While Roddick will not repeat his Wimbledon success, the US Open results were still favorable to his rivals. As for the women, the US Open results finally knocked out the embattled women’s top seed, and some other big names.
The US Open tennis 2009 results were historic going into Saturday, due to the perfection of the top 16 male seeds. Not only were they all in the third round, they had all barely lost a set in their first two matches. But the 32-0 winning streak ended when fifth seed Andy Roddick took on John Isner.
In a four hour plus match, Roddick again lost a lengthy match at a Grand Slam – only this time in the US Open third round instead of the Wimbledon final. Isner pulled the first US Open tennis 2009 upset on the men’s bracket, winning 7-6, 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 7-6.
After Roddick put up such a fight at Wimbledon, the US Open was expected to continue Roddick’s newfound momentum, but he went down early at a Grand Slam again. Meanwhile, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray are still standing as expected.
US Open Tennis 2009 Results (day 6)
The US Open Tennis 2009 results from Saturday, September 5 had some major upsets, including top ranked Dinara Safina getting bounced from the women’s bracket. Add to that #29 Maria Sharapova losing and #3 Andy Roddick being eliminated on the men’s side and underdogs ruled Day 6 of the tournament.
First on the men’s side, Andy Roddick, who made it to the Wimbledon finals only to lose an epic five set match against Roger Federer, was expected to do some damage in the only Grand Slam he has won in his career. Instead he doesn’t make it into the fourth round, losing to John Isner in the fifth set tie breaker.
Roddick put himself in a major hole as he dropped the first two sets 7 – 6; 6 – 3. He did make an impressive comeback as he forced a fifth set by winning the third and fourth sets 6 – 3; 7 – 5. But he didn’t have enough to overcome Isner and he’ll chalk up another year without a Grand Slam title. His one and only Grand Slam title came in the US Open in 2003.
