It might be a fluke, but I don't think so.  Andy Roddick, Nikolay Davydenko, and Ernests Gulbis are back.  These three players are talented and good players, but recently slipped down the rankings because of inconsistency, illness, and injuries.

Andy Roddick, probably from the French Open onward, was suffering from mononucleosis, until about now.  Roddick made it to only the third round of French Open, and fourth round of Wimbledon, and suffered from more upsets during the start of the US hard court season.

Then he won the tournament in Qatar, a warm-up for the Australian Open.  He beat Federer in straight sets, then beat Nadal in the final.  That put Davydenko in the group of players that beat Federer and Nadal in consecutive matches: Davydenko, Del Potro, and Djokovic. 

Davydenko played good tennis at the Australian Open, making the quarterfinals before losing to Roger Federer.  Davydenko was up a set and a break, and had break points to go up a double break.  However, Federer was able to up his gam...
