Friday U.S. Open Play "Iffy" Due to Earl

Tennis fans in New York are watching the weather as Hurricane Earl speeds to the East Coast.

Rain from Earl is is the forecast for all day Friday, and matches at The National Tennis Center could be in question.

After Friday, the rest of the weekend looks perfect for tennis.

Day 4: U.S. Open Match to Watch

Men's Singles - 2nd Round
Robin Soderling(SWE)[5]	vs.	Taylor Dent(USA)

A matchup of big hitters on the Grandstand.  Taylor Dent loves playing on this court and always gets fired up for the U.S. Open.

Soderling is a bit of a question mark heading into this match.  Could be a classic.

How about Sodering in 5 tough sets?

Day 3: U.S. Open Match to Watch

Men's Singles - 1st Round
Frederico Gil(POR)	vs.	John Isner(USA)[18]

A match on Armstrong Stadium.  Inser finally takes the court for his first round encounter with Gil.  Gil doesn't really have anything to hurt Isner, and that is good for John as he is coming off a bad ankle injury in Cincinnati. 

It's a miracle Isner can even take to the court.  Give a lot of credit to John and his training staff.  I hope his ankle holds out,  if it does, he wins in 3.

Federer Goes Between the Legs Again

Is there anything Roger Federer can't do, twice?

Last night he went between the legs again for a outright winner against Brian Dabul.  I love Dabul's reaction and the little smile he gave.

Day 2: U.S. Open Match to Watch

How about a big Serbian 1st round match on Ashe Stadium Court.

It's the match of the day for me.

Men's Singles - 1st Round
Viktor Troicki(SRB)	vs.	Novak Djokovic(SRB)[3]

I'm not high on Djokovic living up to his seed, but he'll get by this one in 5 sets.
