USOpen Draws Announced

I am so excited about the coming week. It is tennis time in the big-0-city. One of the most exciting tournaments in the world, the US Open starts Monday in Queens, New York. You can take a look at the just-released draws on the USopen.org site. That site has several features worth taking a look at. It will probably have the most up-to-date scores and results throughout the coming fortnight. You have to like Andy Roddick and Rafael Nadal's draws. There appear to be few "floaters" that could be dangerous in their sections. Federer's draw could be tricky. You never know what you will see with Melzer, his possible 2nd round opponent. Beyond that Federer should be happy, although Juan Carlos Fererro I feel is very dangerous. He is a Grand Slam Champion and he made the final here a couple of years ago and has been looking good in recent months. The toughest portion of the draw is Marat Safin's with-out-a-doubt. The quarter is loaded with names like, Ancic, Monfils, Henman, Philippoussis, Dent and Hewitt. With only 1 of those names coming from that section, it is going to be a battle. I cannot wait. The majority of the coverage will be done by the USA network. In the past they did it really well, I recommend you check it out.
