Today, 9/11, Serena Williams and Samantha Stosur will play for the women's title (not before 4:30pm NY). It was supposed to be played yesterday, but due to schedulling problems because of the rain men's final was delayed for tomorrow, Monday, and women's for today, Sunday. It probably doesn't mean anything but I do think that it's better to remember 9/11 in what concerns about tennis with a american player on court (Serena) than with two european players (Rafa and Nole).
Everybody expected Serena to make the finals, but Sam's attendance is quite surprising.
Initially, of course. When Sam, one of my favourite female players, defeated Vera Zvonareva to make the semis I started believing in Sam's capacities to reach the last match in Flushing Meadows, and she really deserved to had played her semi against Kerber in Arthur Ashe. Anyway, she will play in Arthur Ashe today and it gonna be a great match.
About Serena, she's being just terrific. Didn't lost any set so far, defeated players like Ana Ivanovic, Victoria Azarenka, Caroline Wozniacki... Great to see her back on courts, I bet she takes the trophy in 3 sets.
About Caro, she'll have to wait till next year to win a Slam. She is the top-ranked since 2010, and in these 2 past years (8 Slams) she didn't win any. It starts to be worrying, if she can't win a Slam with Williams sisters and Kim Clijsters injured how can she win?
Last but not the least, I congratulate german female tennis this year. Andrea Petkovic, Julia Goerges, Sabine Lisicki, Angelique Kerber are probably the surprises of this season. Well, Petko isn't a surprise anymore and neither Sabine, but the brunette made quarters in 3 Slams this season (no one else made it) and the blonde is back from a terrible injury and made the semis in Wimbledon (was #62). Then, Julia did a great clay season and now Kerber made the semis in Flushing Meadows. Deutsch Tennis ist zu beglückwünschen!
