US Open Men's results day 15

US Open Men's results day 15

Djokovic beat Nadal 6-2, 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-1. The world number 1 wins his first US Open against the second seed. Personally I believe there is some controversy, when an obviously tired Djokovic takes an injury time out almost just after losing the 3rd set, which I think was for a rest, but that is in my opinion. Also not happy about the crowd making noise on Nadal's serve, which probably cost him his service game at 2-0 in the 2nd set. But in the end of the day Djokovic won and nothing can change that.

US Open Women's results day 14

US Open Women's results day 14

Stosur beat Williams 6-2, 6-3. The ninth seed eases past the 28th seed to take her first Grand Slam. The match included some controversy when Williams had a row with the umpire when she shouted come on, while Stosur was running down the ball.

                          VS







Serena Williams

YTD record - 16-2
Best US Open - Winner, 1999, 2002, 2008

Previous matches
Round 1 vs Jovanovski - 6-1, 6-1
Round 2 vs Krajicek - 6-0, 6-1
Round 3 vs Azarenka - 6-1, 7-6(5)
Round 4 vs Ivanovic 6-3, 6-4

Semi Finals vs Kerber - 6-3, 2-6, 6-2

Head to Head
S Williams leads 4-2
Williams has won their only meeting this year in straight sets at Toronto. Their previous match before that was a French Open Quarter Finals, which Stosur won in 3 sets.

Predictions Final

Stosur is probably a surprise finalist here, beating 3 seeds, including 2nd seed, Zvonareva. She may be a bit tired after having 3 set matches in 3 of the last 4 matches, including yesterday. Williams has been unbeatable all tournament yet to drop a set and only playing in 1 tie breaker. 
Conclusion - You'd have to be a brave person to bet against Williams winning here for a 4th time. She is definitely favourite and I think she will win in 2 sets here.

Today we will find out the results for these matches.

Head to Head

Djokovic, however, has won the last 5 meetings, all this year. On the other hand Nadal beat Djokovic at last year's US Open final.

Predictions Final

The world number 1 has played brilliantly this year as well as at this tournament. Last round he saved two match points on the way to overcoming Federer from 2 sets down. He has dropped 3 sets all tournament, 2 in the last round. Nadal has been in amazing form at this year's US Open, dropping just 1 set to Murray in the last round. His shots have been almost perfect and he looks like a man on a mission.
Conclusion - This is a hard match to decide, however, I think Nadal will win in 4 sets, winning the first 2 sets then losing the 3rd and winning the 4th to finish the match.

Tomorrow we will find out who wins these matches
