Ok guys let's start threading on the last Grand Slam of the year. What dio you guys think and who do you think will win it this year? I'm going for Nadal and i am a big fan of Nadal as i think Federer as done too much and I don't like Serbians (Djokovic, Vidic and co). As the famous Tennis US Open Grand Slam kicks off, let's take a look at the top three dogs and the problems facing them as they challenge to pick the last Grand Slam of the year. Here's a whole Preview - http://ascology.com/news/sports/tennis/19608-Problems-dog-three-kings-New-York.html Also here's a preview for the female Tennis as Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova poised for US Open title scrap since they've had a dissapointing season so far - http://ascology.com/news/sports/tennis/19607-Serena-Sharapova-poised-for-Open-title-scrap.html |

And SURPRISINGLY AND UNBELIEVABLY, Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova crashed out of the US Open in the first round. This is the total Grace-to-Grass |
Re: Official Thread Of The Us Open Tennis Tournament by JeSoul(f): 2:45pm On Aug 30, 2011 |
I was wondering if I'd have to open "yeye tennis fans on NL thread Pt 2" today . . . https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-674035.0.html @poster, thanks for opening a topic jare. Kvitova crashing out is a reflection of how sorry women's tennis is right now. One-hit wonders & shooting stars that fizzle into mediocrity after winning a slam . . . oh I miss the days of Serena & Henin fighting |

JeSoul: Oh thanks your welcome. Its good to see your thread went far, i wish we can take this to that same height too. And nooo we Tennis fans are not yeye oooo. lol. About Kvitova crashing out to a Romanian, well I think (unlike the Men), many random people are coming out now and another Romanian has kicked out Li Na the French Open Champion. IN THE FIRST ROUND OOOOO. Ok here are the updates below. Tennis - US Open DAY 2: The US Open is getting more interesting; Two Grand Slam winners are out already!! Following yesterday's crashing out of Wimbledon champ Kvitova , French Open Champ Li Na also crashed out unbelievably in the 1st round of the US Open to another Romanian teenager Simona Halep as top dogs Nadal, Federer and Djokovic cruised through. Read the updates below.
http://ascology.com/news/sports/tennis/19691-French-Open-champ-out-Open.html Federer eased through - http://ascology.com/news/sports/tennis/19672-Federer-reaches-Open-2nd-round.html NEW YORK, - All-conquering Novak Djokovic found the going even easier than expected at the US Open on Tuesday, as food poisoning hampered the challenge of first-round opponent Conor Niland.Djokovic won too - http://ascology.com/news/sports/tennis/19690-Ever-easy-for-Djokovic.html |

Thanks a lot to share this nice information. I like Tennis and always try to watch. Really feel so happy after reading. Keep updating |
Re: Official Thread Of The Us Open Tennis Tournament by fredoooooo: 12:59pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Kvitova ( wimbledon champion ) and Li Na ( french open champion) knocked out in the first round , the best game in the second round will be Venus against Lisicki , |
Re: Official Thread Of The Us Open Tennis Tournament by montelik(m): 1:40pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Abeg d WTA is no longer worth my viewing. I only watch d games when it reaches qf stages (with some exceptions). Too many matches that just have no real quality. |
Re: Official Thread Of The Us Open Tennis Tournament by dayokanu(m): 2:21pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
Imagine Na Li and Kvitova made me lose money Women sport is a joke |
Re: Official Thread Of The Us Open Tennis Tournament by nawaforweo: 2:38pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
And Serena Williams also won her match NEW YORK, - Serena Williams stormed into the second round of the US Open tennis championships on Tuesday with a 6-1, 6-1 rout of Serbian teenager Bojana Jovanovski. She was all smiles after the win, a marked contrast to her last singles appearance at the US Open, when her 2009 semi-final against Kim Clijsters ended amid jeers after she unleashed a tirade of abuse at a lineswoman. The ugly outburst in a 6-4, 7-5 defeat eventually earned Williams a fine of $82,500, but she said on the eve of this year's tournament that the episode was long behind her. http://ascology.com/news/sports/tennis/19695-Serena-storms-into-Open-2nd-round.html |

Re: Official Thread Of The Us Open Tennis Tournament by FOD(m): 10:16pm On Aug 31, 2011 |
The Bryan brothers have been ousted too in the first round of the men's doubles event. Good to see Delpo back healthy; he is in Murray's quarter of the draw. I expect him to go deep in the tournament. |
Re: Official Thread Of The Us Open Tennis Tournament by fredoooooo: 10:35pm On Aug 31, 2011 |

Re: Official Thread Of The Us Open Tennis Tournament by montelik(m): 8:38am On Sep 01, 2011 |
Was checking today's matches and came across Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) [11] vs. Sergei Bubka (UKR) Almost had my breakfast snack gone d wrong way, wondering when d pole vaulting legend started playing professional tennis. Turns out its his son. |
Re: Official Thread Of The Us Open Tennis Tournament by lafile(m): 9:20am On Sep 01, 2011 |
montelik: Lol! If that Bubka senior takes up tennis today, it will take him forty years to get into the ATP rankings. The guy don old joor And did you guys see Juan Martin del Potro? Think he's coming back to his best. |

Quick job also by Serena |
Re: Official Thread Of The Us Open Tennis Tournament by edoyad(m): 11:16pm On Sep 01, 2011 |
Federer crushed someone i can't recall a few hours ago Serena blew Krajec away in straight sets about an hour ago. Tsonga just destroyed Sergey Bubka's son in straight sets too. Venus withdrew from the tournament with an ailment, something syndrome. Monfils was busy being his underachieving self against Ferrero, the fans were behind him but he still lost after 5 sets though he led by 2 sets to 1 at one stage. Disappointing as Usual. |
Re: Official Thread Of The Us Open Tennis Tournament by fredoooooo: 12:42pm On Sep 02, 2011 |
MONFILS,thats one player i can never support in my life , Unserious type . He still think Tennis is a game and not his work |
