My Round 3 Key Matchups:

Heat 4: Joel Parkinson (AUS) vs. Daniel Wills (AUS)
Heat 5: Adriano de Souza (BRA) vs. Mick Campbell (AUS)
Heat 9: Mick Fanning (AUS) vs. Ben Bourgeois (USA)
Heat 14: Dean Morrison (AUS) vs. Jordy Smith (ZAF)

My Round 3 Key Matchup Revisited:

Heat 8: Kelly Slater (USA) vs. Travis Logie (ZAF)

Look for some payback in this heat.  Travis Logie almost changed the 2005 ASP World Title race by beating Kelly Slater in their heat at the Brazilian Nova Schin Festival.  Then Nathan Hedge stepped-up with a heat win against Andy Irons and ended up sealing the deal for Slater.  That gave Slater his 8th World Title and 2008 looks to be another title year.
