WTA US Open 4th Round, Day 8 Preview: Makarova v Bouchard, Serena v Kanepi

Before the rain came, the big talking point on day 7 of the 2014 US Open was Caroline Wozniacki’s superb three set victory over Maria Sharapova.  It was one of Caro’s best ever victories and a definite contender for the match of the tournament.  You can read my recap of that match HERE.  The bottom…

ATP US Open 4th Round, Day 8 Predictions: Murray v Tsonga, Nishikori v Raonic

The biggest upset of the men’s tournament saw David Ferrer go out in four sets to Gilles Simon, who played a great match.  Every now and then, Simon seems to come alive.  He did it against Rafael Nadal in Rome and I remember a great match he played at the US Open against Juan Martin…

Match Recap, US Open R4: Wozniacki d. Sharapova, 6-4 2-6 6-2

The second match on Arthur Ashe Stadium between Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova was the most anticipated match of the women’s tournament so far.  And IT DIDN’T DISAPPOINT.  Wozniacki produced one of the best wins of her career to defeat the number five seed, Maria Sharapova, 6-4 2-6 6-2 in two hours and 37 minutes. …

WTA US Open 4th Round, Day 7 Preview: Maria Sharapova v Caroline Wozniacki

In the TFF DreamTeam game, Wild Briar Village continues to lead the way.  Woo is in 2nd place and #teamwoz is in 3rd place.  I’m down in 7th place and have a depleted women’s team. Sunday’s schedule will be lit up with the showpiece match-up between Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova, which will be during…

WTA US Open 4th Round, Day 7 Preview: Jankovic v Bencic, Safarova v Peng

The third quarter of the women’s draw has seen the two top eight seeds, Agnieszka Radwanska and Angelique Kerber, both go out.  However, four solid players remain and personally, i’m a fan of all four so i’ll be happy whoever comes through.  Jelena Jankovic will be the favourite, but I could stake a claim also…

ATP US Open 3rd Round, Day 7 Preview: Monfils v Gasquet, Dimitrov v Goffin

It has been a pretty low-key start to the men’s US Open, but some good matches are starting to develop as the third round will conclude on Sunday.  The advantage of no major shocks is that there are likely to be more enticing match-ups in the latter stages.  Still, I think the draw needs a…

ATP US Open 3rd Round Preview, Day 6: Isner v Kohlschreiber, Kyrgios v Robredo

While all kinds of crazy were happening in the women’s draw, the men’s draw has seen very few upsets.  There are a few exciting third round matches that were set for Sunday with Grigor Dimitrov to play the in-form, David Goffin and an all-French match-up between Richard Gasquet and Gael Monfils.  Here’s a pair of…

WTA US Open 3rd Round, Day 6 Preview: Kanepi v Suarez Navarro

As day 5 featured a string of interesting matches, the same cannot be said for day 6.  The four highest seeds all have, on paper, reasonably straightforward looking matches and the other four don’t have a great deal of star appeal.  I was looking forward to the prospect of Kvitova-Keys, but Madison was knocked out in…

US Open Day 5: Madness ensues, Halep, Kerber and V.Williams all out

EMERGENCY POST.  The 2014 US Open had been, dare I say, a little dull through the first four days.  Suddenly, in the space of about 15 minutes, the women’s draw was given a rather hefty (and welcome) shake as Simona Halep, Angelique Kerber and Venus Williams all lost.  It’s a real shame that all these…

WTA US Open, Day 5 Preview Part 2: Sharapova v Lisicki, Petkovic v Wozniacki

The bottom half of the women’s draw looks in great shape as we head into the third round.  There have been quite a few upsets in the third quarter, but there are some quality players still remaining.  In the fourth quarter, we are just one match away from some blockbuster last 16 matches.  As always,…
