Andy Murray wins the US Open Tennis Championship!

His coach Ivan Lendl has done a good job with Andy. Andy Murray won the Open in 5 sets against Novak Djokovic. The match took almost 5 hours. What a wonderful way to end the Open. An epic match.The final score was 7-6, 7-5, 2-6 ,3-6, 6-2 the 5 set match. It was not to be had since 1936 that England had won a Grand Slam Tournament. Both 25 years old. Novak said he did his best and Andy just outplayed him. Really humble and the words of Champions.  Wow.

Serena dispatched Azarenka in 3 sets 7-5 in the 3rd., We will see alot more of Azarenka. Although as I predicted it was close. Serena was playing wonderfully well throughout the tournament. Really great and close match. Congratulations to our home town, Serena Williams.

Berdych is looking good ! US Open Tennis Championships

Berdych is looking good against Andy Murray. Berdych has won the first set 7-5. They are in the start of the  second set and the wind is blowing considerably. Now is the beginning of the third set Murray has won the second set 6-2. This is a great match.
Berdych has had a great tournament and he has worked very hard. With the wind I believe he will be the favorite. Although Murray is winning the third set right now 3-0. We shall see.  Murray is playing smart right now. As I've said in previous posts, this has been a great US Open Tennis Championship. Berdych's win against the Swiss watch was some great play. Today will be the test for Berdych.
Again, as I stated in earlier posts Serena should be the favorite in the finals. She will play Azarenka and she, Serena, should win. Azarenka will put up a fight. She has had a good tournament up to now but Serena is playing amazingly well. It ought to be a great final. Thanks for reading. Coach Anderson
Update on earlier post; Murray is using the wind better than Berdych at this juncture. Murray has now won two sets to Berdych's 1. The are in the 4th set. Hope Berdych can adjust to the really difficult wind.

Ferrer looks good!

Mr. Ferrer (sp) is a winner on Day 11 of the US Open Tennis Championship. His 5 set win will pit him after his 4 hour 31 minutes match against Janko Tipsarevic against Mr. Andy Murray. Hope he can find the energy to give Mr. Murray a run for his money.

Serena Williams has not lost a set yet. She is definately the most likely to win the Woman's side of the open. Good luck to our local champion Serena!

Tonight Del Portro will play Djokovic. Djokovich is in my mind the favorite. Although Del Porto has been playing well!

Sorry to see our local Andy Roddick retire! He has really contributed a huge amount to the game of tennis. HIS exciting serve and amazing groundies earns him a spot in the greats of tennis. Thanks Andy for your dedication to the Great Sport of Tennis.

This has been a very exciting US Open Tennis Championship. Thanks to all the players for their dedication and effort! Coach Anderson
