That is a shock- Peer beating Vaidisova So Donald Young is not the great black hope then Schnyder losing as well is quite a surprise |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 7:06pm On Sep 02, 2007 |
Serena beat Bartoli 6-3, 6-4. She now awaits the winner between Henin and Safin in the QF. Nadal, Ljubicic, Nalbandian, Monaco are all playing at the moment. |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 10:14pm On Sep 02, 2007 |
One Serb down! Venus crushed Ivanovic 6-4, 6-2 to move into the QF where she'll meet the winner between Jankovic and Bammer. Nadal also strolled into the fourth round where he'll meet Ferrer, who beat Nalbandian. I thought Tsonga would cause an upset before the match started, but the would number two proved too strong for the 22 yr old. Other Results: Chela - Ljubicic 6-4, 6-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 Ferrer - Nalbandian 6-3, 3-6, 4-6, 7-6, 7-5 Nadal - Tsonga 7-6, 6-2, 6-1 Monaco - Calleri 7-6, 6-2, 6-4 |

There must be a lot of pissed off female stars fuming over the fact that the Williams sisters are seeded so lowly Venus eliminated Sharapova early at Wimbledon and now Ivanovic |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by RuuDie(m): 11:52am On Sep 03, 2007 |
Big upset - Sharapova's out. . . . beaten by a player |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by RuuDie(m): 1:04pm On Sep 03, 2007 |
16th seed M. hingis was also knocked out by a li'l known Belarussian. . . . guess this one's 4 the Williams' or Henin's taking ! |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 1:36pm On Sep 03, 2007 |
Henin crushed Safina 6-0, 6-2 to set up a QF match with Serena. Venus will meet Jankovic in the QF. Jankovic needed another three sets (6-4, 4-6, 6-1) to beat Bammer. Are we going to a Williams sisters SF showdown, Jankovic/Henin-allowing? Naaa. Remaining Third Round Results (Men): Djokovic - Del Potro 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 Wawrinka - Ginepri 5-7, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 Moya - Kohlschreiber 4-6, 7-5, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4 Gulbis - Robredo 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by RuuDie(m): 4:01pm On Sep 03, 2007 |
On the strength of Henin's form, we might just be seeing the end of Serena's US Open. . . . one thing is 4 sure sha, ain't not g'onna be no Williams 1 & 2 here! Jankovic could pull off an upset here. . . Venus tends to switch off atimes; if it was Jankovic/Serena, i'm sure the latter would bully the living day lite o'utta her but Venus. . . . . she's very beatable! |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by doyin13(m): 4:36pm On Sep 03, 2007 |
RuuDie: Hmmm I dont think Jankovic has the weapons to beat any of the sisters. She can only win if they beat themselves Ivanovic has more weapons than Jankovic but Venus beat her in straight sets Jankovic sort of reminds me of the Hingis, Novotny and Majoli's of this world Very steady, no major shots(maybe forehand), but try as much as possible to get the ball back And have you seen her serve, it is modest at best, in the 90mph zone |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 8:36pm On Sep 03, 2007 |
Roddick awaits the winner between Federer and Lopez in the QF. He progressed when Berdych retired due to illness while trailing 7-6 2-0. Haas and Blake are slugging it out at the moment. Blake leads Haas (6-4, 4-5). Today's Results: Szavay - Vakulenko 6-4, 7-6 Kuznetsova - Azarenka 6-2, 6-3 Peer - Radwanska 6-4, 6-1 Other Matches To Be Played Today: Chakvetadze A. vs Schnyder P. Federer R. vs Lopez F. Lee vs Davydenko |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by doyin13(m): 9:16pm On Sep 03, 2007 |
I might have a little flutter on Kutznetsova winning the whole thing now that Sharapova is out She shouldn't really have any probs getting to the final and and anything can happen once there Berdych fails to live up again Shame considering he has all the tools and shots to be no 1 |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by tng(f): 8:28am On Sep 04, 2007 |
Once again James Blake breaks my heart. Anyway, hope davydenko beats haas and roddick beats federer i wish |

Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by whatnext: 4:05pm On Sep 05, 2007 |
tng, u'r female? Henin thrashes arrogant Serena again!!! Now that's good news. It's a pity Nadal got out this way, I hope he gets better. Djokovic meets Moya again! I hope the old chap repeats the last performance btw the two again. |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by tng(f): 4:32pm On Sep 05, 2007 |
tng, u'r female? What did u think? So you think she is arrogant too? have been reading comments on 606 and a lot peeps there feel the same thing. anyway, she is gone and i really hope the belgian witch doesnt win the tournament. |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by whatnext: 5:01pm On Sep 05, 2007 |
Who in this world doesn't know she's proud! She atributes all her losses to injuries or her having a bad day or she giving out the match or something irrational. She admitted she would have ignore the post interview, if not for the $10,000 fine. Djokovic used to be that way too. He seems to have changed. |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 9:17pm On Sep 05, 2007 |
Match In Progress: Davydenko - Haas 6-3, 5-3 Today's Results: Chakvetadze - Peer 6-4, 6-1 Kuznetsova - Szavay 6-1, 6-4 Yesterday's Results: Henin - Williams 7-6, 6-1 Ferrer - Nadal 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 6-2 Up Next: Venus Williams vs. Jelena Jankovic Roger Federer vs. Andy Roddick |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 9:52pm On Sep 05, 2007 |
"I just think she made a lot of lucky shots, and I made a lot of errors." Three Grand Slam victories over Serena by Henin in a year being fluke? She must be out of her mind. |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 10:14pm On Sep 05, 2007 |
Nikolay Davydenko reaches the US Open semi-finals for a second-straight year beating Tommy Haas 6-3 6-3 6-4. He awaits the winner between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick. |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by dinozzo(m): 10:35pm On Sep 05, 2007 |
Another Federer win against Roddick IMO. I think Federer will win this title again. But I'll love to see someone else win. Serena doesn't know how to accept defeat. Its clear she can't beat Henin. |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 9:07am On Sep 06, 2007 |
Federer overpowers Roddick 7-6, 7-6, 6-2 to book a place in the SF. Federer surprisingly out-aced Roddick 15-14!!!. He will face Davydenko, who is yet to drop a set in this tournament. The other men's SF will be between Djoko/Moya and Ferrer/Chela. Venus will seek to avenge her sister's loss to Henin when they meet. She outlasted the second Serbian in her path, Jankovic 4-6, 6-1, 7-6. Venus holds a 7-1 head to head career record against Henin. We shall have a Russian in the final as the two other semi-finalists are Russians - Chakvetadze and Kuznetsova. |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 3:32pm On Sep 07, 2007 |
Djokovic beat Moya 6-4, 7-6, 6-1 to progress into the SF. He will meet Ferrer, who had earlier beaten Chela 6-2, 6-3, 7-5. The women's SF matches will be played later today. 19:00 Chakvetadze vs Kuznetsova 20:30 Williams vs Henin |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 8:47pm On Sep 07, 2007 |
2004 champion Svetlana Kuznetsova books a place in the 2007 final when she overcame gritty Anna Chakvetadze 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 in just an hour and 31 minutes. She awaits the winner of the match between Henin and Venus. The match comes up shortly. |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by dinozzo(m): 8:52pm On Sep 07, 2007 |
this is going to be cracker, hope Venus wins. |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 9:11pm On Sep 07, 2007 |
I'm afraid Venus' off to a bad start as she's down a break in the first set. Henin leads 2-0 |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by dinozzo(m): 9:17pm On Sep 07, 2007 |
she'll bounce back, c'mon venus |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by dinozzo(m): 9:23pm On Sep 07, 2007 |
its 3-2 with Henin serving |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by PDF: 9:46pm On Sep 07, 2007 |
Venus saves three set points and breaks back. It's 5 - 5. |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by dinozzo(m): 9:49pm On Sep 07, 2007 |
Henin is going down today |
Re: US Open 2007: The Final Grand Slam by dinozzo(m): 9:52pm On Sep 07, 2007 |
Venus 6-5 up in the first set ![]() |
