So the warm-up to the US Open is underway AS WE SPEAK, and it's now into the 3rd round with some pleasing 2nd round results. Elena Demetieiva, probably one of the most underrated and unfortunate players to not have won a slam, seems to be doing well after a calf injury and won her match against Katherina Bondarenko 7-6(4); 6-7(5); 6-4 to advance to the next round.
Other results on the women's side:
Nadia Petrova bt Bethanie Mattek Sands 6-3; 6-2
Flavia Penetta bt Olga Govortsova 6-3; 6-2
Dinara Safina bt Daniela Hantuchova 7-6(4); 7-6(2)
Marion Bartoli bt Anastasia Rodionova 6-3; 6-1
Caroline Wozniacki bt Dominika Cibulkova 6-4; 6-1
On the mens side it was a closer affair than some of the womens' matches. One of my faves Marcos "I have the best smile ever" Baghdatis made it through the second round to beat Igor Andreev of Russia 6-2; 6-4, and he'll now play Juan Ignacio Chela from Argentina.
Other mens' singles results from the 3rd round:
Thiemo de Bakker bt Florian Mayer 6-7; 6-1; 7-5
Viktor Troicki bt Alexander Dolgopolov 6-7; 7-6; 6-2
Radek Stepanek bt Victor Hanescu 7-6; 6-7; 6-4
Denis Istomin bt Luka "sounds like fake name" Lacko 6-2; 2-6; 6-3
And those are the results. On a funner note, an event was held on last night in New York where Federer, Nadal, Sharapova and Azarenka played with some young tennis hopefuls in a little event. So nice to see tennis players have fun on the court for a change, they always seem SOOO serious! But I guess there is a lot of moola and reputation at stake.
