DJOCKOVIC WON IN 4 SETS

Serb Novac Djockovic beat Swiss player and tennis legend Roger Federrer by 3 sets to 1 all 4 sets were close but the three that Djockovic did win were won by 6 games to 4 Djockovic could never get that second break. But the second  won by federrer took Roger a lot longer to break in as he won by 7 games to 5

In a raucous night session on Arthur Ashe Stadium, after the start of play was delayed by more than three hours because of rain, Federer looked to have a real chance in the third set.

However Djokovic broke the Federer serve six times and saved 19 of 23 break points as he battled his way to a 27th win in 28 Grand Slam matches this year.

Djockovic tis now joint 5^th on the list of most grand slams ever

That was before Djockovic broke in the third to win it by 6 games to 3 and the final Djockovic set went to a tie break but a tie |break he was able to control to win it comfortably.

SERENA BEATS SISTER

The battle of the American Williams Sisters a match that we had not seen in a while Serena won the first set with a double break to win the first set. Venus then came back to win the second set with a double break. The third set was where the real match began and ended as Serena took it with a break to show why she is still the best tennis player in the world.

VINCI WINS THRILLER

In the battle of the unseeded players Italian Roberta Vinci won in 3 sets over French woman Mladenovic in 3 sets each set was close but winning the first and third set by 6 games to 3 was enough to reach the semis. In the second Mladenovic won the set in another close one by 7 games to 5 this match could have went either way.

Czech player Petra Kvitova won 2 hard sets against British Player Joanna Konte but this is probably the furthest a British player has went in a long time. It took a long time for Kvitova to break in the first set but when she did it won her the set. In the second Kvitova had more control as she was able to break a lot earlier.

Italian tennis player Pennetta beat Sam Stoser in 2 very hard sets and this is a win that is definitely going to help her world rankings going forward.

Bulgarian Victotria Azerenka beat unseeded Lepchenko from the US the first set looked a lot easier for her than the second and she looks ready for anybody at this stage. There is sometimes little that can be learned against an unseeded opponent

Romanian Samona Halep beat German  Savine Lisicki in 3 sets the first set was an absolute epic where  Laisicki won an epic tie break by 8 points to 6. The second was won by Halep but it was also very close. In the third Halep took control to win the third with 2 breaks of serve. With a match like this under her belt she does look like a potential champion.
