Ivanovic vs. Clijsters! Can you believe it’s not the night match? Though Stosur vs. Dementieva should be a goodie, too. I’m convinced Murray vs. Wawrinka is going to ROCK. Hope I didn’t jinx it. US OPEN ORDER OF PLAY DAY 7: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 Arthur Ashe Stadium 11:00 AM Women’s Singles – 4th Round Ana [...]

Continue Reading →Just a quick celebration of Day 5 at the US Open. Old Earl kept a low profile on Friday, and we were treated to some really entertaining tennis. I loved the night match between Rafael Nadal and Denis Istomin – a three-setter with some crackling tension and cracking shot making. How about this new 134 [...]
Continue Reading →I didn’t realize Serena’s foot injury was controversial, but she replied to the conspiracy theorists this week in USA Today: “I heard just recently that there had been doubt, but at the end of the day, I have to answer to me. It’s unfortunate I had to have surgery, but I’m not lying or denying, [...]
Continue Reading →I was going to call this a Fed-style Tweener in the headline. After all, the running between-the-legs passing shot is kind of Roger’s signature. But after watching Francesca Schiavone pull this off against Alona Bondarenko today at the US Open, I decided that this was pure Schiavone. Forza Francesca! She confirmed my own instincts after [...]
Continue Reading →Another angle of the fight: To quote today’s New York Post: You sure as #%&* don’t see this at Wimbledon! A fight in the nosebleeds interrupted play during the first set of the Djokovic vs Petzschner match on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Thursday night. Of course it was all captured on youtube. Here’s the NYPost’s [...]
Continue Reading →You probably checked out the super slow mo videos of Serena Williams, Elena Dementieva, Kim Clijsters, Victoria Azarenka, Sam Stosur and Vera Zvonareva that the New York Times produced – along with a story about the WTA power game – before the US Open. Really cool stuff. And now we have a video to see [...]
Continue Reading →No Day 4 wrap, since Fritters had a Tom & Jerry marathon set as the priority on the DVR. But everything went pretty much as planned, right? Let’s see how it goes on Friday when Clijsters, Murray, Nadal and Venus all return to the courts. Look out for rain in the evening. 2010 US OPEN [...]
Continue Reading →Novak Djokovic really isn’t hot on the New York heat. I just caught this clip of Nole getting all steamy about the shade right after his 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory over Victor Troicki on Tuesday. On court temps topped 100-degrees during the match. Something tells me he doesn’t call his girlfriend, the lovely [...]
Continue Reading →A busy, surprising and hot, hot, hot day (and night) in NYC on Wednesday. Take this, for example: Pre-tournament favorite and No. 10 seed Victoria Azarenka suffered the second Major retirement of her career on Wednesday at the US Open (she retired against Serena Williams at the 2009 Australian Open), literally falling to Gisela Dulko [...]
