2008 US Open
Only a day in and there have been some great matches so far....
I'm surprised Blake pulled that one, because he really looked down and out at some points. He does seem to thrive on that center court. The J-Block must help. I'd definitely like to see more of Young. Although the depth of US tennis doesn't seem great, Young should move up in the rankings as the likes of Fish, Ginepri, and perhaps even Blake, begin to fade...
It'll be interesting to see how the Nadal reacts. I thought he'd walk all over his first opponent, but he's played a lot in last few months. He has definitely improved on this surface though.
Not sure what to expect from Federer. He always does well at Flushing Meadows, but he's been struggling. It's hard to say.
My stab in the dark winner picks -
Men: Murray
Women: Dementieva
