Kim - destroyed Kutosova spelt wrong probably
Roger - defeated Britton an american wildcard
Serena (probably the most difficult) dispatched Alexa Glatch!
I am thinking this may well turn out to be an unforgettable slamwith so many previous winners on the womens side! With the incredible tussle in the mens game igniting!
It is set up for fire and drama!
I really do wish I was there I am now a regular at wimbledon and have been for the last 4 years now, started at 16 going! I love wimbledon but need to experience another slam to see how they compare. I may try and nip across the channel for the french open next year but isn't easy it kind of conflicts wiht exams!
Anyway so this years US Open.
Men contenders - Federer, Murray, Djockovic, Roddick and oh yeah nadal (maybe) and not forgetting Federer oh yeah already put that.
My heart is telling me this is Murrays time, and his title to win. My head is saying Federer will walk this. With his scintilating display at Cincinnati his first American hard court Masters title in 2 years which is incredible really consideing. His form since his win in Madrid on clay has hardly dipped where his only loss has come in Canada. In this run he's gained 2 more slams surpassed Sampras' tally of Slam titles, completed the career Grand Slam and oh yeah had twin girls... it truely is testament to a man at the start of the year who we all watched in floods of tears after losing the Australian Open to his nemesis Nadal. Making this run seem so much more remarkable. Murray on the other hand has hada stella season on the ATP tour, needs this slam to establish himself in that top 4 and confirm his position. Though it won't be easy with Del Potro and Roddick in his pathway its a tough journey to the final and Federer will meet him there!
The Womens game - WILLIAMS SISTERS!
The End.
I jest nah I actually think the womens game has incredible amount of depth i just think it all is very similar and lacks variety and belief! I like Venus Williams and would love to see her pick up another US Open and end this drought outside Wimbledon at the majors! Though the smart money would have to be on Serena whos won 3 of the last 4 majors, in incredible fashion. Outside the sisters there is Kim. playing fantastic as she did today! There is Maria who is still finding a way around that shoulder injury on serve which has given her a very unpredictable and unreliable serve! Dementieva who is a very solid player, yet just doesn't really have that final punch. Outside of that there is people such as Sam Stosur who has played very well on tour with wins over Serena Williams on the US Open series. There is Azarenka who won Miami this year though it may be a year too early for her, give it another 12 month i think and she may be hitting headlines! There is the 2 serbians Jelena and Ana though they're play is not the stuff of last year though Jelena has shown a little bit of it recently. hmmmmm there is someone else im sure
whats her name, i know that Venus and Serena arn't 1 and 2...............
Oh yeah how did i forget Safina.... one word hopeless! She is mechanical and ugly to watch every point and strike seems a big effort to clunk together all the right cogs and blots. Soon she will be usurped as world number 1 but that may depend on this slam. If she can finally explode that negativity in her head then she may do it! Then we have a real number 1 and she may win some fans.
for example Safina doesn't even have a thousand twitter followers,
Serena nearly a million!
anyway good luck to my favourite players! and I am looking forward to watching it all.
