Hey Tennis Friends!
Today was USTA Member Appreciation Day! Did you remember to attend?
CORRECTION: Juan Monaco is not from Spain, as I said in my voiceover. He is actually from Argentina!
As it turns out, Nadia Petrova turned around her “bad tennis day”, and made a three set match out of it! I’m happy for the fans that stayed, as the first set was dismal. I left the match when Maria Kirilenko was up 6-1, 3-0 in the second.
The results for the matches that I featured are:
Angelique Kerber d. Christina McHale 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(4)
Mariusz Fyrstenberg / Marcin Matkowski
d. Matthew Ebden / Ryan Harrison 6-4, 6-7(5)
Maria Kirilenko d. Nadia Petrova 6-1, 5-7, 6-2
Leander Paes / Radek Stepanek
d. Juan Monaco / Kei Nishikori 7-6(5), 6-4

Thank you Marcus. As usual, very informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work!
Very exciting men’s doubles, especially when the team in foreground returned a “put away” shot. They had the experience/skill to stay in the back court after lobbing it. Thanks for bringing the BNP Paribas to us who could not attend.
That was just great/lucky anticipation by Nishikori!
Thanks Lana! Workin’ hard 🙂
