Finally
It's here. This has always been my favorite major. Nothing like an evening match at center court in Flushing Meadows.
Who are your favorites?
I'd like Roger Federer and Kim Clijsters to win. However, I think this could be Andy Murray's time. He's played so well during hard court season. I think Kim's injury is worse than she is letting on and Caroline Wozniacki has a great deal of momentum going into the tournament with back-to-back hard court wins.
I think for the women, there are plenty of wildcards, including Maria Sharapova.
My American predictions: Andy Roddick gets eliminated in the second round and Mardy Fish gets into the quarters. James Blake doesn't make it past his opening match.
