Play like Henin? No, there is no player in the top 10 that plays an 1 handed backhand.... Doesn't seem like anyone is dominating the game.... Jankovic was the No.1 for 1 week, then now its Ivanovic again.. And Sharapova, who i thought would be the No.1 after her Australian Open win is now injured...

The Williams sisters.. always unpredictable.... so we can only wait and see.

I would hope Dementieva to win because she's a great player and deserves a grand slam title under her name.... She won the gold medal in Olympics.....

Her groundstrokes is definitely one of the bests if not the best in WTA tour right now. The only thing that stops her from winning is her mental. She has improved alot in the serving department and thats why she got into the semifinals of Wimbledon and also won the Olympics.

Safina also seems to be playing very well since the clay court season. smile.gif

I'll agree she's got good groundstrokes, but she's not near 'great' yet wink.gif

Nadal decided not to change his usual sleeveless shirt in US Open because he's not used to the sleeved shirt... He will only shift to that after US Open if i'm not mistaken.
But its quite a tough match for Nadal against Phau.. Didn't expect that... but Phau really tried hard to beat Nadal...

Blake vs Young didn't disappoint as it went into 5 sets. =) 1st 5 setter in Arthur Ashe stadium this year. Hope for more matches coming.

Lolz. Because she has to find true love. Its a lonely struggle on the top of tennis.

Del Potro didn't disappoint me... He lost the first set against Canas but came back strong to win it in 4 sets.

The top contenders for US Open among the women's players are Ivanovic, Jankovic, Williams sisters, Dementieva and Safina. I really don't see Kuznetsova winning. I think the ones with the highest chance of winning are still the Williams sisters.

Go Federer!
