US Open Women's Semifinals Preview
Caroline Wozniacki (DEN)[1] v Vera Zvonareva (RUS)[7] -- Through the first five matches she's played at this US Open, the top seed has fit Caroline Wozniacki quite well (definitely better than that dress). She's played confident, consistent tennis, and except for some mild frustration in the wind...
US Open Day 10 Preview
Quality over quantity is the idea in the second week of slams, which is why we have only four matches on tap for Wednesday's Day 10 action at the 2010 US Open. I think the two women's matches could be quite lopsided, but the men could put on a pretty good show. Kaia Kanepi (EST)[31] v. Vera...
Steady Jankovic Last One Standing at Indian Wells
Not all of the big names in the WTA made it out to Indian Wells, and the ones who did (Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Maria Sharapova) all crashed out before the quarterfinals. It's probably not surprising, then, that on one of the slowest hard courts to be found in the world,...
Doha Round Robin Review
White Group #1 Dinara Safina (0-1, withdrew) Instead of the long, ugly defeats she had subjected innocent crowds to over and over again this fall, Dinara Safina decided to keep her run at the Sony Ericsson Championships in Doha mercifully short. After only two games in her first match against...
Doha Day 1 Preview
Three matches on the card for Day 1 in the desert of Doha, one from the White Group and two from the absurdly stronger Maroon Group. The way that the draw for these round robin tournaments works is pretty simple. The #1 and #2, #3 and #4, #5 and #6, and #7 and #8 players are paired off, and one...
Wozniacki's Questionable Scheduling Leads to Questionable Retirement
Caroline Wozniacki has quickly established a reputation as the new Jelena Jankovic of the WTA here in 2009. Not because of constant giggling or questionable injury timeouts, but because of the seemingly unstoppable need to enter as many tournaments as physically possible. This week Wozniacki...
US Open Day 14: Mama Knocks Out Second US Open Title
Women's Singles Final: Kim Clijsters BEL def. Caroline Wozniacki DEN (9) 7-5, 6-3 -- The player who won the U.S. Open wasn't even playing professional tennis as of July. That's pretty crazy. In her first grand slam in two years (and only her third tournament of any kind), unranked, unseeded wild...
US Open Day 13: Serena's Foot (and Mouth) Fault Ends Match
One of the most bizarre days of tennis I can remember. I'll have more on the ending of Serena-Clijsters a bit later, but for now a more tennis-focused recap of the day's matches: Women's Semifinals: Kim Clijsters BEL def. Serena Williams USA (2) 6-4, 7-5 -- For as much as the ending of this match...
US Open Day 12 Women's Semifinals Predictions
Even though there is potentially a lot of tennis left for Nadal and Gonzalez to play, I'll hold to my original prediction of Nadal in three in that one. For the two big matches that are set to begin on Friday, the two women's semifinals, here's what I see happening: Women's Semifinals: Kim...
US Open Day 10: Federer Hangs On, Oudin Drops Off
All four favorites got through on Wednesday, which meant the end to the story of the tournament, but the continuation of an incredible story that has lasted for well over five years. Men's Top Half Quarterfinals: Roger Federer SUI (1) def. Robin Soderling SWE (12) 6-0, 6-3, 6-7(6), 7-6(6) -- It's a...
