US OPEN TENNIS

The US OPEN starts today with big names like Andre Agassi whom will retire after this tournament, Andre is calling it a good run. Agassi just like his rival Sampras is going to say goodbye to the professional sport on the grounds of the ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM in NEW YORK. This will be your last time to see this man in action…We got to see this man in action at the Countrywide Classic in Los Angeles, Cali and it was great. This man has a lot of heart for the game and after all these years he is still passionate for it. He is really sweet and kind staying and signing as many autographs as he could while his coach and coordinators of the tournament told him they had to leave he still took his time to get to his fans. Agassi always believed that the game was about the fans and he truly does love his fans. Agassi is one of the greats leaving the game but he will still continue with his foundations, college prep in Las Vegas and helping out the community. His 20 YEARS of Punishment are coming to an end. Maybe he will come back and play WTT like Sampras.

All the tennis pros will be expected at the US OPEN big names like James Blake, whom I personally think can take the championship from Federer. Rafael Nadal, great game, he is fit physically and mentally and he is ready for anything. Roger Federer, is always in his own world and you see no emotion on the court and that is the way he has been able to be #1 in the world, he has an A game and he is the barrier to all those tennis pros wanting to get on top. He is unbelievable, the tennis phenomenon. Andy Roddick the All-American or so they say. He has been struggling ever since his 2003 US Open win. Everything went downhill for his game. He got 2 new coaches since then and he still hasn’t been able to come up the charts dropping to number 11 in the ATP race. It is the first time since he started playing pro that Andy has dropped out of the top 10. Hopefully he will bring his mojo and A game to the US Open and fight for what he wants and put the critics in their place…GOODLUCK…seems to me that Hollywood got to him. Others you should look for are Mardy Fish, has a great game and a true passion a little more fire and he will get far…Robby Ginepri, Fernando Gonzalez, Tommy Haas, Tommy Robredo…

All the women tennis pros at the US OPEN: The returning champ Kim Clijsters has a major defense game, she slides to get those balls and she is a monster on the court, she is unstoppable trying to get every point, this greediness is good to some point. She just cannot let her emotions get the best of her. Amelie Mauresmo is a strong tennis player who attacks at the net…if she continues this strategy with her strong serves she might take the title home. Venus Williams whom is considered the underdog has a powerful game and the confidence to take it all. She gets on court and believes she is the best player and that has gotten her far in her career if she truly wants it she can truly get it, just step it up and its yours. Maria Sharapova the princess of tennis as so she has come to be labeled, if she doesn’t let all the advertising around Flushing meadows get the best of her she can bring a strong game with her strong serve [TENNIS magazine] and vocal chords. Lindsay Davenport has the passion and the charisma of the game but her main enemy is herself and her mentality she must pass on the mental issues of not getting the point and look forward to the next one.
