US Open series

Players are back for the US open series. A bonus will be added to the player that cumulates more points. Last year, Dementieva was the leader heading to the US open but it is not looking so good for her at the moment. So, to make it short, Azarenka won Stanford, Pavlyuchenkova won Istanbul, Kuznetsova finally wanted to play a little and won San Diego while Wozniacki won Copenhagen in her home country.

Surprisingly, but not without effort, Jelena Jankovic climb back to number 2, and since then, she had been plagued by a series of injuries and if you asked me, the ankle injury is the worst she could have since her footwork is the anchor of her game. Still a little rusty, she couldn’t make it very far in Cinci and finally Kim Clijsters won a third tournament of the year. The women are now fighting for the Rogers Cup in Montreal where the level of competition is very high. It is going to be a hot tournament

Serena wins Wimbledon

Wimbledon left me on my appetite, or not! On the woman side at least, since my champion on the men side won : Rafael Nadal. As you know it, Serena Wiliams won it, in front of Vera Zvonareva who was marvellous all week for a her first ever slam final.

Since it happened a month ago, i won’t comment any further, you all know the story. No offence to Serena, but even thought she has guts and talent, with what happened at the US open last year, she should have been suspended. Maybe they didn’t do it because of the spectacle, but they are a bunch of great players out there who would have been able to keep us entertain.
