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?

Haase, The Djoker's clone

Haase has been another player turning heads at this year’s edition of the Rogers Cup. Sadly, he is not a next gen player but he is a djoker just not the djoker. In his semifinals clash with Federer he earned himself fans by making a mid-match joke. When the Dutchman was preparing to serve a fan shouted “Come on Roger!” Robin quickly came up with a humorous response “my name is Robin!” It didn’t take long for the crowd to burst into tears after that. It helped him grow since then, in the days since he has gotten 50 more followers total compared to his daily average of 10. The tennis veteran has had an admirable 12 year career.
