6-4. But Haas stepped up his game to outlast Granollers in the end, 46 62 63.
Russia's Evgeny Korolev and Thailand's Bjorn Phau were the other winners. Korolev knocked out Spain's Daniel Gimeno-Traver, 63 76(4). And Phau played well to pass Atlanta's Scoville Jenkins, 64 76(2).
Who I Want to Win: John Isner
Who I Think Will Win: Guillermo Cañas
