not a win, necessarily, but at least a SF or Final appearance. He's a very good player, this is a great surface for him, and as a neighbor to the US, a victory would be good for tennis in the US. It's not like we're going to have a winner in the next 8 years or anything

Besides, his game is very "American"--a huge serve and not much else.
