Ready for round of 16 in Flushing Meadows
|
The Williams sisters performed splendidly today, as expected, in their matches against Ai Sugiyama and Alona Bondarenko. Julie Coin went out on a high note, playing a very nice match against winner Amelie Mauresmo, and Dominika Cibulkova was all but blown away by Agnieszka Radwanska. As always, Dinara Safina took us all to the emergency room door before winning over Tamea Bacsinszky. Bacsinszky had some significant overheating and cramping problems, or Safina's come-from-behind tactics may have

3rd round continues tomorrow
|
There will be eight more third round matches tomorrow: Julie Coin's golden moment should come to an end when she plays countrywoman Amelie Mauresmo, but we will most likely see some really good serving from her. Nadia Petrova and Flavia Pennetta are invisible to the press, but both are very good hard court players, and theirs could be in interesting match. Anna-Lena Groenefeld of the recent comeback and the huge serve, will go against French phenom Alize Cornet. Cornet can usually handle big

Quiet, Please: U.S. Open Preview [Droppin' Deuce With Dylan Stableford]

Dylan Stableford writes occasionally about tennis for Deadspin. It's called "Droppin' Deuce With Dylan Stableford." It's that time of year again. A time when swaths of Serbians, blistering backhands, awkward celebrity interviews and nimble ball boys invade Queens. A time when tennis—tennis!—takes New Yorkers' attention away from the Mets, Yankees, Bret Favre, blogging and the Hamptons for two weeks. Here's what to expect during this year's Flushing fortnight.

by SavannahThe US Open starts on Monday, August 25. The forecast is for showers. That means Tuesday should be big fun out at the BJK National Tennis Center. I'm not sure if I'll brave it. I know, who am I kidding? But forecasts are just like any other prediction. We'll see what happens. I know that I will be there Wednesday night. I just bought the tickets today. I hope I get to see some good matches. Nights during week one aren't bad because if the main event is stinking up the joint you have o

U.S. Open begins Monday

The U.S. Open, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Open Era, begins on Monday, August 25. Conspicuous by her absence will be Maria Sharapova, but everyone else who matters (assuming Ana Ivanovic's thumb has healed) will be there. In no particular order... THE CONTENDERS Serena Williams: It is really hard to determine what Williams' chances are at the U.S. Open, but only a fool would count her out of contention. She has looked vulnerable lately, but if she is in the right frame of mind, sh
