lichtie23 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 All kicks off today at Flushing Meadows. No Rafa in the men's draw so Novak Djokovic will be favourite. Britains Andy Murray is seeded 8 and starts his campaign today against Robin Haase. Serena will always be the one to beat in the Woman's draw tho I fancy Agnieszka Radwanska to give her a decent challenge. Players in action today include Sharapova, Venus, Wawrinka, Halep and Djokovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBud Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Murray's draw is ridiculously tough. He'll be doing well to reach the quarters. I'd love him to prove me wrong but I just can't see it considering he hasn't won a tournament or beaten a top 10 player since Wimbledon 2013.

perthsaint1977 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Regarding Andy we need to remember form is temporary. The last few matches he played he shown he nearly back to his best. Brave person to write him off. To be honest, think the draw ideal for him. He will need to be at it from the off rather than play three easy games before gets proper challenge. Don't know why but got sneaky feeling he will win it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booitsme7 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Murray has played Haase 3 times winning twice. The first match against each other Murray lost but that was back in 2008. Murray won the 2nd match from 2 sets down at the US Open back in 2011 in round 2. The 3rd match was a straight sets win for Murray in the opening round of the Australian Open in 2013. For Today's match I am expecting a tough opening set and if Murray wins it, I can only see him going on to complete a straight sets win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
