The final Grand Slam of the year starts soon Official website, with schedule of play updated as and when
Britains Andy Murray has been seeded 2nd. I would love to see him go one better and win it after losing in last years final to Roger Federer but expect the Swiss or (a fit) Rafael Nadal to win it

Nadal has been struggling in the hard court so far.

I don't think Murray quite has it. Fed Ex to deliver again. Not sure where Nadal's fitness is. I expect an extended winter for him
Del Potro and A-Rod to feature as well

At least it means Murray avoids Federer and Nadal until the final.
At number 3 seed, Murray has been facing Federer in the semis.
Now, if he plays to the level he has recently, he shouldn't face any real threat until the final.
However, that's easy for me to say... |

Federer was on exceptional form in Cincinnati and will be hard to beat if he carries it over to Flushing Meadows...
Andy has recently played two long hard Masters 1000 series events, going all the way in one and going deep into the other... Hope he's been resting well cause these three to five set'ers take a lot out of you over two weeks and with the likes of Nadal, Djokovic, Del Potro, Roddick and Feds around its gonna be one tough ask to even match his progress from last year...
Good luck Andy, has as good a chance as the rest of em and has beaten them all at least once in his career... This is deffo his favourite playing surface so I'm fully expecting him to cruise through the first week and get to at least the semi's when the business end of the tournament really begins!!

Back on topic, I can't see anyone but Serena winning it on the women's side. I do not suppose Safina will actually do anything to justify her No1 ranking
Oh, and Djokovic will end up caving in as usual

Andy Murray plays against Gulbis tonight (at 01:30  !). Should be a comfortable win for him
Tempted to stay up for it but will probably regret it
Murray has a really tough route to the final too

Yeah it's a night match and he's on after someone else so about 8.30pm their time. Hopefully some of his other matches will be earlier for him and us
I would record it and watch it after work but avoiding the result and reports is impossible considering I'm online all day and 'Murray Mania'

I give Murray a big chance of winning this. I make Fed the favourite but would not be suprised if Murray pulls off his first Grand Slam victory.
