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?

Martina Hingis’s Retirement, How Much Does Her Prize Money Weigh?

Martina Hingis has announced her retirement from tennis (again.) Effective from after the year-end tournament in Singapore. She has won 68 singles titles and 26 doubles titles, she has won 102 matches against top 10 players and has won 2-year end tournaments in singles and 3-year end tournaments in doubles and has won millions of tennis fans’ hearts across the globe. But what about the rest of her story? This definitely isn’t the first time that Martina Hingis retired from tennis, in fact, she did it twice. Once in 2003 and again in 2007, but why did it happen? Well in 2003 she retired after having multiple recent injuries. She claimed that she was in pain and it was too much for her. In her press conferences, she said that she wanted to “focus” on her studies. She claimed she was only going to play tennis recreationally she also wanted to go horseback riding more and she could do that with a more open schedule. She returned in 2005 after a short-lived retirement. Her first p

18x20 or traditional 16x19/18

When it comes to buying a new racket there are a lot of things to look for, I am here to discuss string pattern with you. Pros and cons of the 18x20 less spin less power more control better feel recommended for advanced tennis players (3.5+) requires more muscle Pros and cons of the 16x19/18 more spin adequate power less feel less control easier to use and good for intermediate and beginners less muscle What about the 18x16 or other spin patterns? These are less common and harder to find they offer more spin and depth but aren't too offensive, they are more for baseliners. Few players use spin patterns one is Grigor Dimitrov who uses an all out 15x16 spin pattern. The problem with spin patterns are the strings move around a lot and break easier so you have to use either a hybrid pattern or synthetic string so it breaks less.

Zverev, Boss Or Bust?

Z verev has had an amazing run in his dream 2017 season and was showing no signs of stopping ahead of this year’s US Open. Last night something unpredictable happened. He lost to his fellow next gen contender, the Croatian Borna Coric 6-3, 5-7, 6-7, 6-7. Zverev at the 2015 US Open Zverev started off his year with an impressive run to the round of 32 in the Australian Open until he got shut down by Nadal 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. Later he exited a tournament due to Kyrgios on 2 straight occasions. Which was then followed up by another defeat to Nadal in the round of 16 in Monte-Carlo. 8 days before his first round match he beat Raonic and Djokovic to get his first Masters title. Following that achievement he suffered a first round exit to Verdasco in 4 sets, 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 2-6. Maybe his curse is real! A little later, he reached a round of 16 match. Then he fell to Milos Raonic 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 5-7, 6-1. I’m sure he and the majority of his fans hoped and believed he could’ve do
