US Open Day #4
W
ow, an awesome day of tennis for me today. I wasn't sure how I would deal with it all, so many matches I wanted to see in the morning, the one I wanted to see most was between Alize Cornet and Bethanie Mattek. I finally went to grandstand to see that match and apart from a few minutes to see the end of Timea Bacsinszky's match, I was on that court for about 4 hours! I had a great match as Alize Cornet played her opening match... I was not that impressed with how she played her match though, especially when Mattek starting playing moonballs... But anyway, as in her first match, Alize played a lot better in the 2nd set and was dominant as she advanced to the 3rd round!Then, quite a show as I watched Michael Llodra and Andy Murray battle it out in a terrific 4 set match, the best one I've seen in this year's Open this year. There was a little bit of everything, shotmaking, finesse, drama (in so many ways) and in the end, the crowd favourite came out with the win! After that match, I wandered a bit over the grounds, mostly through some doubles and mixed doubles matches..I then finished my day with the end of the terrific match between Evgeny Korolev and Gael Monfils.. spectacular tennis really! Then a bit of doubles with fellow Canadian Daniel Nestor advancing today...!A great if not perfect day of tennis and I'm thrilled to see they've put Azarenka vs Wozniack on grandstand tomorrow, should be a great one really!!!Without further wait, my other photos:)
