Man, Nadal is really strong at this moment. Seems to have the best chance winning US Open. Beating Djokovic on hardcourt is definitely something not EASY, especially on a fast hardcourt. As much as i don't want Nadal to dominate tennis, he is really doing so. And Federer is not playing well at this moment, which is very bad.



Today's Schedule
Surprisingly the Swiss doubles team is still in the Olympics. Congratz to Federer for fighting hard after the devastating loss against Blake. The Swiss beat Bryan Bros in the semifinals.

According to the match report, Federer served very well and volley very well as well. And when he was at the baseline, he struck alot of winners against Bryan Bros. He needs confidence, and playing doubles will help as well.

The match is the 3rd match of the day. The first match starts at 4PM, so i think its between 7-8PM. If i'm not mistaken, the match will be in best of 5. I have confidence that Federer will win this.. He can't let go another chance of winning a gold medal for Swiss.

We also have Djokovic vs Blake in the 3rd placing match. No preference on this match. Lolz.

Djokovic beat Blake to win the bronze medal. Better than nothing.



Federer is still playing the doubles final. Should not have big problem to win.

Tomorrow we will have the women's final, Safina vs Dementieva and men's final, Nadal vs Gonzalez.

Haha. Congratz to Federer and Wawrinka. Federer is really happy after the winning. Jumping around and playing with Wawrinka.

Bloody Astro not showing the winning ceremony. >.> Potong stim.

Williams sisters are still in the women's doubles.

And also the women's singles and men's singles final.. Lolz!

Today's Schedule


Here's the schedule for today. Live coverage starts at 4PM (not sure whether they will change it anot because they moved the women's final to Sunday because of the rain... there may be some changes in schedule... Check out channel 818.









Federer really deserves the gold medal because he didn't give up the doubles competition after the singles loss. Go Federer! Get back your No.1!

I think he would surely choose French Open. While we all know that Olympics tennis is important, its nowhere near the importance of any grand slams.. I know some players like Federer would say they rate Olympics same as grand slam, but its the number of grand slams you have in your career that show how great you are.

Excellent match by Elena Dementieva. I think she is owed a real big title.. She's a great player who never wins any grand slam due to her nerve and serve.. but now she's really showing that she can win the grand slam after this Olympic gold medal. Like her, she's a great player!



More photos later.

Now Nadal vs Gonzalez! Go Gonzalez.

I don't think so. Because Gonzalez is really playing well and he has beaten Nadal before in Australian Open. And Nadal has a weakness against players who hit very flat, like Gonzalez. But Gonzalez will to check out his unforced errors because that will be the key.

Lolz where you get this picture?

Go Gonzalez!

Big three? I want Federer to win. He hasn't won any Grand Slam this year and really need one to boost his confidence.





Nadal seems to be playing really well. No doubt he will have a big chance winning US Open...

He's No.1 now. =)
You can go atptennis.com to check the rankings.

Well, Nadal deserves to be No.1.. really.. for what he has achieved this year.

What i hope for is Federer coming back and fight for the No.1 spot. And also US Open.

I see no reason why Federer can't come back. He was playing so well last year... how could a player just drop so fast.... Its just the problem of confidence. Once he gets it back he will play very well.

I heard the LTAM president suck the money. Lolz!

Put salt on the wound. =D

Nvm, only Federer can prove himself now. No one can help him. He knows what to do.


Sighz, Vaidisova lost again. Whats wrong with this girl. =(

Haha, she's not playing well but Dementieva, another my favourite, is the HOT player now. =)

Look how she beat Serena and also Safina. Incredible. I hope she wins the US Open because she deserves a grand slam title.

Whatever it is, a win in US Open by Federer would always be what i want. Lolz.

Say whatever you want lar. Now its the time to look down at Federer... when he's at his lowest point. =)

Have fun!

Whatever the draw is, if Federer wants to win a big tournament, he has to beat everyone that he's drawn to. Then only he will be seen as a deserving winner.


Jankovic in New York.

Astro Supersport will be showing US Open. I will update the TV Schedule tomorrow.

Every year also they show lar.

Lolz. You can say whatever you want lar. Because the tournament hasn't even started yet. I can also can Agassi can come back and beat Nadal in the final. =)

Yesterday was Arthur Ashe Kids' Day. Alot of players went to take part in the charity event.

Here are some pictures.

1 interesting thing is Nadal won't be wearing his sleeveless shirt this time in US Open. The shirt he will be wearing is the one he was wearing in the pictures above.
Maybe he's now the No.1, time to change his style.
