US Open 2009

Finally the US Open is over after many interesting matches and few interesting new players. First of all I am really disappointed with Federer’s loss but Del Potro deserves this win just for his forehand shot’s alone. I've never seen a player with that immense force to hit the ball, it went like a rocket and he out played Federer. He is just 20 now and will become like a Federer if he continues to play well. Federer has lost this match because of his bad serve and the no of unforced errors. The reason for errors, he didn’t play against any good player in the tournament except playing against Jocovic in the semi, but in the other case Del Porto has played against all good players in most of the rounds and the match against Nadal was awesome.

I went to the women’s final and I was happy to see Kim and Caroline playing final. First of all I hate William’s sisters to come to the final and Kim had beat both of them with her experience and it’s a great comeback after a two years which many won’t get as a sports person. That too at the end of the ceremony sharing the court with his little baby girl, it was so nice to watch and may be she is the only player who was lucky enough to had a moment like that. Her opponent Caroline Wozniacki is a good player and she beat all the players comfortably, and the one match which I liked most was against the US teenager Oudin who had beat 4 Russian players consecutively including Sharapova and Demetieva and entered into quarter final. For couple of days Oudin was the headline in most of the channels.

I’ve already mentioned about Serena’s foot fault reaction in the previous match and in the semi she went to an extra step and scolded the line umpire for a minute and she got a penalty point which happened to be a match point for Kim. After the match during the press conference, one reporter has asked, "Does that line umpire deserve any kind of apology" and she didn’t answer that question and for some other question she said she may meet her. After winning the doubles championship during the press conference she asked sorry to that line umpire, maybe because she won or else she might have scolded the main umpire in the doubles match as well.

Watching the match live from the stadium was a real good experience and I wish to go again if I am going to be here for the next UP Open.
