US Open update

Roger Federer breezed to his 12th Grand Slam bouncing Djokovic in straights. Similar to the Roddick match, Federer was pushed but passed all tests with flying colors. I thought Djokovic had a decent shot at getting him this time because Federer played some of his worst tennis in a long while against Davydenko in the semis. Davydenko had his chances and couldn't convert and neither could Djokovoc. The Federer train rolls on.

Justine Henin defeated both Williams sisters and breezed to her latest Grand Slam taking out Kuznetsova in straights. (Serena lost in the quarters but couldn't bring herself to acknowledge that she lost to a superior opponent, what a typical suburban American brat!) Sherapova stumbled early on, Kim Clijsters retired early and unless the Williams sisters feel like truly dedicating themselves again, I'd say Henin has a decent shot at a Grand Slam next year.
