And the winner is!!!
Winning the Family Circle Cup
Trying to win the Family Circle Cup Championship was not an easy task. Madison Keys and Angelique Kerber battled it out for three sets. Both players were going for their first championship of 2015, first clay court title, and first American title. The first set went to Kerber 6-2 with Keys producing lots of unforced errors. After a coaching visit in the second set Keys came back from a 4-1 deficit to a 4-6 second set win. The third set went back and forth with Keys seeming close to victory but the in the end Kerber forcing errors and making some nice winners taking it 7-5 in the third set. Kerber is ranked 14 on the WTA and should move up at least one or two spots after the victory. Madison Keys was ranked 17 on the WTA.
The new rankings are out and Angelique Kerber stayed at 14 with 2865, while Lucie Safarova holds 13 with 2870 and Karolina Pliskova 12 with 2875. Those are some very narrow margins!
What’s wrong with Novak Djokovic’s game???
So do you Know what's wrong?
Well as far as I can see there is nothing significantly wrong with his game that I have seen lately. He is serving better than ever and as far as return of serve, one of the top three. At times it's almost annoying to see him attempt to retrieve a ball that you are sure he can not make and then he makes it into the other court for a point. He slides on a hard court as if it were clay and stretches into unbelieveable positions to hit the ball back to turn defense into offense. What do you have to do to beat this guy? I don't know and neither do most of the other ATP players. He does have bad days like everyone else but you better be playing at the top of your game even then.
Congratulations to Novak Djokovic winning the ATP World Tour Finals for three straight years and ending the year as number one again!
Simon fights valiantly vs Federer
In a hard fought battle Gilles Simon of France could not withstand the expertise of Roger Federer!
The match was very close and at times it looked like Simon would come out on top but Roger Federer was relentless. Federer's use of well placed serves, slices, drop shots and his usual backhand was too much for Simon as he went down in two tiebreakers 7-6, 7-6.
Beijing is having some terrific matches
