  • Andy Murray, Finally a Grand Slam Champion

    After winning the gold medal in London, it seemed like this was the year Andy Murray finally comes through on his Grand Slam promise.

  • 2012 US Open Final – Djokovic vs Murray Predictions

    For just the third time in their career, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic will face off in a Grand Slam Final. If we’re to judge and predict the outcome of this one based on their Grand Slam encounters (0-2 to Djokovic) and their ability in the 2012 US Open so far, this one should be another title for the Nole.

  • Roger Federer – Too Much Rust Means US Open Disappointment

    There’s something about Tomas Berdych that makes Roger Federer uncomfortable, losing to the Czech player for the fourth time out of their last seven meetings, finding himself out of the US Open, for the first time in nine years, before the semifinal stage.

  • Andy Roddick – Losing the Final Tennis Match of his Career

    The problem in playing your final career match in Tennis is that you’re probably going to lose it. From the moment Andy Roddick announced that he’ll retire at the end of his road at the 2012 US Open, the countdown began. Eventually, it was Juan Martin del Potro, as expected, being too much for the 30 year old American in the fourth round of the tournament.

  • US Open 2012 – Roger Federer Above the Rest of the Field

    If there was any doubt as to who was the best man in Tennis after Federer lost in the Olympics final and took the Canadian Masters off, came his fantastic tournament at Cincinnati, including the win over Novak Djokovic in the final (6-0, 7-6), making the number one player on the ATP rankings the number one favorite to win the 2012 US Open.

  • Roger Federer – Keeps Setting New Records

    With the right kind of rest and as long as it’s not clay, Roger Federer is the best tennis player in the world, once again. The next addition to his never ending list of titles is the 2012 Cincinnati Masters, beating Novak Djokovic 6-0, 7-6 in the final, winning his sixth title of the year.

  • Rafael Nadal Injuries – A Huge Blow to the World of Tennis

    Instead of taking advantage of Novak Djokovic’s return to humanity from his superhuman 2011 season, Rafael Nadal keeps missing tournaments since losing early on at Wimbledon. First the Olympics, then the Canadian and Cincinnati Masters, and now finally the US Open.

  • Andy Murray – Finally Beating Roger Federer in a big Match

    Olympic gold medals in Tennis don’t matter that much. But when you’re Andy Murray, 0-4 in Grand Slam finals throughout your career, and especially with the final against Roger Federer and taking place at Wimbledon, it means much more than it usually does to other players.

  • Tiger Woods, Despite Everything, With Another Career Worst

    It used to be an automatic for Tiger Woods. Winning majors, when heading into the weekend tied for the lead. He was 8 for 9 in that situation heading into Saturday of the 2012 US Open, tied for -1 along with Jim Furyk. Both of them imploded eventually, leaving the road open for Webb Simpson. But it was longer, more painful, as always, to watch Tiger going through another meltdown.

  • John Peterson With a Hole-In-One at the US Open

    Tiger Woods falling behind in the 2012 US Open after sharing the lead is the big story this weekend from San Francisco, but some of the spotlight did go to John Peterson who made a hole-in-one on the 13th hole.
