US Open 26th August-9th September

[Master Splinter]

No predictions so far?

Anyway, mine are Murray and Azarenka.

MS .

Muzza era well and truly over. Officially. Until January.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed, Muzza and Nadal have all gone out of a Slam in straight sets this year, Djokovic too if you include the Wimbledon final.

[Syn]

Until November when the second biggest event of the year, after Wimbledon, kicks off.

Heidi: What do I make of that? I think it's fantastic. We don't all love Murray...

Youzhny to be inspired by Stan's freak show?

Hope he goes all out for winners from the first point. He's not really going to win any other way.

Thought Murray was on at midnight

Wawrinka

Thought Murray was on at midnight

Wawrinka

Wawrinka is one of those players who on his day can beat anymore though this would be his first grand slam semi final, lacks consistency.....i remember him taking Djokovic to five sets in Melbourne and gave the serb an absolute pasting in the first set....can hit the ball as hard as Del Potro and has great finesse at times.

To be fair, i thought before this competition started it would be Nadal's title to lose.....he has never really impressed me on hard court but he's been the form player coming into this tournament and looks unplayable.
