US OPEN TENNIS

1 player Justine Henin dominated her Serbian opponent to defeat Ana Ivanovic 6-1, 6-2. Before making predictions about the French Open for 2008, one thing that will not happen is that Justine Henin will win the women’s title. Henin shocked the tennis world with her recent immediate retirement from the sport she has dominated over recent years. Looking at the current women’s tour rankings we see Maria Sharapova is in the no. 1 spot vacated by Henin. Sharapova has a slender lead over world no. 2 Ana Ivanovic. This pair faced each other at the Australian Open earlier this year with Sharapova coming out on top. You would have to say that one of the top two players will be a good chance to lift the women’s trophy on finals day. Ivanovic is of course the losing finalist from last year and is expected to improve on that result. Sharapova if fit should also go close to winning the title. The current no.1 was troubled by a calf injury in the Rome tournament. Looking at other players likely to …

Nadal who holds a 98-1 winning streak on clay is the strongest favorite to win the French Open for the fourth time in a row; the second Grand Slam of the year will be played next month. Nadal has only lost one time on clay to Roger Federer at the 2007 Hamburg final. The 21-year-old Nadal improved his personal record against Federer to 9-6 and he remains undefeated in Monte Carlo where the Spaniard player is extremely well liked by the crowd and where he continues his reign for one more year. On the other hand, Federer who lost his crown at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year won his first title one week ago in Estoril; he was very certain he was going to be able to defeat Nadal as without a doubt he resurrected in Monte Carlo from his dry drought , but it seems there is something still missing. “I am coming back strong and I’m happy the way things are now,” said the Swiss, who had mononucleosis earlier this year. A few weeks ago I was still in a bit of doubt.” Following a …

It will be so worth it to see quality matches being played in the court as nothing motivates a tennis player more than to play in a Grand Slam tournament. I have picked the names of four players and assessed their chances, not because they happen to be players occupying the top four rankings but because of their consistent showing that they put on during each tournament they played in. 1. Rafael Nadal - He finally showed the world that he has what it takes to win a major tournament that isn’t played in a clay surface. That epic battle that he had with Roger Federer for the Wimbledon title went down in to the record books as the greatest final ever played. I felt sad for him though, as he pulled out of the season ending Tennis Masters Cup finals due to exhaustion. What concerns me is that even if he is still young, the rigors of having to play in tennis tournaments day in and day out of the highest quality shall take its toll on his health soon. At the moment, questions about his knee …

Others might be the people who are in the brink of that one win that can change their tennis careers completely. The names do not really have to follow the seedings that have been released for the tournament. Rather, it is a random name recalling for me, of things that can possibly happen. I shall start off with the ladies first. 1. Elena Dementieva - She has vastly improved over the years. I first noticed her during the all Russian French Open tennis final between her and Anastasia Myskina. Dementieva was only 22 years old. But what struck oddly for me was the quality of tennis being played. Both women were so nervous in the match that they committed errorrs after errorrs. Myskina proved to be the better player as she controlled her nerves and finally won the tennis match. I thought Dementieva was a luck finalist at that time and won’t be seeing her that much. But after she won the women’s singles gold in the Olympics, beating Serena Williams in the semis and Dinara Safina in the fin …

Her game performance was slower than usual due to the heated weather conditions of the early afternoon, but she did really well even with the high temperatures of this summer at Melbourne. The American played conservatively and took her time to control the tempo of the game, even though she made 31 unforced errors in attempts to shorten the points. It took Serena 75 minutes to defeat the Chinese, since she took her time between points to grasp her breath and focus on the win. Yuan Meng was restricted to only five winners; even when she was trying to play back to Serena, Williams was too much for Meng. With this win the American Serena Williams will be playing the second round of the Australian Open against the winner between Anastasiya Yakimova and Gisela Dulko. On the other hand, her sister Venus Williams also got her victory in the first round by defeating Angelique Kerber with an score of 6-3,6-3. So, if the Williams keep their pace as it is, it’s possible that they face each other …

Sadly, the journey for Capriati was to turn sour with depression and crime well before she eventually fought back to claim the Women’s World Number One Singles title briefly in 2001 having won the Australian and French Opens that year. She also successfully defended her Australian Open title in 2002. Her ‘comeback career’ is amazing considering the feats she’s managed. In her crowning moment, her third Grand Slam title, she saved four Championship points during the final–a world record for a player who eventually won the match. That demonstrates her spirit! Unfortunately, she’s not been as successful with life as she’s been with her tennis. Quoted in a recent newspaper feature she lamented being trapped. “I’ve only known one speed–100 miles per hour–and now I feel stuck in this place where I can’t move.”[1] Jennifer Capriati reminds me of Michael Jackson. Both knew nothing of a normal childhood, and their talent was honed and milked as the world stood in awe of both these child pro …

There is no one “cookie-cutter” strategy that works for all players. Obviously, different players have their own style of playing, and would like to adjust their game to benefit the most of their best shots. This could mean running around the backhand for a player with a great forehand, serve and volley for a big server, or approaching the net at any opportunity for a great net player. Players also adjust their strategy to gain an edge over their opponent. For example, when playing against an inconsistent player, you just might want to keep the ball in play and not “go for it” too often, letting your opponent make the mistake. Playing to your opponent’s weakest shot is another example. Nonetheless, there are general “rules” that can be used as the frame on which to build your strategy. Hit cross-court from the baseline During a baseline rally, hitting the ball cross-court is typically advantageous to hitting down the line. The main reason concerns your position on the court, as well a …
