Really enjoyed US Open men's semi finals yesterday....Two major upsets....Joker and Fed lose...The two underdogs brought some very good tennis....I remember watching Nishikori play Nadal a while back and thought to myself that this kid is very dangerous for the future....After the Madrid Open, where Kei had to retire, Nadal's coach said they did not deserve the win....High praise for Kei....And didn't realize that Cilic was only 25-26 years old...He played like a champion....Anyway, happy to see players who have never won the big prize in the finals....
When Del Potro beat Fed in this final a few years ago, I thought he was one to watch....Wrist injuries have really taken their toll....Wonder if he can ever regain top form....
Women's final today looks like it is Serena's to win....But credit to Carolyn for reaching the finals....Her game looks good, still the counter puncher, with good speed on the court and variety in her tactics...Her arsenal of shots has improved....If she holds her nerve, who knows? Another upset?
