The first game of my day was between Russian Etaterina Makarova and Chineese sensation Li Na, in the first set Li Na broke in the 7th game and held Maracova to love to win the set by 6 games to 4. In the second set Makarova had never had the lead in the set until the 10th game even though she served first and she did get the game back to 3-3 before Na broke again ands she broke back in the next game. After the 10th game she was able to hold and keep Li away but this was a very interesting set with some very good shots from Li and Makarova but no one seemed to want control of the set with all the breaks. The game did go into a fie break and you would think that would mean that there would be a good shot or 2 there wasn’t and Makarova won the second set by 7 points to 5.
Li gets the break in the 6th game to lead by 4
games to 2 but Makarova had a couple of shots that went long in this game again
Makarova hit a few bad shots in the next which put Li 5-2 up and in a very
strong position but Li was getting better at this stage winning the set 6-2. Li
gets better and deserves to get through to the semi finals and be the first Chinese
woman to do so in their history to reach the US open semis and for this reason I can not see her reach the final

The first match of the day was between Scotsman Andy Murray
and Swiss player Stanislas Wawrinka. The set was going with serve except for
the final one that went for Wawrinka who was much the stronger player but the
final game went on for 12 minutes as Murray had a few game points and Wawrinka had 8 deuces and Wawrinka could not
kill of the set as he had 8 set points.
In the sixth game Wawrinka broke Murray to love and serve
holds throughout this set to leave Wawrinka needing just one more game he gets
it with Andy only having 30 and looks
like he here that he can beat Andy well at this point as he is not showing his
quality
Wawrinka had an early break in the third to make the score
3-1 and Murray does not seem to be here at all Wawrinka broke again to make the
score 5-2 but Andy Murray did have a few quality shots in this game. Wawrinka
gets the third by 6 games to 2 getting himself from 30 love down and hitting
some amazing shots to ensure a semi final position. Andy Murray does have a lot
to look at from this match. This would be his first semi final appearance and because of this I can not see him go any further
The last match of the day was between Serb Novak Djokovic and Russian
Mikhail Youzhny. Djokovic saved himself a couple of breaks in the first game
and got a break in the second. Youzhny won a quality rally in the final game
but Djokovic won a quality rally to win the set by 6 games to 3 and looked
quite impressive.
Djokovic got an early break in the second to lead the set by
2-1 and then 4-1and 5-1 and this set looks completely in Novac’s control. Novac
does win the set 6-2 and looks like he is in complete control.
In the third set Youzhny managed to get his break after so
many times trying it looked a little like Djokovic had beaten him mentally but
this break put him 4-2 up and was very lucky with a double bounce in the 7th
gameand then in the next point playing out of his skin but Djokovic broke back
in the 7th with 5 points in a row to leave the match back in his
control. Youzhny managed to get the break back and outplay Djokovic in the 7th
game that made you think where was Djokovic.In the final game of the set
Youzhny held his serve to win the set by 6 games to 3. But with the breaks that
Youzhny had has he got the strength Im not sure
In the fourth Djokovic took complete control to lead the set
5-0 and at this stage looks awesome but if there is one thing Youzhney will
remember about this set its his shot jist in from wide in the 6th
game. Djokovic won the final match in a close game with an amazing shot to win
the set by 6 games to 0. I think that he is showing the form here to possibly win this
My final Nadal vs Djockovic
