U.S.Open 2017:As it happened

The last grandslam of the year ended leaving behind too many surprises.This blog is about the results of the concluded U.S Open 2017.



Finally the answer has come as to who would win the U.S Open this year.But unfortunately we could not see Federer vs Nadal playing against each other.The result of men's singles is no surprise as one of  Federer or Nadal was predicted to win.Federer ,who looked that he was unfit after playing two back to back five set matches in the opening round lost in the quarter finals against Del Potro.Though after the match he confessed that he was absolutely fit and lost because he was not determined mentally.But the person who deserves applause is Juan Martin Del Potro.I mean what a great comeback he has made.The former U.S Open champion was out from competitive tennis for so long,struggling to make a comeback finally registers an epic performance.And who does he choose to register his comeback,the contender himself Roger Federer.The second impressive player is Kevin Anderson.The 28th seed young South African made his way from the bottom half of the draw which was expected to have such surprises.But what to say about the champion Rafael Nadal who won his second grandslam of this year.He has managed to reach three grandslam finals this year.After a rough start to the tournament,he made sure that he was at his best in the later rounds.The final match was sheer dominance as he won in straight sets (6-3 6-3 6-4).
If the results of men's singles was expected the results of women's singles was an absolutely unexpected.Sloane Stephens stole the show in an all U.S affair against Madison Keys.The unseeded player from U.S.A managed to upset players like Venus Willams in semi finals and Anastasija Sevatsova in Quarter finals in her road glory.It was a U.S.A dominated championship as all the four woman semi finalists were from U.S.A .Martina Hingis along with Chan Yung Jan took away the mixed doubles events while Jean Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau took away the men's doubles event.Lucie Hradecka and Katerenia Siniakova took the women's doubles event in an all Czech affair.
Finally I am happy to see the old days of dominance of Nadal and Federer are back.I wish that hese two players keep on playing for ever to keep the quality and entertainment of tennis high.

Ashes 2017:The clash of the Titans

The most awaited test series of the year,Ashes is back with Australia and England battling one more time.This blog about the team analysis of both the teams and who stands a better chance this time. This year's Ashes series is a very different contest all together.Both the teams have a bunch of new players and debutants.This makes the series even more interesting.Talking about the visitors i.e England,the whole batting line up revolves aroung two players Alaister Cook and Joe Root.The whole team is a lot more dependant on these two players.The top order of England having the likes of  Mark Stoneman,David Malan,James Vince is difficult to predict as these players don't have much experience.But the strength lies in the lower middle order of England where there is Moeen Ali,Jonny Bairstow.Both these players have a decent average of 35+.But it would be intersting to see how Moeen Ali plays in the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia.He got exposed to short balls when England ...

Who will win the U.S Open 2017?

U.S Open 2017 is all set to see its 137th champion.The withdrawl of many contenders have made this edition much more interesting.This blog discusses the major contenders of this championship this year. The biggest talking point in this year's U.S Open is who will play the finals rather than who will win the U.S Open.This is probably the first time that Nadal and Federer are placed in the same half of the draw in the absence of Djokovic and Murray.Defending champion Stanlas Wawrinka has also pulled out of the U.S Open due to injury.This means the top half is packed with many former U.S Open champions like Del Potro along with Federer and Nadal.Hence the one who advances from the top half is expected to win the championship.Bottom half has some good players like Cilic,Sam Querry,Zverev,Tsonga but Tsonga and Zverev have already been knocked out of tournament.The bottom half is expected to have such upsets because none of these players have been consistent in grand slam events...
