Bottom Half of Men's Draw Opens Up

Everyone has been talking about how weak the bottom half of the women's draw is at this year's U.S. Open, but after Nadal's loss to David Ferrer in last night's quarterfinals, the men's draw opened up significantly. In fact, the bottom half of the women's draw is now looking relatively strong compared to the bottom half of the men's draw.
The bottom fell off the men's draw last night (sounds kind of vulgar, doesn't it?) when David Ferrer had the match of his career, beating a Rafa Nadal who has been struggling with a knee injury all tournament. (I'm still trading in my crystal ball though, as my forecasted men's winner lost as soon as Ferrer raised his hands in victory, if he did. I don't stay up that late folks.) Will Nadal ever win a Grand Slam other than the French? Or will he be a one-Grand Slam wonder?
So, back to that comparison between the weak bottom half of the women's draw versus the weak bottom half of the men's draw. At the bottom of the women's draw, there remain the number 4, 6 and 18 seeds. And Agnes Szavay. Who? Well, unseeded Mats Wilander had a run far into the French his first showing in 1982. In fact, he won the dang thing. So, stranger things have happened.
And on the men's side? The 3, 15, 17 and 20 seeds remain. Not exactly a blockbuster line-up is it? Except there Djokovic is. Maybe I should have stuck with my crystal ball forecast earlier this summer and picked him to win the tourney.
One crystal ball forecast remains: Roddick beating Federer. Oh yeah. I'm feeling real good about that one.
