Sports..U.S. Open, & Ready for the Challenge

Today was a good day for tennis..

It started out with top-seeded Ana Ivanovic lost in one of the biggest upsets in tennis history today, stunned by 188th-ranked Julie Coin 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in the second round of the U.S. Open.

Venus Williams won her match in blowout fashion against Rossana De Los Rios in less than an hour to reach the third round. The seventh-seeded Williams won on her fifth match point, needing only 59 minutes to advance.

James Blake also had an action packed match until his opponent withdrew from the match due to rumored back problems..

More action is expected tonight from powerhouse Serena Williams, she is currently leading her match 6-1, with one to go..

Sad thing is, if everything goes as planned the two Williams sisters will meet in the quarter-final..meaning only one can make it to the end..

Comments and concerns have been made more frequently about the tendency for them to be matched against each other in early rounds. Officials say that round matches are computer generated and are completely random. I can't say really believe that. It's just like China gymnastics team, you know that they were underage but you just can't prove it.
Either way, it looks like it's going to be a great U.S. Tennis Open.
UPDATE: By time I posted this Serena had finshed her job by winning her match in two sets, 6-1. 6-1, under-cutting her sister by one minute, fininshing her the match in 58 minutes. Get em'
