Fedal In The Us Open semis?

Federer and Nadal did not have the easiest matches during this Us Open’s first round. The Swiss maestro had to go the distance with the young 19 year old American talent eventually taking the match. Nadal also had a shaky start by trailing a break to Dusan Lajovic.

Both players probably hoped for better first round matches. Federer outnumbered Tiafoe in unforced errors 56-49 but made up for it in the winners section 41-23. Nadal won in aces 5-1 but paid for it in double faults 5-2.

Can Nadal and Federer prove they’re back in this US Open by meeting in the semis? Or will there be upsets in this year’s edition of the US Open? Both players have unseeded players in the next round.

Nadal has drawn Japanese representative Daniel who shouldn’t be much of a problem. Meanwhile, Federer is not having such an easy time, facing Youzhny who has proven to be a challenging and unpredictable opponent. Both players will have to find ways to control their nerves, which almost got the best of them in their previous matches.

Will the iconic duo be able to progress into the round of thirty-two or will they be walking home after a rather short visit to flushing meadows?

We’ve all dreamed about it as kids, and maybe even adults. But how would you actually come into contact with them? Here are a couple ways that you might find useful. Using Their Agency I know of 1 particular agency that represents a couple of big players like Djokovic and Nadal. They offer lots of different opportunities to contact their players. You can book a hitting session with them or have lunch with them, imagine finding out what Nadal orders at restaurants! You can get a private meet and greet with the player of your choice I’m not too sure but you could probably also do it for an organization too. Although this isn’t with a player you can get a “backstage tour” of an ATP or WTA tournament of your choice. Or something every single tennis fan has dreamed of sitting in a player’s private box and having cameras shine on them. Just think about sitting next to Jelena or Xisca and talking to them about their boyfriend/husband’s game. Or you can sit on the court during a p...
