RAIN DELAYS

Rain Delays for the US OPEN 2006...all matches have been postponed until tomorrow. You will get to see Maria Sharapova, Andre Agassi, and Roddick battle it out. Action begins 11 am EST on CBS...check your local listings.

James Blake played a great game yesterday. CONGRATULATIONS Blake on your win!!!

Patrick McEnore was asked who he thought would win the US OPEN 2006 and he said Andy Roddick will get to the finals because he is bringing his all-around game. I do agree that Roddick has made some improvements and he is getting to those balls at the net but the problem with Roddick is that he lets his emotions get the best of him and they clearly show on the court. If Roddick has the right mentality lets say like Sampras, or Federer, to show no emotion, to let your opponent wonder how you feel that is how he would get to the finals.
John McEnore believes Maria Sharapova will win the Grand Slam because she grew and she wants it badly ever since her Wimbledon win.

We will see who wins next week. I really want Agassi to win because it is his last Grand Slam, this is where he will retire and winning would be icing on the cake like I said before, so I am really rooting for him, I am a big fan, go AGASSI!

I am also a Roddick fan but to tell you the truth his game hasn't been that great in the last couple of years. He dropped to #11 in the ATP races, now that is not bad because he is still in the top 20. Roddick is just a big baby...hahahaha...I like watching his games to see the drama he brings. He always has a reason to argue with the chair umpire or with the line judges and I think that is so entertaining and funny. He just needs to control those emotions because who knows maybe one day he will be kicked out of a match...I wouldn't doubt it. I played tennis for many years and my coach always said not to argue with the opponents or the umpire or line judges, she said to be a good sport and not tell them what they are not doing. I think that good sport etiquette should be something Roddick gets trained in. The chair umpires and the line judges have been doing their jobs for longer than he has been a tennis pro so there is no need to argue, just cool it!!!
