Wow. What a week this was to see so many great players go down from either injury or defeat.
Update: Bartoli Wins Against Lisicki- No Surprise after her demonstration against Flipkens.
Saturday 9am Lisicki vs Bartoli
Lisicki Beats Radwanska to get in final and for a time it looked like she didn't want to win it.
Bartoli beat Flipkens in a pure demonstration of power and will.
Sunday 9am Djokovic vs Murray
If Murray is ever going to win this it will be this year. I think he deserves one but Novak is still an amazing power on the courts. Murray has the foot speed to match Djokovic but we will see if he can match Novak in weaponry on the court.
I have a personal nickname for Novak after watching him stretch at the U.S. Open. 2 years ago. He reminded me of Gumby and he stretches like him. I just ran a search to see if anyone else came up with this and this is not just me thinking this. I hear he doesn't like it though. One thing is certain is that his flexibility is one of his biggest assets in play. It is amazing to see him contort and stretch to retrieve shots and attack from these positions where most would be simply defending. No one can match him on the men's side for this. He is like Gumby.
Murray has improved his demeanor on the court and that has made me more respectful of his talents and his acquisition of Lendl as a coach has helped make him a much more dominant player than he ever was. I still remember Lendl crushing his flat forehands for winners and deep punishing groundstrokes when I went to see him play at the Washington Star Tournament in D.C. back in the 80's.
