Eurosport expert Kim Clijsters says the US Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud is the “perfect scenario” as the winner will not only win their maiden Grand Slam title, but also become the new world No. 1. Five players had an opportunity to become the world No.
For several years, the changing of the guard in men’s tennis has long been discussed and it is now finally happening, according to Eurosport’s experts. Karen Khachanov, Casper Ruud, Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe made up the semi-finalists of the US Open, which guaranteed a new Grand Slam champion. Ad Six-time Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters believes it’s been “great” for tennis to see younger and lesser-known names go deep in the tournament at Flushing Meadows.
Serena Williams' career has been so astonishing that it could fuel umpteen movies. Here are a few of the most magical moments.
Rafael Nadal recovered from a nose injury to beat Fabio Fognini in the second round of the US Open after the “weirdest” accident gave the 22-time Grand Slam winner a “wake up call”, according to Mats Wilander. The Spaniard, who trailed after the first set, suffered a nose injury when an attempted backhand went wrong and his racquet bounced off the hard court, hit him in the face and left him bleeding. Ad He required a medical timeout in the fourth set to patch up the gash, and Eurosport expert Wilander claimed it was the “wake up call” he needed.
Eurosport expert Kim Clijsters says Coco Gauff is her favourite to win the US Open this year. Gauff burst onto the scene as a 15-year-old. She became the youngest player in Wimbledon history to qualify for the main draw, knocking out Venus Williams in the first round before making a run to the fourth round.
Eurosport tennis experts Kim Clijsters and Alex Corretja have defended Rafael Nadal from criticisms over the length of time of his service games. Over the years it has been pointed out that Nadal seems to take far longer to serve than most players, even with the serve clock now in action. Ad John McEnroe said earlier this year he believes Nadal «gets away with more» because he is such a great player, and he was cited by a reporter in Nadal’s post-match press conference after his first-round win over Rinky Hijikata.
Alex Corretja believes «everything starts now» for Emma Raducanu after her US Open exit while Kim Clijsters says she has «all the ingredients» to succeed again. Raducanu saw her US Open title defence ended in the first round as she was beaten in straight sets by Alize Cornet. Ad The 19-year-old has had a difficult 12 months since winning in New York and says she is now looking forward to a “clean slate”.
Kim Clijsters believes Serena Williams' first two shots in a rally are «the key» to beating Anett Kontaveit in the second round of the US Open. Williams, who is playing in what could be her final ever tournament as a professional, beat Danka Kovinic in straight sets in front of a boisterous crowd inside Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday night to set up a clash with the No. 2 seed.
