Japanese Maple
Semi-Pro
I know this comes up every year, but I think it is a disgrace to the players and the fans to have the men play best of five set matches after two grueling weeks on Saturday and Sunday!
How good of a final would we have if Federer and Djokovic were playing in the final after yesterdays exhausting 5 set epics? Your body needs time to recover and consecutive days of playing at the end of the tournament just isn't enough time to do so! I believe this is why we saw two blowout finals for Sampras against Hewett and Safin-Pete at his advanced age needed a day to recover. As a fan you invest all this time watching the Open over two weeks than get treated to a pathetic final all because of the all mighty dollar! No other Grand Slam sells their soul to advertisers like the US Open!
The Usta is a money grubbing organization who has nothing to show for all the money they rake in at the Open-US player development is a joke! The speed and physicality of the mens game has changed and they definitely need a days rest between the semi's and final.
I hope that Nadal and Fed play 5 set matches in the semis and Nadal beats Fed 6-2, 6-3, 6-0 in the final. Then and only then will the USTA get off their high horse and make the necessary change and give the players, fans, and the game the respect it deserves and stop being so arrogant!
