US OPEN TENNIS

This became his sixth victory in 8 matches with the American. The Scottish played in a great way this tournament and has improved consistently in his game. Before getting into the final, Murray defeated the No.2 of the world Roger Federer 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-2 and this victory was also the sixth of seven confrontations against the former No. 1, including exhibition games, and it looks like Murray has his eyes put on Federer’s game. Previous to tournament in Doha, Murray beat in a very consistent way the No. 1 of the world Rafael Nadal and the 13-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer in the exhibition tournament at Abu Dhabi. This has been a great start for the Scottish, who is clearly feeling more confident and more prepared than last year’s season. The former No.1 player Lleyton Hewitt has recently referred to the British and said that the improvements that Murray has on his game has positioned him as favourite of the Australian Open in Melbourne. For Hewitt, the focuses of his progress …

Gilles Simon was called to the tournament after the No. 1 Rafael Nadal announced he will withdraw the tournament due to injury and fatigue. The 13-time Grand Slam champion, Roger Federer had an injury on his back and withdrew a couple weeks ago at the Paris Masters to rest and prepare for this final tournament. However his lack of serve in this match against Simon and his interminable errors, gave the French an easy way to achieve the victory. Federer had 50 unforced errors compared to 38 from Simon, and the Swiss serve was more slow than usual, that gave the Frenchman an advantage in the game. Although, at the beginning of the match, the Swiss seemed comfortable and ready to play as he defeated the Frenchman 6-4 in the first set and was winning 3-2 in the second set. Nevertheless Simon got back on track by breaking some points and minimizing his errors and at the end, the French played almost perfectly in the last two sets and Federer finished with fatal errors. The Swiss expressed t …

Whether it’s been a match from the well established stars on the tour to the new up and coming talents, this season has given all tennis fans something to smile about. Who can forget THAT Wimbledon men’s singles final? In years to come, we may look back at the history books and determine that it was on Sunday 6th July that signaled the changing of the guard for the title of world’s greatest tennis player, as Rafael Nadal finally became the first man to beat Roger Federer on grass, and end his 59-match unbeaten run. It was truly a Wimbledon epic and worthy of any Grand-Slam tournament final, and will live long in the memory for many years to come.

True, he had reached the finals of two grand slams in this period - the French Open and Wimbledon - before losing both matches to world no.2 Rafael Nadal -but, Federer’s overall showing in the tourneys in the earlier half of the year, and post Wimbledon, raises serious questions on the world no.1’s (world no.2 in the next two weeks probably) game and fitness. Roger suddenly appears to have lost his confidence, and his movements on the court slowing down considerably that even lowly ranked players, whom Roger had dispatched so easily few months back, are able to beat him with ease. It appears that the weight of his reputation, coupled with the anxiety of losing, is heavily burdening his mind/game. Recent loses have not helped the matter either. Maybe Roger needs a bit of rest, and time to reassess his game plan. In fact, he himself had admitted that he need to sit back and take a look at his game. But a tighter ATP tour calendar means he would be able to do that only after the US Open …

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 …

A national hero in Maryland and the United States, he has won 16 Olympic medals. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, he broke the 36-year-old record of Mark Spitz with eight gold Olympic medals. From 2004 to 2008, Michael Phelps has won more Olympic gold medals than many countries (including Ireland, Luxembourg, Iceland, Panama, Paraguay, Portugal and Malaysia). Unlike Mark Spitz, Michael did not compete at the Pan American Games. Mike Celizic (sportswriter) wrote :” Phelps has already done things we’ve never seen before and are unlikely to see again. And he’s done it every time he’s left the starting blocks. His 14 gold medals for his career are the record. In Beijing, he won eight gold medals, five of them all by himself and three as a member of two relay teams. He won two of the golds on the same day, and seven medals came with a new world record”. 2. Rafael Nadal (Tennis/ Spain):The 22-year-old is one of the greatest tennis players in history. He became the first Spanish to win the gold …

He destroyed Fernando Gonzalez in the finals, 6-3,7-6, 6-3. “Nowhere in my best dreams I can imagine something like what I did this year,” Nadal said. “I know how difficult it is to win these things, and especially here, because you only have one chance every four years.” The gold medal was the first ever for Spain in Olympic tennis.When the Beijing Olympic Games opened in August 2008, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer were the contending odd-on favorites.However, Federer was eliminated by James Blake.Winning the Olympic title and reaching the world number-one ranking in singles, Rafael has have a good year in 2008. Rafael Nadal’s uncle, Miguel Angel Nada Homar, played three FIFA World Championships (Los Angeles 1994, Paris 1998, Seoul-Tokyo 2002). This Olympic champion was discovered by Antonio “Toni” Nadal Homar. Toni is his uncle. Under coach Toni Nadal’s tutelage, he has won several World titles. Rafael once said: “I think that having my uncle and coach with me has been the best …

This week’s tournament the Countrywide Classic, Andy has been seeded as the number six. Many believe Roddick still has lots to give to the tennis world and especially to the United States but he does not seem to be on the right track as after reaching the number one spot in 2003 he has not able to be in the number one spot once again. That same year Roddick achieved his maiden Grand Slam in New York City. Right after this period Roger Federer became the world number one and the Spaniard Rafael Nadal the world number two in the ATP circuit. One of the reasons Roddick quickly descended from the top position was the fact that he lost in three Grand Slam finals during Wimbledon in 2004 and 2005 and the U.S. Open in 2006 to the Swiss master Roger Federer. Nevertheless, Roddick has incredible potential but he has not been able to find the right coach to achieve more titles. For the moment, Andy Roddick is the highest ranked American tennis player currently placed in the 6th position. On the …

This was the first lost of Argentina in 10 years at home in Davis Cup games; however, this was also their first final at home and therefore, the team had great expectations of winning their first David Cup title this time since they were the favorites after the Spanish Rafael Nadal got injured before the final. For its part, Spain won their first title on the road, after having won in 2000 and 2004 against Australia and U.S respectively at home. Verdasco replaced David Ferrer due to injury and the 48th ranked Acasuso replaced the No.9 of the world Juan Mart n Del Potro due to a pull muscle injury he suffered on Friday’s match against Lopez. The game was held in the indoor Islas Malvinas Arena at Mar del Plata in front of more than 11,000 fans. At the beginning of the game, Acasuso started a little nervous by loosing his serve in the fifth game of the first set and making three unforced errors consecutively. But after losing the first set, Acasuso began the second set with more confide …

1 of the world Rafael Nadal. Former World No. 1 Hewitt began having problems on his hip on March 2008 and that affected his preparation for the French Open and the following supplementary tournaments. During that time, Hewitt lost 300 rankings points and was unable to compete beyond the Olympics, missing the US Open and the rest of the season due to his injury. His absence made him slip to the 67th place of the rankings last October. Hewitt is still recovering but since last week he started practicing gradually and very carefully. About this, his coach Tony Roche, his manager Mark Drysdale and doctors have said that he is doing really well. They have stated that he is taking it slowly to be completely healed and ready for a new season, in which he will want to regain a better position in the rankings and some new titles on his professional career.
