A quarterfinal match tonight in San Jose, CA.

This may not be stellar tennis, but it's an intriguing match.

They have a 1-1 career head-to-head.

Both times they played was in 2009.  Hewitt won at Wimbledon and Del Potro won in Washington D.C. on hard courts.

This actually a pretty even pick at this point.  Del Potro is on his way back up after an injury and Hewitt is trying to hang on and have another good year.

Prediction:  Del Potro in 2 tough sets.  7-5, 7-6
