Women's Tennis:The Height of Unpredictability

U.S Open has started and it is worth discusing the most unpredictable event in all grandslams i.e the women's singles.


The most unpredictable event in any Grand Slam event since many years has been Women's Singles event.In fact No.1 and No.2 seeds have never played finals among them in Women's Singles.Each and every year there has has been an unknown champion in Women's singles event.There have been times when  players like Venus Willams seeded 23 went on to win the Wimbledon in 2007.The very unpredictable nature of this event makes it exciting and gives new faces a chance to gain recognition in World arena.The interesting thing to note is that Women's Singles is highly unpredictable and to its contrary Men's singles is dominated by the Big four(Federer,Nadal,Djokovic,Murray).
Another interesting fact in Women's tennis is the big gap in number of Grandslam victories.Among the current players Serena Willams has 23 grand slams following her is Venus Willams who has 7 Grand Slams to her name,i.e the difference of 16 grand slams.This also indicates the highly unpredictable nature of this event.Maria Sharapova ,who won her first Grand Slam in 2004,  only managed to win five grandslams which means five  grandslam in 14 years.The main reason for such statics is the inconsistent performance of Women's players in Grandslam events.They constantly get injured in every one or two years.Even Serena Willams had to wait for such grandslam victory.After 1999 she had to wait for 3 years i.e 2002 to win a grand slam.In fact she won 3 grandslams in 2002.
Another good thing about women's tennis is that after singles the women change over to doubles event.Martina Hingis did the same and has been winning doubles events in recent years.This is good as legends of the game always bring life to the events.
Finally I believe that the unpredictabilty in the women's event helps the event to become popular and also help new players to come up.Interestingly this year also 19 seeded players are already out of the women's singles event.I won't be surprised if we see an unpopular face lift the U.S Open trophy this year.

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...

ATP World Tour Finals 2017:As it happened

The most dramatic tournament of the year ended up with debutant Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria winning this tournament for the very first time.This blog is the analysis of this tournament. Nobody in this world would have predicted Dimitrov to win the ATP World tour finals this year.But he suprised everyone by defeating David Goffin of Belgium to clinch this title at his very first attempt.I really do not think this have ever happened in the past.The tournament was a roller coaster ride.First of all Nadal had to pull out from this tournament in the league stage itself which gave Pablo Custa a surprise entry to the championship. It was also the first time semi finals was contested with three debutants.Above all Dimitrov winning the championship.Roger Federer who was expected to win the championship in the semi finals after losing to David Goffin inthe semifinals.The way Goffin played against Federer it was predicted that he would eventually win the tournament.But in the finals Dimit...
