Frenchman Gael Monfils and David Ferrer are probable fourth-round opponents to R.Nadal while Jo-Wilfred Tsonga, Tomas Berdych and Fernando Gonzalez could meet Nadal at quarter . Tough for him , yet he has to win the final grandslam .
-will update when the match starts on 31st August .
Updates :
2nd round ( I was too enthusiastic to watch it from 9+ ) :D
WHoaaaaaa. Nadal advanced to the 3rd round of the US open . He starts with an extraordinarily returns and serve , causing him to beat N.Kiefer for 6-0 . Second set threw him more out of balance cause Kiefer broke the point and won the set for 6-3 . But , Nadal got back his rhythm and continued his overpowering path through the US open draw , winning both of the last set ! He screamed vamos for his own victory !
Vamos , RAFA !
Updates :
3rd roung ( it's horrible that I cant watch it ) Grr.
Nothing , except Nadal's knee injury hasnt recovered fully , maybe . He had a tab bit pain when playing with Spaniard, Nicolas Almagro .. Let's see..
Updates :
4th round ( I cant watch it , due to theeeeeeeee school time ! Blah :S )
I believe that the match went extraordinarily awesome ! cause R.Nadal was playing with Frenchman 'entertainer' Gael Monfils and the crowds will be stok by their performance . Hahaaaa ! I only get to watch 'live in TV-repetition' So ..
The match started with G.Monfils victory over Nadal in the tie-breaks. He leads 7 to 3 . That's like a 'whoa' :S . But , the 13 seeded man soon found Nadal is in his excellent incredible stamina ! They kept breaking the points and played extremely punishing rallies that left the Frenchman exhausted while Nadal is still the full energy guy :D
And that brought Nadal to book a place in quarter finals. F.Gonzales is waiting for him . :S
Updates :
Quarter finals ! ( the only match that I got to watch , but for only.. 45 minutes )
After waiting for 36 hours , finally , the quarter-final match re-start again from Friday , all thanks to the great rain at Flushing Meadows. That match started with Nadal leading 7-6 , 6-6 (3-2) against Fernando Gonzales . He finished off the match within 34 minutes , having 6-0 as his third victory set . That brought him to walk on air :D
R.Nadal will face Juan Martin Del Potro , one of the tallest player in ATP tour . He's perfect in serve ! So , Nadal has to work his fingers to the bone in order to be in the final match of this , US Open .
and I really really hope Djokovic will win , rather than the former champion , R.Federer ! :S
Updates :
Semi-finals ( where I woke up at 1 to watch the match)
Haah ! It was Sunday and the next day was my tiring school day cause I woke up at about 1 a.m. to watch Nadal versus Juan Martin Del Potro's match ! It was a total disappointment. Nadal's breathe was steady , fanning all over the tennis court . But , he had to lose. Potro was really good at that match , leading triple perfect 6-2 match . As Nadal's knee injury was in my mind that time , I told myself : He HAS to lOSE ! This is the last grandslam in the year and the only grandslam that Nadal has not own a tittle .
Next try , Nadal :)
LAST UPDATES :
I'll only announce the winners . cause there's no point considerating the match as Nadal was out from the tournament.
Here's your new winner , Juan Martin Del Potro , had his first ever grandslam in US Open grandslam at Flushing Meadows US , defeating R.Federer at 3-6 , 7-6 , 4-6 , 7-6 and 6-2 .
Only words , GRATS POTRO ..
ATP RANKINGS :
Rafael Nadal had make himself into a better ranking : no.2 while R.Federer remains world no.1 . Djokovic too , remains unchanged but poor , Andy Murray went on to no.3 . Potro taking Roddick ranking at no.5 !
That's all for the US Grandslam 2009 .
