First of all, the men's draw. Four non-seeded players have reached the round 4, about 25%. However three of them will probably end their campaigns in this same round - Muller vs Nadal, Young vs Murray and Monaco vs Federer are tough tasks for the non-seeds - and Ferrero has a great challenge against the serbian nº3, Janko Tipsarevic. Then, we have just 6 top-10 players in this round 4 - the 4 favourites and also Ferrer and Fish. In fact, I believe the greatest matches of this R4 are Ferrer vs Roddick and Tsonga vs Fish. I bet in both americans.
Another important stat: four americans have reached the last 16. Isner and Young will probably be defeated (play against Simon and Murray), but A-Rod and Fish can truly go through.

About women's, there is one important stat: no women have reached the 2nd week of all Slams this year. Victoria Azarenka did it in Australia, Paris and Wimbledon but was defeated by Serena in Flushing Meadows. This stat is an example of what is WTA nowadays - the tennis players are too inconsistent in Slams.
In women's R4, we just have 3 non-seeded players. The spanniard Carla Sanchéz Navarro will probably end her campaing here - against Andrea Petkovic - and the others two non-seeds played yesterday: Angelique Kerber defeated Monica Niculescu and reached the quarters for the 1st time in a Slam. Kerber will play against Pennetta (26) and one of them will reach the semis for the first time on their careers!
Actually, we had 3 germans on R4 (Kerber, Petko and Lisicki); Lisicki lost yesterday against Zvonareva, but did the R4 for the first time on her career. Great coming back is Sabine doing this year!
About Ana, she'll play against Serena to reach the quarters. Ana is the 16th seed, Serena is the 28th, but we all know that's almost impossible for Ana winning it. If she takes a set, I'd be happy.
Cheers,
Pedro Mendes
