US OPEN DAY 8

I must be still suffering from the earthquake as I had some disastrous selections yesterday. I promise not to be away with the fairies for Day 8.!


Svetlana Kutnetsova Vs Dominika Cibulkova - Kutnetsova is showing much improvement by her improved fitness.


Mardy Fish Vs Novak Djokovic - Novak will get there at the end of the day hits too many balls back for Fish.


Caroline Wozniacki Vs Maria Sharapova - This should be the best of the round! I think Maria will take out the top seed.


Andrea Petkovik Vs Vera Zvonareva - Vera your on a roll!


Jurgen Melzer Vs Roger Federer - Fed always cleans this type of player up at exactly this time of the tournament.


Richard Gasquet Vs Gail Monfils - Battle of the Frenchman ! Will be close Monfils will defend better Gasquet more attacking. Ok Richard I have the money on you !


Kaia Kanepi Vs Yanina Wickmayer - Kanepi is promising Yanina is gritty.


Robert Soderling Vs Albert Montanes - Robert a little more fire power .


FINAL 4TH ROUND SELECTIONS FOR COMPETITION SHOULD BE MADE IN THE COMMENTS SECTION OF THIS POST.


I really want to like Andy Murray but why do I always go for his opposition! I guess I find Andy very much in the Hewitt mould. He is always complaining , looking and yelling at his box ...punching his racquet strings .Andy I think if you are too win a grandslam you must block out your support box stop using senseless energy in whining and focus on your job at hand no matter what your  situation is! When you do this I reckon you will win a Slam.

Finally Tennis Australia must be disappointed with the Aussies in general at the US Open.I bet their web site wont be telling the real story. The Men's results are pathetic .The qualifying was a disaster with some of the so called stars of the future not progressing.Carsten Ball was the only Male that won a match in the Main draw.Thank Goodness for Sam Stosur! Sally Peers did come through qualies and won her first round match but Clijsters cleaned her up easily in a lacklustre match 2 nd round. Now Australia did not have one junior girl competing in the Junior Girls draw not even the qualifying!In the boys section Jason Kubler the 6th seed exited to Evan King of the USA who was unseeded.To make matters even worse James Duckworth the 9th seed was also beaten by an unseeded player.Ben Wagland also exited on the first day to completely decimate the Aussie contingent! Now don't you think Tennis Australia you start telling the real story on your player development program and although their have been questions asked ....they need to be answered don't you think? These players have to harden up and so does Tennis Australia!
