The last Grand Slam of the year: US Open 2007

US Open begins on 27th August and last for 2 weeks. It is the last grand slam of the year. I was not able to watch the live matches due to my reservist this week. Highlight of the 1st round is the exit of Gonzalez after he lose to Gabashvili in a 5-set game! The rest of the top 10 players went through to the second round and Federer have already reached the third round.

Well Done Federer! He has captured his 50th singles title at Cincinnati with a straight sets 6-1 & 6-4 win over JB aka James Blake. Sounds funny when i heard the spectators cheering for Blake. Federer has achieved 11 Grand Slams title and 14 Masters Series title at the age of 26. That is amazing! Federer is very confident in the upcoming Grand Slams, US Open, which will start on the 27th August. Will he defend his US Open title this year or will the rising star, Novak Djokovic, triumph or will Nadal successfully capture his first hard court Grand Slam title? Can't wait to see their performance.

Federer did not manage to defend his title in Rogers Cup at Montreal

What a disappointment from Federer in the final vs Novak Djokovic from Serbia. Federer could have finish the match in straight sets but he did not convert the 6 set points opportunities in the first set. After Federer lost the tie break in the first set, he came up strong on the seond set winning 6-2. That was a morale boaster for both Federer and his fans! I continued to watch the game till the third set and he was broken serve in the first game! Eventually Federer lose the third set in a tie break again. Despite Federer having 15 Aces in the whole match, he also have plenty of unforced errors at big points. Well Novak Djokovic shold also have some credit for beating the top 3 seeds in a row to win the championships. Well Done Djokovic!
