nykfan845 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I don't like Martina's chances. She's got Mauresmo and S. Williams in her quarter of the draw. Federer has the better shot. Although he may run into Blake, near the end, I think he's got a great shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he may run into Blake, near the end, I think he's got a great shot. James Blake, yeah right, the only dangerous player in the first quater is Dmitiry Tursunov and the only one he is dangerous to is Blake. BTW, whats with Henman and Roger in the same opening bracket I feel sorry for Nalbandian having to face Marat Safin in the second round, especially since Safin has won a grand slam as an unseeded player. Interesting - its quite possible that Federer will have to go through two Russians to get to the final. Ivan Ljubicic gets the worst draw of the top four seeds though. Bold predicition, Jarkko Nieminen will take Nadal out in the 4th round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been struggle lately, but you should never underestimate him on the hard courts. He loves playing in Queens, and I think he'll do well. He's just got to control himself, and keep down those unforced errors. I agree Tursunov is a challenge, but I believe Blake will beat him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Possibly Federer v Henman in the second round again, after they met at Wimbledon. Anyway, Andre Agassi will be centre stage tomorrow. Agassi takes US Open centre stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainad Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Despite his blip in losing to Andy Murray at the Cincinnati Masters,I think Roger must still be the favourite to defend his US Open title. I think his finals opponent will be Nadal or possibly Roddick.Roddick seems to me to be making a return to his old form.Does anyone else think so?

Roddick has been playing fantastic tennis lately, and he's on a major roll. I think on hardcourt, Roddick could definitely beat Nadal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question that Federer has to be the favourite on a surface that he is proven to excel on. This is the first major test for Roddick under the guidance of Jimmy Connors and, if the form he showed to win the tournament the other week is maintained, there's no reason why he can't go a long way.

arwebb Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 The Andre Agassi farewell tour will play at least one more show. Epic win extends Agassi's career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted September 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 No more, though. The great man has taken his final bow after going down to Benjamin Becker in four sets today. What a player. What a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nykfan845 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Ahh, Andre. Your storied career is now at an end. Goodbye Andy has won, and Blake's match should get started in about a half-hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Marat Safin had an impressive win over Nalbadian today, made me happy. I love Marat, I just hate watching him implode all the time, its frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 You certainly wouldn't count him out of going a long way in the tournament, if he maintains his A game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 The Russians seem to be doing quite well this tournament, they out number the Americans who are left - I hope they don't do so well tomorrow though. Although Andy Murray is still only 19, it would be nice to see him reach the quarters or semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arwebb Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 And now he's lost to Davydenko in four sets, it probably leaves a clear run for Zara Phillips to the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
