the US Open and the tennis season are over and I'm full of remorse
Dave Koehler covering tennis for to it. sports
sunday was the women's final number one Serena Williams
four-time previous champion in this event verses number two
Victoria Azarenka what are the strongest players in the world today going for
first US Open
and I'm was a very interesting match
that Stadium Arthur escort is terrible a couple years ago water bubbled up from
the surface from
a through the service from below there's always the swirling wind cuz it's a
giant
unfriendly dome and that match Sunday was we invite crazy Serena skirt was
blowing up
so much that it actually cost a double-fault once and messed up many
over serves
she was flippin out she has so many balls off balance
I thought three was in for a blowout a break down a classic sorry to break them
she won the first set
and should've won the second said she was two points away from the
championship
she had a couple rackets massey incidents that she couldn't close out
that second set went to a third set
serena is a time bomb I didn't think she was gonna make it much actually crushed
Azarenka net third set to win her fifth US Open and I believe 17th Grand Slam
tournament
overall which is a great number accepts steffi graf is kinda like double that in
three days already 31
so she's not gonna catch but now I'm slipping into what Americans
the all they count is championships and rings in Grand Slam story is really
Dom Serena won her first US Open back in 1999 I watch that
I think I actually went to that US Open and here we are fourteen years later
it's comforting in a world where so much changes that you can have some sports
stars maybe you could be like Brett farber JC care Serena Williams whose
careers last a long time
and you can watch them year after year in your life changes but you're still
watching them win championships
so serena is a a mental case but she has a good Twitter account as he's a great
tennis player and I root for her
so the men's tournament men's final Monday night
for the previous five years the
with Sunday night men's final was right down push to Monday so this year the
geniuses decided
to just schedule it for Monday but thats actually the logical
they got lucky it didn't rain sunday or monday number one Novak Djokovic
facing Rafael McDole a great matchup anticipating
a highly anticipated I was in a buzz for 24 hours leading up to this thing
and it kinda love led up to it didn't go five sets but there were some great
points some great games a lot of drama
but not always stronger this whole tournament and stronger in the final
taking out choke a ***
in four sets I joke image be almost lost in the semifinal to like number nine war
in Kosovo it he was definitely not the favorite coming into this in my opinion
even though he was number one ranked and sure enough the dollar is at the top of
his game
absolutely he pretty much handled choke a ***
without too much too much difficulty in this
in this men's final the dollar's been trying
lately to extend his career by shortening the points being more been
attacking player
and you kinda saw that in this final joke a *** is a great defender
at that level ever was a great defender rules a great attacker
but he couldn't handle the the barrage of power from the DOL
a in in this men's final was also when the affair but
those guys hit the ball so hard I don't think the wind even affected
and we got refound the DOL winning the US Open
championship here in 20 13
and that concludes the important ornaments for 2013
this is where I go back into hibernation onto it. sports
