2009 US Open (Tennis)

it's that time again ! Can't wait to watch all this unfold these next two weeks.

Safina better win this one. She�s been #1 for a year now and had steady results, it�s time she actually wins a major. Her biggest competition is Jankovic who beat her in Cincinnati. I don�t want to see Jankovic advance to the final and get destroyed like she did last year.

Serena better not win this one but her quarter doesn�t look terribly difficult. She raises her level of play at the four majors so can�t say I�ll be surprised if she rolls through. Pennetta has played well this summer so looking to see her meet Serena in the quarters.

Venus has a decent quarter if doesn�t self-destruct, although Clijsters should make this quarter of the draw interesting. Don�t expect either Azarenka or Radwanska to make too much of an impression. Hopefully Venus will get back to where she was a couple weeks ago when she looked in control of her matches.

Dementieva�s quarter includes Sharapova, Kuznetsova and Woziacki. Kuznetsova hasn�t had a great summer and Dementieva has already beaten the other two. The most interesting matchup is Dementieva-Sharapova and too bad it could happen so early in the tournament.

Federer is Federer can�t really look at who he will play because he�s better than everyone else. He lost once since winning the French so don�t really see him losing to anyone at the US Open which makes the men�s side of the draw oh so damn boring.

Murray will probably make it far again, can�t say I�m happy that he took the #2 spot from Nadal but I actually think his quarter has some players who could make it more difficult to make it far. Del Potro for one has played well this summer although he did withdraw from a tournament recently and the last tournament he played he lost to Murray.

Djokovic has Roddick in his draw. If they eventually meet it should be entertaining just as long as it doesn�t turn into Montreal Part 2 where everything went horribly wrong for Djokovic and it just got boring to watch. Verdasco just won New Haven so he could prevent Djokovic-Roddick and can�t say I�d be disappointed.

Nadal despite his injuries seems to up to making a decent run at this. Don�t think he�s ready to win here but if he can make past Tsonga that would be a victory in itself especially since Tsonga is one of the few to actually beat Federer this year. Gonzalez is in this quarter and since I love him hope he does relatively well


c0r version: my quick little review of each quarter of this year�s US Open. I want to see another Federer � Nadal final with another Nadal victory but since this is his 3rd tournament since coming back not sure if that�s a real possibility. I�m ok with a re-match of last year�s final. As for the ladies, that hooker Safina better win although I wouldn�t put money on it. As long as Serena doesn�t win, I like Venus better although she makes me want to throw something at the TV more times than not. Dementieva is due to win one major too so maybe this could be her year. Either way I want either of the two Russian women to win, it would mean more to them.

Federer and Dementieva for the win.

Tsonga/Murray/Fed for men's, Ivanovic/Sharapova for women's.

my favorite major of the year followed by wimbledon a close second. i love the atmosphere, energy, and enthusiasm, and i get to play "where's waldo?"


Posted by denys envy on Aug-31-2009 14:18:

i could see sharapova sneaking in there. explain to me how a person that's never won a grand slam is ranked #1? that's fucked.

oh and federer is a class act.


Posted by trunks1022 on Aug-31-2009 16:53:

her arm won't make it two weeks and doesn't help that she's changed her serve and it hasn't been consistent and no way she can win this serving the way she has been.

as for safina i think people shouldn't get so down on her because with the exception of the 4 majors toward the end of the tournaments she plays well every where.

Nadal!!


Posted by stren on Aug-31-2009 18:13:

Nadal is back, great we'll see how he goes now.

Go Roger Go Radwanska


Posted by Nostalgic on Aug-31-2009 19:50:

Federer or Roddick's going to take this one.


Posted by denys envy on Aug-31-2009 19:51:

roddick looks like a douche. i hope he gets bounced in the first rd.


Posted by chimera66 on Aug-31-2009 20:28:

serena didn't look too great today clijsters on the other hand had a great start


Posted by LeopoldStotch on Sep-01-2009 01:14:

lets see how far venus can go with her knee bumming out on her. Dushevina trying to hold on as much as possible.

There should be a petition for Agassi to be a permanent announcer.

this was another match that made me want to throw something at the tv. venus frustrates me so damn much, her knee is messed up yes but all those foot faults? the unforced errors? come on get your shit together or go home and rest. i stopped watching part way through the second. i feel bad for phau and roddick having to wait for that crap match to end.

Women's tennis has been a joke for awhile. Horrid serving, brainless balbashing, unforced errors all over the place, no variety.

i actually enjoyed the women's match. and i usually loathe watching women's tennis.

i had to leave after watching the first set and a bit of the second, it wasn't something i particularly enjoyed. maybe the second half was good but the beginning was not entertaining.

i somewhat have to agree. safina right now is playing like trash, she just double faulted and lost the first set to some girl ranked #127 who isn't even playing well. i'm tired of these matches where players just wait for their opponents to self destruct.

It's a shame Gulbis can't get it together, although it still isn't too late.
