So Far We've Seen The #3 Ranked Seed Djokovic Eliminated in a PISS POOR Match Against Marrot Safin (Or However His 1st Name is Spelled). Both Didn't Really Gain Any Momentum And Safin Was Just Making it Hard For Djokovic Who is One Of The Best Servers in The World Today, Even Better Than Federer Or Nadal. Well He Definitely Wasn't Showing His Skill Yesterday, But Against Safin i Think His Whole Style is a Bit Redundant, Since They're Both Similar With Safin Having a Tremendous Return Advantage And Well... Just More Power.
Very Disappointing Match But Safin is Always One To Surprise, He's Been in The Top 10 Now He's Barely in The Top 100, And at 28 u Think He Can Pull it Off?
But The Game That Caught My Eye Was Between The Women's #1 Seed Ana ivanovic And Natalie Dechy. i Was Literally On The Edge Of My Seat Lmao And Womens Tennis Usually Sucks Balls (Lol Tennis Balls). in The 2nd Set Dechy Had TWO Match Points She Couldn't Capitalise On Because ivanovic Just Wasn't Letting Her Win. Both Played an Excellent Game That Lasted Just Over 3 Hours, Dechy Showed She Definitely Wasn't 'Yesterday's News'.
Like Djokovic vs Safin, we Had Two Powerful Players Against Each Other, ivanovic's Service And Forehand Were incredible, if i Remember Correctly She Scored 14 Aces in The Match. What's Even More incredible Was For The Entire Match, Dechy Was Doing a Great Job On Returning These Monsterous Shots, Turning Defense into Attack And Keeping Scores Even Till The Match Ended Pretty Much.
in The Last Set They Had 5 Games Each (in The Aforementioned Set) And ivanovic Just Couldn't Put Her Away (Because at This Point She'd Need To Be 2 Games Ahead To Win) And That Wasn't Happening. Every Game ivanovic Took, Dechy Took One Back! ivanovic Finally Won By 10 Games To 8 And i Can Definitely Understand Why Dechy Was in Tears at The End, Playing So Great (And Having 2 Match Points) But Still Losing (Barely).
i Really Do Have High Hopes For ivanovic Though, She's Only 20 And Packs Great Power And Consistency When it Comes To The Rallys. i Don't Think She'll Win Wimbledon This Year (Who Knows?) But in a Couple Of Years When Her Style is More Defined, She Could Well Become a Legend. Maybe Not Though, But if She Keeps On This Path She Won't Be Forgotten Fast Like Maria Sharapova Whom The Hype Has Long Died Over.
Nadal To Win!
