Two years in a row

It may not have been the most exciting match everyone was hoping for, but it was still a joy to watch. Kim Clijsters played against seventh seed Vera Zvonareva from Russia in what everyone was hoping would be a cracker.
The first four games started off well enough with some clean middle of the racket ball striking, but Kim broke Vera at 2-2 in the first set, and it was all down hill from there. She ended up winning the match 6-2; 6-1 as a distraught Zvonareva put on a brave face. You gotta feel sorry for her, she played an awesome tournament without dropping a set and then cracks at the last hurdle. But she'll get a slam one day I think.
It was the Men's semi-final yesterday too, and Nadal put away Youzhny in three sets to reach his first US Open final. But the big match of the day was Federer VS Djokovic. It was an up and down match as Roger took the first set 7-5, played like a peanut in the second and lost 1-6, managed to win third at 7-5 again, then play badly again in the fourth to lose 2-6, and then in the final set Djokovic turned on the consistency, denied Federer two match points at 5-4, and Novak ended up winning 7-5 in the fifth. WHAT. A. MATCH.
So it's Nadal VS Djokovic tonight. Should be good. My money's on Nadal.
Adios.
