The US Open 2017 - Grand Slam Tennis - Official Site by IBM

in #usopen7 years ago


By almost any measure, Saturday’s women’s final came against all the odds. The fact that a player, any player, could reach a major final after surgery is incredible. The fact that both players were in the final Slam of the year after coming off injuries is almost unfathomable. You would call it impossible. Then it happened.

Two-time US Open quad champion and defending doubles champion David Wagner is back at the Open

Fourth-seeded Amanda Anisimova and unseeded Cori ‘Coco’ Gauff both advanced to the US Open final in straight sets, making it three straight Grand Slams at which two American girls have contested the juniors’ final.

As Stephens raised the trophy aloft on Saturday in Arthur Ashe Stadium, having scored an hour-long 6-3, 6-0 win over her compatriot and longtime friend Keys, it felt as if it was happening at the right time

For the first time since 2001 the top two seeds will meet in the US Open boys' singles final on Sunday.

Sloane Stephens, unseeded and ranked 83rd in the world, won her first major title, defeating her friend and fellow American, 15th-seeded Madison Keys, in straight sets.

Francesca Di Lorenzo completed an epic comeback to capture the women's Collegiate Invitational title.

Martina Hingis and Jamie Murray captured the 2017 US Open mixed doubles title after defeating Michael Venus and Hao-Ching Chan, 6-1, 4-6, [10-8].

Amazingly, Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens have only played once, at Miami in 2015.They have practiced a fair amount, and they seem to like each other, but once they walk on court for the final of the US Open, they will lock in.

Fue un logro profesional para Kevin Anderson. Tenía unos 45 minutos para disfrutar.



No. 28 Kevin Anderson became the longest shot ever to reach the US Open men’s singles final Friday afternoon, defeating Pablo Carreno Busta to advance to the title match. Then he sat back and watched Rafael Nadal play perhaps the best three sets of hard-court tennis the two-time US Open champion has ever produced.

On Sunday afternoon, Rafael Nadal and Kevin Anderson will contest the US Open men’s final on a worldwide stage. In New York City, America’s melting pot, two players from two continents will do battle in front of a global audience.

The top seed steamrolled past the 6-foot-6 Argentine, upping his game once more this fortnight to reach his fourth US Open final, 4-6, 6-0, 6-3, 6-2, on Friday evening in Arthur Ashe Stadium.



Three Dutch ladies advanced to the semifinals of the women's wheelchair singles tournament, alongside two Brits on the men's side.

The US Open may have more than just one all-American female final this year.
