Great women’s final yesterday at the US Open. You had to feel Serena Williams was going to win, but Azarenka was not going down without one heck of a fight! Kudos to Vika! Serena prevailed 7 – 5, 6 – 7, 6 – 1. That makes it number 5 for Serena Williams as far as US Open titles (hey, she has the same number as Roger Federer!) as well as her 16th Grand Slam title. It was the longest match for the women’s final since 1980. Hated to see Azarenka lose, she fought back over and over but in the end, Serena is just so tough and so good! After the match, Vika was spent, had her head in a towel with tears streaming down her face. Serena was dancing and so happy…that new coach and apartment in Paris seem to really agree with her! Congrats!
Men’s final will air today at 5:00 pm EST. Nadal vs. Djokovic. Just like the women’s final, it will feature #1 vs. #2. Hard to pick a winner…most are going with Nadal but I think Djokovic really wants to stay at #1. One thing is for sure, it is likely to last for hours and they will both pound the you know what out of the tennis ball.
In later NFL action from Sunday…San Francisco defeated Green Bay, 34 – 28. I do believe those 49ers are for real and looking to return to the Super Bowl. We shall see…it is all just getting started. Beautiful views in the bay area for those watching that game. In the first SNF game, the Cowboys finally defended their home turf against the boys from New York, Eli Manning and company, winning 36 – 31. I do believe those six (yes, that would be SIX) turnovers by the Giants played a roll in that win.
New College Football AP Poll is out: 1 Alabama (57), 2 Oregon (1), 3 Clemson(1) , 4 Ohio State (1), 5 Stanford (what, was their season debut under appreciated? no first place votes for them as well?), 6 Texas A&M (gonna be a good one this weekend with Alabama coming to town!), 7 Louisville (can you say QB Teddy Bridgewater!), 8 LSU, 9 UGA (courtesy of that big win over South Carolina), 10 FSU.
OK guys…over and out for now. By the way, the season finale of Unforgettable with Poppy Montgomery was really good!
