Author: Moniker
Men of the US Tennis Open are all working hard for the championship title. Naturally, most think Rafael Nadal is a shoe-in by the end of a grueling two weeks of the tournament, but anything could happen while playing on the hard courts, such as his knee giving out. Listed below are five contenders who also have a good chance of walking away as the 2010 US Tennis Open champion.
Juan Martin del Potro , ranked number 7 in the world and the 2009 US Open champion will vehemently defend his title. Despite recuperating from a wrist injury that made him have a lengthy absence from the tennis scene, his monster forehand is still a powerful force for all other players to contend with.
Roger Federer, whom Juan Martin del Potro beat at the 2009 US Open, is a five-time US Open champion. He’s definitely a contender, but his record this year is hard to ignore. He has been sent packing by Tomas Berdych and Robin Soderling in other tournaments.
Tomas Berdych is certain to make it well into the second week of the US Tennis Open . His near clean sweep of the top three seeds at Wimbledon has ranked him number 8 in the world. His enjoyment of the game is felt every time he hits the ball.
Robin Soderling is riding the wave of Stopping Federer and Nadal’s winning streak at Roland Garros. So far, Soderling hasn’t been passed the quarter-finals of the US Tennis Open, but most feel the wave from Wimbledon will carry him over that hump.
Finally, Andy Murray seems to have gotten over his slump and might not be the long-shot any more. The US Open Tennis Schedule is the place to see when all five men will be playing.
