I have decided to sit down and actually see what the chances are of Andy Murray taking over the world number 3 spot from Roger Federer by the end of 2011. Actually, the chances are quite high!

These are the results of both players from last year. Thus, if Andy has a strong run at the end of the year he will probably take over the number 3 spot in the world.

Julia Goerges is a player on the rise very quickly at the moment. Goerges defeated Caroline Wozniacki for the second time in two weeks at the Madrid Open. Goerges ended up making the semifinals of the event where she lost to Victoria Azarenka.
Goerges has seen her ranking go from 75th to 25th in the past year and all of this and she is only 22 years of age.

I have just headed over to a very popular tennis scores site SteveGTennis and noticed that the site is down! SteveGTennis has been the most popular tennis scores website for many year and especially amongst players on the ITF tours. The site is very simple to use and has all the scores in an old school text format.
This makes me wonder if the site is going to be down for just a few hours or is it going to stay down and head towards the deadpool (sites that have gone under).
Does anyone still use SteveGTennis?
Is SteveGTennis.com still being used by professional players? I remember when I was back playing futures and satellite tournaments around the world, everyone used to check SteveGTennis to keep upto date on results from all tournaments. SteveGTennis is simple and very easy to use, but as of late I have noticed their traffic has been decreasing and I was wondering if professional players still use this service or do they go to other sites now?
Here we are in the second week of the US Open and getting down to the big money rounds. There has been so much happening at the US Open im not even too sure where to start. However, here is the wrap up from the tournament.
In the men’s draw they are down to the last two quarterfinal matches in which we will see Roger Federer take on unseeded Gilles Muller from Luxembourg. While in the other quarterfinal left it will see Americas last hope for the men’s title Andy Roddick, take on Novak Djokovic. The two players who have already won their quarterfinal matches and will meeting the first semifinal will be top see Raphael Nadal and he will play young Brit Andy Murray. Murray has produced some great performances in the tournament so far and he has never been this deep into a Grand Slam, so will be interesting to see how he fares against Rafa.
While on the Women’s side of the draw they have made their way to the semifinals. The first semi will see Dinara Safina head off against Serena Williams (who only just beat her sister in the previous round). While Elena Dementieva will play Jelana Jankovic in the other semi. While I’m not surprised to have seen Ana Ivanovic lose in the second round, it is just poor to think that it took her a really long time to get to the top and when she has been there she just hasn’t performed at all in the Grand Slams. I can’t see Ivanovic staying in the top 5 for too long if she continues to play the way she is playing, maybe too much promotional work is getting to her.
Overall there has been a lot happening on and off court at the US Open, which is normally the case cause it is heading towards the end of season. The more I see the US Open, I really just think they are losing touch with the other 3 Grand Slams. Australian Open is the players favourite, French Open is the one the Europeans want to win, Wimbledon is the big one, US Open just has the most money!
The US Open is now up and running and there have already been some interesting results on Day 1.
Raphael Nadal has started off with a solid straight sets win over Bjorn Phau (GER) 7-6 6-3 7-6. Even though the set scores were really close Nadal always seems to find a way to win the tiebreaks.
In other matches James Blake (9) struggled in his first round match with fellow American Donald Young. Blake ended up winning 6-4 in the 5th set. This was a great result however for Young, who is still new to ATP tour matches since he stopped playing juniors. Young has a lot of expectation on his shoulders from the USTA, and it will be great to see how he progresses in the coming years. I think he could cause a few surprises in the years to come.
Juan Martin Del Porto survived a really tough first round match over Guillermo Canas. Del Porto was the 17th seed, but was expected to really have a fight on his hands, and in the end he came out triumphant.
Other winners were Andy Murray, Gael Monfils, Stanislas Wawrinka and David Nalbandian.
On the womens side there were straight forward wins for Jelena Jankovic, Lindsay Davenport, Elena Dementieva, and Svetlana Kuznetsova. The only surprise was that glamour girl of the women’s tour Maria Kirilenko couldn’t live up to her 22nd seeding and was put out in three close sets. I really hope Kirilenko doesnt end up being another Ana Kornikova!
