Men's Day 9 (Tue) USOSP Pick

[shtexas]

Welcome to Day 9! Today, we finish the men's round of 16.

You will be making one pick EACH DAY of the Men’s event (NOT one each round), and once you use a player, you can never use him again. There is a “picks and results thread” posted so you can check the choices you have already made. It might be a good idea to check it so you don't duplicate a pick. It happened yesterday!

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOU FOLLOW THE POSTED SCHEDULE OF PLAY BELOW.

Post your Day 9 pick by replying IN THIS THREAD. Your pick must be in by the start of play in New York, rain or shine, that is Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 11:00 AM New York time (east coast), 8:00 AM on the west coast. For those in Europe, London is five (5) hours later than the east coast. Don’t be late as we hate making those hard decisions, but we will. This thread will be locked at 11:00 AM EDT, so please don't wait until the last minute or you may find it locked when you hit "post".

If you change your mind after you make your pick, and before the deadline, please make a second post advising us of your change - PLEASE DO NOT make your change in your original post, as we often go through the posts before closing to begin the task of updating the picks and results, and we might miss a change if you edit your original pick.

Good luck!

Tuesday’s schedule of play consists of ONLY THE 4 FOURTH ROUND MATCHES FROM BOTTOM half of the men’s draw:

John Isner USA (28) v Gilles Simon FRA (12)
Donald Young USA [W] v Andy Murray GBR (4)
David Ferrer ESP (5) v Andy Roddick USA (21)
Gilles Muller LUX v Rafael Nadal ESP (2)

[shtexas]

Open!

Rain is supposed to be on the way. But, you must make your pick for tomorrow even if today's pick does not play or finish his match.

Well, since I went with A-Rod last round thinking Ferrer would be too much for him, I guess I have to follow through with my guess, even though Andy impressed me yesterday.
