Crampadelic!

Once again, the US Open is proving that its conditions can reduce magnificently well-conditioned athletes to guys who look as if they have crapped their pants! First Baghdatis cramps against Agassi, then Gasquet cramps against Hewitt. Think about it--the Bag Man is, what? 21? And Gasquet is just shy of 20. Scary.

Who will cramp next? Well, one has to examine the draw. It's doubtful that anyone playing Federer will have time to cramp, so let's think about the rest of the pack. Roddick plays too many short points on his own serve. Nadal seems ferociously well-conditioned. Hewitt? Nope, he'd chew the cramping appendage off before he'd allow it to defeat him. I'm betting on Andy Murray, who looks as if he's going to have a dogfight with Davydenko when their match resumes.

You heard it here first: Next to cramp--Andy Murray!
