...count on American players to revive the game's popularity. Sure, a hometown surprise is always possible in Queens. Slumping Andy Roddick took an Open tune-up tournament in Cincinnati, Ohio; Harvard man James Blake, ranked fifth in the world, is a serious threat; and after Andre Agassi's fairy-tale romp to last year's final, you can't discount the 36-year-old in the last tournament of his career.
