US OPEN 2005

Seems like we got some tennis action coming soon as US Open 2005 starts at Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York on Monday, 29th August 2005. The seedings are predictably headed by Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova. Am surprised that Nadal is seeded second. Also surprised that Venus and Serena are ranked quite low.

French Open champion Rafael Nadal is the number two seed on the men's side, followed by Australia's Lleyton Hewitt and America's Andy Roddick.

These are mens and womens singles draws.

Hewitt, the No.3 seed, is in Federer's half of the draw. The South Australian needs to overcome the Swiss champion in the semi-finals to reach his third US Open final in four years.

Your predictions, favorite players and opinions plz.

Did you say mine ? Well, Roger Federer for Mens Singles title.
Womens ? Don't you know already ?. Sania Mirza of India of course.

First Round Matches

Defending Champion Kuznetsova crashes out
The fifth seed made countless unforced errors as she went down 6-3 6-2 to compatriot and world number 97 Ekaterina Bychkova.

Kuznetsova becomes the first US Open champion to lose in the first round since the Open era began in 1968.

Nadal makes confident start in NY
French Open champion and second seed Rafael Nadal made a confident start to his US Open campaign with a straight-sets win over Bobby Reynolds.
The 19-year-old, who has won nine tournaments already this year, broke Reynolds early in the first two sets.

A stunning display of scrambling helped him to the decisive break in game seven of the third, and he closed out the match 6-3 6-3 6-4.

The Spaniard will face George Bastl or Scoville Jenkins next.

Rusty Serena reaches second round
Twice former champion Serena Williams opened her US Open campaign with a 6-1 6-3 defeat of Yung-Jan Chan.

Safin misses US Open with injury
This guy could have been very dangerous on his day.

Clijsters too is into the 2nd round.

Sania reaches second round.
