Topic: one of the best

this years u.s. open was probably one of the most shocking of all of the past ones. melanie oudin on her cinderella winning streak, serena getting pretty much dejected from her match, and juan martin del potro winning against one of the best ever, roger federer. also, kim clijsters winning and caroline wozniacki coming within inches of winning. my personel favorite was when john mcenroe finally came out and took novak djokavic's taunts to the point where they played a few hilarious points. this u.s. open was very memorable

Re: one of the best

I totally agree tennisguy, it was an amazing tournament. I would add that all of the slams in 2009 were incredible - it was a great year for tennis.

Re: one of the best

probably the most revolutionary year. we saw federer create a legacy, but we also saw a changing of the guard in men's tennis. del potro proved that there will be more to look forward to after federer and nadal.

Yes, 2009 was stunning for tennis. So many great matches, so much history made. If 2010 is anything close then we are in for some great stuff.

Re: one of the best

It was a fantastic US Open. I doubt there was anyone who predicted those two final match ups!

Yes the whole year was certainly memorable. I remember after 2008 everyone going on about it being the best Wimbledon, the best year because of the rivalry between Federer and Nadal having reached some heady heights. And yet 2009 rarely had anything to do with the Nadal/Fed rivalry. Just shows how things can change!

Re: one of the best

Hopefully! Got my fingers crossed for it. I want to see Davydenko do well this year, he deserves it after his win at the ATP World Tour Finals. And of course Del Potro!....but I've made that quite obvious.

I wonder if they will get the ridiculous scheduling and corporate nonsense sorted out for this year for the US Open. I couldn't believe the farce that was the handling of Juan Martin del Potro's victory speech.

Re: one of the best

ya and i like del porto and everything, but there was one point in the u.s. open against roger where he didn't return a serve because he wasn't ready. i find that kind of odd...
