Tennis US Open

[SkinnyDave]

US open is about to begin soon

I'd like to see Marray defend it but its hard to be against Nadal who is in blistering form

Who are you all going for?

 

[Liam]

Del Potro. On form, won at Flushing Meadows before, think he's really up for it, but the top 3 will be very hard to beat.

Maria Sharapova has pulled out of the US Open stating a shoulder injury was the reason.

 

[SkinnyDave]

I shall miss those legs for a while then

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I know that Laura Robson has improved somewhat, but I was surprised to hear of her seeded at number 31 in the US Open from what I have just heard on a radio programme.

 

[SkinnyDave]

Great start for Nadal
On form he is going to be hard to beat this year

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Laura Robson won her first round match, by beating Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain in straight sets, 7-5 6-0.

She then defeated fellow 19 year old Caroline Garcia of France in the second round 6-4 7-6 (7-5 tiebreak) to proceed through to the third round.

In what was a shock result, Lleyton Hewitt moved into last 32 of the Mens Singles by defeating Juan Martin del Potro in a five set match 6-4 5-7 3-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-1

Well he won the 2012 Wimbledon men's doubles with Frederik Nielsen, and hasn't exactly been performing disastrously since then either...

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Our lesser lights of Evans and Robson at least made it as far as the third round this year before being defeated by higher ranked opponents.

 

[SkinnyDave]

That will be Federer dumped out on his backside then!!
Shame I was looking forward to a renewed battle between him and Nadal

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lleyton Hewitt did not produce another shock result (after defeating del Potro in the previous round), as he lost in five sets to Mikhail Youzhny... 6-3 3-6 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 7-5

I think Murray would have a better chance in the singles?

Well, Johnathon Marray, together with his partner Colin Fleming, did very well in the Mens Doubles and proceeded to the last eight, before losing 7-6 (9-7) 6-4 to the number one seeds, Bob and Mike Bryan.

It should be a good final in the Mens Singles between Djokovic and Nadal. Nadal has played quite well on the type of surfaces there and has been careful with his health in the preparations leading up to the US Open.

Mouth watering final I hope Nadal emerges victorious

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Today sees a repeat of the 2012 US Open Womens Singles final between Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka. This year, they have met three times in tournaments, with Azarenka leading 2-1 in victories.

The first set started with both players have their serve broken.

Williams victorious in three sets 7-5 6-7 (6-8) 6-1.

Told you Nadal is now only 4 slams behind Federer

Nadal's victory by 6-2 3-6 6-4 6-1 was really emphatically proved as soon as the fourth set was commenced as Djokovic seemed to be somewhat overwhelmed on this type of surface.

The top three Mens Singles Grand Slam winners are now:-

17...Federer
14...Sampras
13...Nadal

Nadal will at least match Federer in terms of slam titles
