U.S. Open Match to Watch: Day 10

Rain on Tuesday means all the Tuesday matches are moved to Wednesday, so a full day of action plus even more.

It will be worth staying up late to watch Roger Federer and Jo-Wilifried Tsonga play the second match of the night session.

Federer holds a 4-3 career mark over the French player, but Tsonga has won the last two encounters, including Wimbledon and Canada this summer. 

Both matches went the distance and I expect this one to do the same.  Tsonga appears to be playing with a bunch of confidence and that should allow him to eek out a 5-set win.

U.S. Open Match to Watch: Day 8

The day session on Ashe for Labor Day will feature quite a match between the #1 American, Mardy Fish and a guy who loves this kind of big match in Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France.

This match should be very even.

Believe it or not, these two have never played before.  Both are trying to get through the draw since it has opened up a bit.

Fish has been very consistent this summer and Tsonga has had some big wins in 2011.  It should be entertaining, heart-wrenching and the crowd will be into it.

Look for Fish to take advantage of his supurb conditioning and win in 5.
