US Open Day 2

29/8/13 Day 2

I do apologize for it being later but I was out and I got information from highlights

 

Womens

Heather Watson went out to Romanian Simona Halep. Watson started well in the first set but this seemed to be the thing that started Halkep up. As the Romanian got better winning the second 6-4 and the third 6-2 and better I think that the last 16 will be as far as she can go but you never know in this game.  Watson needs to work on her stamina.

Caroliine Wosniacki had a major scare as she was 5-2 down in the second set but she did manage to beat Ying Ying Duan 6-2 7-5 If she has problems at this stage I can not imagine her winning but a quarter final or semi and I feel she will have done well

Victoria Azarenka destroyed Dinah Pfizenmaeir 6-0 60 and with form like this I have to think that she is the favourite for the us open as she seemed to be awesome

Also  Victoria Duval caused one of the shocks of the tournament by beating Sam Stosur by 2 sets to 1 and I feel that she will be quite happy with herself she will find it a lot harder in the next few rounds but she will be very happy to be in the second round

Mens

In the first round Roger Federer beat Grega Zemlja in straight sets. But getting the win at the end seemed to be the most difficult thing for him to do. Federrer won the first and second sets quite easily but the third was quite tough and it says to me that there might not be that thing in him but he will bet better and better a quarter is realistic but he has got an outside chance of winning this with his experience.

Serbian Novak Djokovic had no problem handling Ricardas Berankis as he won 6-1 6-2 6-2. If he can keep form like this up there are very few people that can stop him going to at least the semi finals but I would think that he will be in the final. The early rounds can tell someone’s form and in my opinion Djokovic blew his opponent out of the water good form
