My Fantasy 2012 Olympics Men's Draw - Lower Top Half

I formulated my own 2012 Olympic Games men's draw based on this week's rankings (July 23, 2012).  What I did was to randomly place the top 64 players (like the Olympics) all over the draw but allowing only four entries per country.  If a fifth entry is still in the top 64, I skipped him for the next player.  I did not follow the Olympic rule of reserving three slots for small countries since that would just weaken the field.

Now, this is how the lower top half of the men's draw looked like -

Janko Tipsarevic (SRB) vs. Marcos Baghdatis (CYP)

Lukas Kubot (POL) vs. Mikhail Youzhny (RUS)

Richard Gasquet (FRA) vs.  Gilles Muller (LUX)

Alejandro Falla (COL) vs. Juan Monaco (ARG)

Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. Alex Bogomolov Jr. (USA)

Matthew Ebden (AUS) vs. Denis Istomin (UZB)

Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER)  vs.  Yun Hsun Lu (TPE)

Thomaz Bellucci (BRA) vs. Andy Murray (GBR) 

To know who wins in each match up, I used the Head-to-Head data available at www.atptennis.com.  It's interesting how things turned out!
