On her way to a gruelling 4th round win over Maria Sharapova.

 

 

Serena Williams will play Caroline Wozniacki in the US Open tennis final this Sunday. Serena is a 5 times winner of the event while Caroline’s only previous Grand Slam final appearance ended in defeat at the 2009 US Open.

 

I must admit that I thought Caroline’s best tennis was behind her and that the year and a bit spent as World No.1 would be her lasting, yet hollow, greatest achievement. However, since being dumped by Rory McIlroy her game seems to have improved dramatically and her slip from the World Top 10 now looks like only a temporary setback.

 

Serena is a powerhouse and has always had the measure of Caroline whose defensive skills, while tactically brilliant, are not usually enough against a big hitter in top form. This could be massive for Caroline – perhaps even career defining; but does she have the game to beat the great Serena Williams?

I would like Caroline Wozniacki to win but I think Serena Williams is more likely to.

Caroline will definitely return to the top 10 regardless of result when the next set of rankings is announced.

The USTA announced that five-time US Open champion Roger Federer and former world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki have received the third annual US Open Sportsmanship Awards, presented to the male and female professional tennis players who best demonstrate excellence in sportsmanship throughout the US Open Series and the US Open. The award will be presented to them during the US Open by USTA Sportsmanship Selection Committee Chairman Todd Martin.

 

With Roger and Caroline, it is incredible to see that two of tennis greatest competitors also share similar positive sportsmanship qualities even in the heat of battle, said USTA Chairman, CEO and President Dave Haggerty. Their sportsmanship and class both on and off the court make Roger and Caroline very deserving of this years US Open Sportsmanship Awards.
