The first two rounds are the place where we discover the very best that tennis has to offer… and bring out the very worst for those who fail to deliver on expectation. With... Read More

This time of year is a whirlwind of activity for tennis, as the Orwellian odyssey in Paris and London yields two Grand Slam champions in a month’s time.

It was a day when the brackets started tumbling at Flushing Meadows. With the men’s and women’s singles tournaments joined by the first set of first-round matches in men’s doubles there were even more opportunities to see seeded players falling. There were plenty of tight matches, five-set thrillers, and both upsets and near-upsets at every level. Read More

But we’ve got a little more insight into how the last Grand Slam of the 2010 tennis season might play out now that the full brackets are revealed. So before play begins tomorrow it is probably a good idea to look one last time at the focal points... Read More

With the USTA releasing the 32 seeds for the men’s draw of the last Grand Slam tournament of the 2010 season, it is time to discuss just who might emerge victorious at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York when the final is played on Sunday 12 September.
