The final tennis 'Grand Slam' of the year gets under way shortly with the now usual British expectations of Andy Murray success.
Those who apparently know, believe that the US Open is Murray's best chance of Grand Slam success; let's wait and see. Quarter final should be the least expectation, semi-final should be achievable, but a place in the final or, even, overall victory, is a different matter. My money has to be on Djokovic whose form this year has been nothing short of remarkable. Nadal, the defending champion, will be looking for revenge for his Wimbledon defeat by the Serb, and Federer may still try to prove that he's a runner; Murray is some way behind these three in the stakes.
All we can do is watch the results and hope.
In the meantime, we also have Elena Baltacha, Heather Watson and Laura Robson in the ladies event - what price all three making it to the second round ? Or what price one of them ? Sadly, my money would probably be on none.
