Unbelievable Upsets

I just ended watching the match between Radek Stepanek and Roger Federer, where Stepanek won 7-6 7-6. Ouch! What an upset for the world number 1. Sad.
And the other match I watched 2 days ago also saw a MAJOR upset with the clay court specialist Rafa losing to Juan Carlos Ferrero 7-5 6-1. Subsequently, Ferrero lost in the next match.
Also Nikolay Davydenko lost to Tommy Robredo whom he had won against for the previous matches, but this time on clay, the spaniard proved to be superior. It was a REALLY tight match, 4-6 6-2 7-6(7-4). The spaniards seem to be better on clay??

A player whom I see who has potential is Simone Bolelli, a 22 years old Italian player. He was the finalist in the Munich open but lost to Fernando Gonzalez. Watched him play against Andy Roddick, and although he lost and made many stupid mistakes, but he seem to be able to progress far in future.
Without the number 1 and 2 players in the competition, will the number 3: Novak Djokovic win this tourny? hmm...
