i can't believe i call myself a tennis player and a tennis fan...
been so busy i didn't realize the last grand slam of the year had started this week!
Yes! Ths U.S. Open is here...
Unfortunately it may have been overshadowed by the Olympic games this year...
Didn't hear much about it...
Usually b4 a Grand Slam, I will download the singles draws to review
then make my predictions...
But now i don't even know the ranking of the players already...
Maria is M.I.A
Anyway, just based on current form (without reference to the draw, coz i didn't see it)
i think Dinara Safina has a great chance of doing well coz Sharapova is not in the tournament (injured), both Ivanovic and Jankovic have been suffering from injury...
as for the Williams sister, i think they won't go beyond the quarter finals.... it's my opinion...expect a lot of upsets with the women seeds coz there r a lot of young, dangerous lower ranked players now...
As for the men's side, Nadal is sooooooooooooooo hot right now, I would be an idiot if i didn't pick him as the favourite... he is the new world no.1, the current man to beat...
Djokovic might pull of a surprise again like how he won the Australian Open in Jan, he is good on hard courts...
Federer is just scarily unpredictable right now... but he IS a great multi gram slam winning champion... so we can never count him out...
Andy Roddick & James Blake will have massive home support, but i don't think that's enough to bring them to the title...
I don't think i'll get to watch many matches but i will definitely keep track of the results! =)
