Day 4 US Open

Day 4

 

Womens

Caroline Wosniaki of Denmark cruised into the third round of the US open yesterday with a 6-1 6-3 win over Chantelle Scheepers of South Africa I think that she will be one to watch.

Serena Williams also hadn’t got a problem as she cruised into the third round after beating by 6-3, 6-0 after beating Galina Voskobeva and will definitely be there somewhere as she makes her way into the third round.

Canadian Milos Raonic had no problem defeating Spaniard Pablo Andujar as he did it in straight sets 6-1, 6-2 6-4 and assures his spot in the third round.

American John Isner had a bit of a classic as he beat French man Gail Monfis 7-5 6-2 4-6 7-6 I do not hold much hope for him but anything is possible.

Tommy Robredo of Spain defeated Frank Dankavich of Nijeria 6-4 6-4 6-1 in straight sets to reach the third round.

Rafa Nadal had no problems in defeating Brazilian Rogero Dutra as he only droped 3 games as he won 6-2 6-1 6-0.

Brit Evans pulled of a major shock as he defeated Austrillian Berard Tomac ecpecially as he lost the first set 6-1 but he clawed his way back in with a 6-3 and a tie break win 7-6 to lead the match he had the killer instinct to beat Tomic 6-3 in the final set.

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

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

 

US Open Day1

I am writing my blog about the US Open Tennis.  I am really interested in this and I hope other people will like my summary and thoughts.

26/8/13……………………..Day one

In the men’s draw

Rafa Nadal blew away Ryan Harrison is straight sets but it is too early to look at him as a contender. It did take him a while to warm up though as he won the first 6-4 but then you began to see his power as he got better in the last 2 sets.

 

 

Unseeded Brit Dan Evans pulled off one of the matches of his life to beat no 11 seed Kei Nishkori in straight sets.  This will do massive things to his confidence. I think that pulling a result out of the bag like this could put him up to a lot higher and knowing that he can beat much better players should change him and his game.

 

Burnard Tomic has had a massive scare as it took him all 5 sets to get past Alberto Ramos in the first round. I could not see him go very much farther than this at this stage.

James Blake’s decision to retire with a high ranking of number 4 is a big deal. He is very young to retire as a sportsman but I hope that he is content in it

 

 

On the women’s draw

Slone Stevens had to get herself out of a massive hole as 1-1 in sets and 6-6 in games. It looked like she could go out but she got the confidence to win the final tie break

Serena Williams appears to be the one to watch as she destroyed Francesca Schivone as Schivoni only picked up one service game in the whole match. Serena knows how to win and use little energy and she did both here

Brit Laura Robson put in a brilliant second half of her match winning 9 games in a row against Lordez Domenguez Lino of Spain. . But I do worry whether she could have this type of form against higher seeded opponents. If she gets the form she has here I believe she could go to the last 16.
