Hasta la Vista

















Rafael Nadal guaranteed Spain’s berth in its sixth Davis Cup final, crushing Andy Roddick in a 6-4, 6-0, 6-4 ass-kicking for an unbeatable 3-1 lead over the 2007 champion United States. Nuff' said.

Spain will play either Argentina or Russia.

No Spain, No Gain



















The US team is down 2-1 in Davis Cup action against heavily favored Spain. Raphael Nadal outlasted Sam Querry 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 in just over 3 hours, while Roddick lost to David Ferrer 7-6 (5), 2-6, 1-6, 6-4, 8-6.

The US team won Saturday's doubles match pitting Mardy Fish and Mike Bryan vs. Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco. To advance, the US needs to win both reverse singles featuring Roddick vs. Nadal and Querry vs. Ferrer on Sunday.

Let's be honest here, we don't stand much of a chance even if James Blake and Bob Bryan were able to compete, but at least the guys hung in there.

All Bets are Off!



























Nikolay Davydenko was cleared by the ATP of all wrongdoing on charges related to suspicious betting patterns related to a match he was accused of throwing over a year ago.

C'mon, it took this long to figure this crap out. The OJ trial took less time and there was no black glove. I'm just sayin.

I've got $100 on Daveydenko's next match!

Blake off Davis Cup Team



























Sam Querry will replace James Blake, who was left off the defending champion U.S. Davis Cup team because of physical and mental exhaustion.

If by exhaustion, you mean having a less than spectacular summer season, then half this team should be replaced.

Last year, the US team captured their 32nd Davis Cup title. Their opponents, Raphael Nadal, David Ferrer, Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez headline the team from Spain.

Lucky 13!



















Finally! What has been a disappointing season by Roger Federer's standards, comes to a great end with a 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 victory over #6 seed Andy Murray.

Federer is one away from tying Pete Sampras's record of 14 Grand Slam titles and becomes the first man since 1924 to win 5 straight US Opens.
Congrats Roger!

Great Scot!






















Personally, I didn't think Andy would pull this one off. I fully expected Nadal, being the human backboard that he is, to come out guns-a-blazin and take it in 5. Murray's trying to become the first British man to win a major tennis championship since Fred Perry at the 1936 U.S. Open. He'll move to #4 in the rankings this week.

Look for Federer to win his 13th Grand Slam title tomorrow. Murray will be too overwhelmed on this occasion. Agree? Disagree? Leave your comments below and set your DVRs.

Federer will play either Raphael Nadal or Andy Murray. Murray is up 2 sets to love and a break down in the 3rd against a struggling Nadal. However play has been suspended for the day due to rain. Good news for Nadal.

Wonder Twin Powers Activate!

















Form of a Grand Slam Champion!

Sorry, couldn't resist the Super Friends reference. Bob and Mike Bryan won their 2nd US Open title and 6th Grand Slam overall yesterday with a 7-6, 7-6 win over Leander Paes and Lukas Dlouhy.

The Bryans next head to Spain to help the US defend their Davis Cup title.

The Fed raises his game



























Roger Federer dominated Gilles Muller today with a 7-6, 6-4, 7-6 win, advancing him to his 18th consecutive Grand Slam semi-final.

Let's see how it all went down:

1st Set - Federer wins tiebreak when Muller nets backhand. Crowd goes wild!
2nd Set - Fed breaks at 4-4 and then serves out the set. Crowd goes wild!
3rd Set - Another breaker. Muller nets it. Federer goes wild!

Does Federer still have it in him? Tune in to find out.

The Spaniard vs. The Scot

Semi Final #1 is set!

#1 Rafa Nadal takes on #6 Andy Murray, who ended Juan Martin del Potro's 23 match win streak. This should be a good matchup – both guys are playing the best tennis of their careers right now.

As for Del Potro, who's coming off four consecutive title wins, he will certainly move up in the rankings and has a bright future in the Men’s game.

Bryans advance to Finals

Bob and Mike Bryan advanced to the finals with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Tommy Robredo and Sergio Roitman in less than an hour. The Bryans are 31-12 at the Open and captured the title in 2005.

The twins face Leander Paes and Lukas Dlouhy, winners over Maximo Gonzalez and Juan Monaco, who advance to their first Grand Slam final.

Chest bumps all around!

Battle of the 5 Setters




















Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic both struggled today in 5 set matches against Igor Andreev and Tommy Robredo. Federer was royally pissed off but showed lots of fight in the 5th. He needs to keep it up if he wants to win another slam.

Up next for Federer is the talented Gilles Muller who defeated Nikolay Davydenko in 4 sets.

No Djoke!



























Novak Djokovic survived a strong challenge from 19 yr. old Marin Cilic of Croatia to advance to the round of 16. Novak won 6-7, 7-5, 6-4, 7-6.

Cilic's got mad skills and is one of the new crop of young guns emerging on the men's tour. Seriously, this guys's good.
