Five Matches to Watch on Day 3 of the US Open
1. Ana Ivanovic (SRB) v. Zheng Jie (CHN)[21] -- This match being placed on Ashe is vaguely ridiculous, considering that neither player is American, in the top 20, or has ever made the quarterfinals of this tournament before. But it is an undeniably interesting match up, a puncher vs....
The Daily Forehand Talks to Marion Bartoli (Part 1)
CINCINNATI--By any measure, Marion Bartoli had a very successful week in Cincinnati. After straight set wins over Anabel Medina Garrigues and Alona Bondarenko, the 2007 Wimbledon finalist beat #2 seed Caroline Wozniacki in a lopsided 6-4, 6-1 third round match. Though she lost in the...

Bartoli Stuns Venus in Stanford Final
Even though she had defeated two hot opponents on her way to the final, few gave Marion Bartoli a chance of winning the whole thing. And why should they have? Bartoli was facing Venus Williams, who had dropped only five games total in her last four sets, routing Maria Sharapova in the quarters 6-2,...
Bartoli Bounces Back
