Thank you to all that took part in the recent US Open Tipping Competition. It was incredible 2 or even 3 weeks,if we count the Qualifying as well,and we had some really nice matches with hopefully a very profitable event for all of you. Please note that as of Sept 17 the US Open Men results have been modified. Here are the final results:
The women’s side of the U.S. Open was completely unpredictable. Serena Williams’ Calendar Slam was ruined in a Semi-Final shocker, and #2 seed Simona Halep was also upset In her Semi-Final match. We then saw a pre-tournament 300-1 underdog face off against a 150-1 underdog in the all-Italian Final between Pennetta and Vinci.
Let’s take a look at the Men’s Draw for the upcoming US Open,who will play who and at one point the potential blockbusters will happen
Top Half
The Man to beat and 1st seed is Novak Djokovic
The Serb’s preparation to win another crown in New York for the first time since 2011 went well, not perfect for his lofty standards. Losing two finals in a row to Andy Murray (in Canada) and Roger Federer (in Cincinnati) may not look that good, but from his previous 3 Grand Slam tournaments he has lost only 1 final – to Stan Wawrinka in Roland Garros.
2 interesting events take place this week to serve as final preparation for many before the US Open kicks off on August 31-st.
The top seeds of the event Gilles Simon and Kevin Anderson took wildcards to be here as their North American hard court season has been disappointing to say the least.
Barely taking our breath back after that great week in Canada, we move to Cincinnati for Men’s Masters Event and Women’s Premier 5 one. Taking you on a quick tour who will participate and guessing what to expect
Novak Djokovic leads the field as he will be looking to bounce back after a narrowly lost Rogers Cup final to Andy Murray in Canada over the weekend. Djokovic, the champion in 2007, 2011 and 2012, lost for only the fourth time in 56 matches this year. The Serb failed in his bid to tie the ATP Tour record for consecutive Masters 1000 event titles at five.
