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...
Five Matches to Watch on Day 6 of the US Open
1. Jelena Jankovic (SRB)[4] v. Kaia Kanepi (EST)[31] -- The song remains the same for Jankovic. She's been playing terribly all month, so anyone can beat her. Simona Halep and Mirjana Lucic each took a set off the #4 seed, and they're both ranked 60+ below Kanepi. But Kanepi's closing skills are...

Here are my picks for the five best matches on the slate for Tuesday's Day 2 action at the US Open:1. Viktor Troicki (SRB) v.

Federer, del Potro, Soderling, Davydenko Through on Tiebreakers
With three players finishing round robin play Group B was decided by the first tiebreaking criteria, number of sets won and lost. Soderling (5-2) and Davydenko (5-3) barely edged out Djokovic (4-3) for the two semifinal spots, despite being the two lowest ranked players in their group. But as...
WTF! Soderling Blasts Through Nadal Again, Djokovic Outlasts Davydenko
In his first time playing in London since winning that epic Wimbledon final in 2008, Rafael Nadal looked like a shadow of the player he was then in his first WTF match against Robin Soderling, which was won in straight sets by the Swede by the tally of 6-4, 6-4. Soderling came off the blocks...

A final that started out as a total clunker finished as one of the best of the year in Paris, with Novak Djokovic starting hot and then surviving several icy patches to defeat Gael Monfils 6-2, 5-7, 7-6(3). Two of the game's most braggadocious played some incredibly flashy tennis throughout, but...
