NEW YORK, Sporting Alert – Scores and results from 2016 U.S. Open Men’s and Women’s Singles Round 1 matches on Tuesday’s day 2 in New York.

Leading the list of winners in the morning session on the second day of competition were Simona Halep and Kei Nishikori, who advanced to the second round of the tournament, but there was a big shock on the women’s side, as the struggles of Ana Ivanovic extended this year after the No. 29 seeded Serbian was dumped in round one.

In women’s singles action, the fifth-seeded Halep easily put away Kirsten Flipkens to signal her intentions of winning the final grand slam of the year.

The Romanian won 11 straight games on her way to a comfortable 6-0 6-2 victory over Flipkens of Belgium who looked very relieved when winning her first game during the second set after she found herself trailing 5-0 again on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court.

American sixth-seeded Venus Williams slipped past Ukraine’s Kateryna Kozlova 6-2 5-7 6-4 in her first round contest.

According to ESPN Stats & Info., Williams, the 2000 and 2001 champion, was winning her 77th match at the U.S. Open and the American improved to 18-0 in the first round.

In men’s singles contest, the sixth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan battled out a 6-1 6-1 3-6 6-3 win over Germany’s Benjamin Becker to secure his place into the 2016 U.S. Open second round.

Bulgaria’s 22nd seed Grigor Dimitrov beat Inigo Cervantes of Spain 6-2 6-4 7-6(7) to advance as well, so too did the tournament’s 27th seed Alexander Zverev of Germany who picked up a 3-6 6-1 6-4 7-6(4) victory against his countryman Daniel Brands.

Ivanovic led the way among those exiting the 2016 U.S. Open early after she was beaten 7-6(4) 6-1 by Czech Republic’s Denisa Allertova.

Among the top seeds hitting the court on the second day of the tournament are six-time champion Serena Williams of the USA, as well as Great Britain’s Andy Murray.

Williams, who last won the US Open in 2014, will start the hunt for a seventh title on Tuesday when she takes on Ekaterina Makarova of Russia in her first round game at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The American will face Makarova during the evening session, which starts at 7 pm ET, and this clash is expected to be a tough one for the world number one, but she says she is ready.

Makarova is currently not among the high rankers, but was a top 10 player last year, so Williams, who knows what it feels like to lose to the Russian, is anticipating a battle.

“I’m OK with it,” the American top seed said. “I try to look at it like we always have tough matches.

“I played her I think in the semis before. I know she’s a good player. I’ve just got to do the best I can.”

She also added: “At this point, I’m taking it a day at a time. (But) I think I just am more relaxed, for sure.”

Meanwhile, world number two Andy Murray will take on Lukas Rosol from the Czech Republic in his first round contest.

The 2012 champion has been in good form this year and will seek to add the 2016 US Open title to the Wimbledon and Olympic Games crowns he lifted earlier this summer.

Like Williams, Murray is expected a difficult opener at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday.

The British No. 1 said: “He’s a tough, tough opponent.

“Big, strong guy, goes for his shots; takes a lot of risks.”

Wimbledon 2016 Day 13 Men’s Final Result

By:Brittney Berreth | Staff Writer Published on: July 10, 2016 6:36 pm Leave a Comment

WIMBLEDON, Sporting Alert – Second ranked Andy Murray beat Canadian Milos Raonic in straight-sets on Centre Court on Sunday to claim his second Wimbledon title.

The British star dominated contest 6-4 7-6(3) 7-6(2) on his way to adding to the first Wimbledon title he won in 2013.

Sunday’s win handed Murray his third grand slam crown in his 11th final.

“Last time (in 2013) I was so relieved… there was so much stress and pressure, I didn’t really get a chance to enjoy it as much,” said Murray.

“I’ll make sure I enjoy this one for sure.”

The 29-year-old finally picked up a grand slam title this campaign, after in this year’s Australian and French Open finals to world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.

“I’ve had some great moments but also some tough losses and this win feels extra special because of the tough losses,” Murray said.

“I’m proud to get my hands on the trophy again,” he told reporters on Sunday.

After the defeat in Sunday’s final, Milos Raonic vowed that nothing will get in his way of winning a grand slam.

“This one will sting a bit,” he said.

“I’m going to work on everything. I’m not going to leave any stone unturned.

“I’m going to try to get myself back in this position, try to be better in this position.”

“I’m going to try to get fitter, stronger. I’m going to try to improve my return game, improve my serve. I can improve there. Improve my efficiency coming forward.

“There’s not one thing I’m not going to try to improve.”

Raonic had defeated No. 3 Roger Federer in the semi-finals to book his place in Sunday’s trophy battle.

WIMBLEDON, Sporting Alert – No. 2 Andy Murray and No. 6 Milos Raonic will battle for the men’s singles title at Wimbledon 2016 on Center Court on Sunday.

Watch Live Streaming on ESPN3/WatchESPN. Live online updates at www.wimbledon.com

Murray enters the contest as the favourite to win the title, but Raonic will be hoping to extend his form to one more game, as he seeks to win his first Grand Slam crown.

Canada’s Raonic beat Roger Federer in five sets on Friday to secure his place in the trophy game and he’s looking forward to facing off with Murray again.

“We played in the finals of Queens a few weeks ago and I told him I hope to get a rematch in a few Sundays,” the sixth seeded Canadian said.

“Well, the disappointment I’ve sort of put behind me, at least I’ve tried to. I feel like I’m playing better tennis now.

“Now I have an even bigger toolset to face that challenge.

“Andy is one of the premier workaholics. He tries to get you doing a lot of different things. He’ll try to throw you off, give you some slower balls, some harder balls, all these kinds of things.

“I guess my goal is to keep him away from that, play it on my terms, be aggressive, not hesitate.”

Meanwhile, Murray, who defeated No. 10 Tomas Berdych 6-3 6-3 6-3 in the second semi-final on Friday, says it will be extra special to walk out on Centre Court as a British player to feature in the final on Sunday.

“Wimbledon for a lot of the players, but for British players growing up, this is the biggest competition,” Murray said.

“To get to play in front of a home crowd in a Grand Slam final is very, very rare. There’s not many players that get the opportunity to do that.

“Yeah, this one always feels a little bit more special.”

Murray, the 2013 champion, will be hoping to win his second Wimbledon title.

UPDATED: Wimbledon 2016 Men’s Semi-Finals Results

By:Brittney Berreth | Staff Writer Published on: July 8, 2016 12:01 pm Leave a Comment

LONDON, Sporting Alert – Semi-final results from men’s singles at Wimbledon 2016 on Day 12, Friday, July 8.

In the first semi-finals, No. 3 Roger Federer was beaten 6-3 6-7(3) 4-6 7-5 6-3 by No. 6 Milos Raonic in a battling contest on Centre Court.

In the day’s second semi-final on the same court, British number one and tournament second seed Andy Murray defeated Tomas Berdych in straight sets to punch his ticket to final as well.

FIRST SEMIS IN FIVE

Friday’s five-set defeat was Federer’s first loss in 11 trips in Wimbledon semi-finals, as he was unable to outlast the Canadian in the closing sets.

Raonic took the first set, but the Switzerland veteran rallied to take a 2-1 lead heading into a decisive fifth.

However, the seven-time champion was unable to see off the match – losing the last two sets, including the fourth, where Raonic battled back to clinch a 7-5 win.

The defeat ended Federer’s quest to win an eighth Wimbledon title.

“It’s my dream to win an 8th title here. But it’s not the only reason I play tennis,” said Federer.

Federer, who was playing in his 18th championships, last won the Wimbledon title in 2012. He was runner-up in 2014 and 2015.

Meanwhile, Murray, the 2013 champion beat Czech 10th seed Tomas Berdych in straight sets to reach the final and he will start as the favourite.

Murray, who became the tournament favourite the moment defending champion and world number one Novak Djokovic was beaten by Sam Querrey in the early rounds, secured a 6-3 6-3 6-3 victory on Friday to reach his third Wimbledon final.

Wimbledon 2016 final will be on Sunday.

Wimbledon 2016 Men’s Semi-final Order of Play: Day 12

By:Brittney Berreth | Staff Writer Published on: July 8, 2016 6:47 am Leave a Comment

LONDON, Sporting Alert – The semi-finals of the men’s singles at Wimbledon 2016 will take place on Day 12 on Friday.

Live streaming will be on ESPN3/WatchESPN and ESPN | Live online streaming highlights at www.wimbledon.com

The four men who will be in action – hunting two places – are Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Milos Raonic and Tomas Berdych.

Taking the court first on Centre Court is Canada’s No. 6 seed Milos Raonic, who will face No. 3 seed Roger Federer of Switzerland, starting at 8:00 am ET.

The seven-times champion Federer enters these semi-finals full of confidence after shockingly surviving an exit in the quarter-finals.

Federer recovered from being two sets down to beat Croatian sixth-seed Marin Cilic to reach his 11th Wimbledon semi-final.

“When you’re down two sets to love, 3-3, 0-40, it’s a moment when it’s not in your control anymore,” the 34-year-old said after overcoming the huge deficit on Wednesday.

“But I fought, I tried, I believed. At the end I got it done.”

The Swiss veteran will take on the six seeded Raonic, who ended the surprising run of American No. 28 seed Sam Querrey 6-4 7-5 5-7 6-4 in his quarter-finals.

The coach of the Canadian, John McEnroe, was left stunned by the way Federer was able to pull off the comeback victory in his quarter-final match.

“I cannot believe Roger Federer won that match. Unbelievable tennis. How did he get out of that?

“You’ve got to love the courage that he’s able to find a way to do that, that’s a killer loss.”

Meanwhile, in the day’s second semi-final match, No. 2 Andy Murray will take on Tomas Berdych, the 10th seed at Wimbledon 2016.

Great Britain number one Murray battled out a five-set thriller against Frenchman No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarter-finals to reach the semi-finals on Wednesday night.

His competitor, Czech Republic’s Berdych, beat Frenchman Lucas Pouille to book his second Wimbledon semi-final and he could be a handful for Murray in their last four battle.

Much of the highlight was surrounded around Roger Federer, who pulled off a remarkable comeback to book his place into the last four.

Federer started slowly and found himself trailing by two sets to No. 9 Marin Cilic of Croatia on Centre Court.

However, the No. 3 seeded seven-time Wimbledon champion rallied from the massive deficit, including fighting off three match points to get the better of Cilic, 6-7(4) 4-6 6-3 7-6(9) 6-3, in five sets and earned his semi-final spot.

Federer will next face Canada’s No. 6 seed Milos Raonic, who ended the surprising run of American No. 28 seed Sam Querrey, with a 6-4 7-5 5-7 6-4 result.

Unlike Federer, Raonic got off to brisk start – winning the opening two sets before wrapping things up in the fourth.

Querrey, who earlier in the tournament defeated No. 1 Novak Djokovic, won the third second to cut the deficit to 2-1.

However, Raonic went on to finish off the contest in the fourth set and setup a battle with Federer.

“I thought Milos played great today. I don’t think I played poorly at all,” said Querrey. “I knew he had a big serve, obviously, but I was really impressed with his net game.

“He really didn’t miss a volley today. He kept coming forward, kept the pressure on me, and I felt it.

“Kudos to him for playing a very good, clean match.”

No. 2 Andy Murray also advanced to semifinal at Wimbledon, following a hard fought 7-6(10) 6-1 3-6 4-6 6-1 win over France’s No. 12 seed 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Murray shot to a 2-0 lead in the match, but the Frenchman stormed back to win the next two sets to even things up at 2-2.

Murray then cruised to a 6-1 win in the fifth set to advance into the semis.

Also on Wednesday, the tenth-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic beat No. 32 Lucas Pouille of France 7-6(4) 6-3 6-2 in his quarterfinal.

Berdych and Murray will meet in one of two semifinal matches.

Great Britain’s Murray, will seek to reach the third round on Thursday and he will be up against a familiar face.

Keeping A Close Eye On Danger?

The 29-year-old takes on Taiwan’s Yen-Hsun Lu, who he has beaten in the last three meetings, but a player who also knocked him out in the first round of the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Murray, as expected, is listed as the favourite, but the Briton is anticipating a tough matchup against the world number 78 ranked player, who is on an 11-match winning streak.

“It’s a very tough match,” Murray admitted. “He’s played the three grass-court Challengers in the build-up.

“He’s won two of them and lost in the final of one.”

The fifth-seeded Nishikori of Japan will matchup against France’s Julien Benneteau in the second round.

It’s A Quick Turnaround

Also playing on Centre Court is British number one and No. 16 seed Johanna Konta, who is scheduled for back-to-back matches.

She meets Eugenie Bouchard of Canada, the 2014 Wimbledon finalist.

Konta defeated Monica Puig of Puerto Rico in a rain-affected program on Wednesday, but she will make the quick turnaround to help take care of the overloaded schedule, caused by the rain delays on Tuesday and Wednesday.

In order of play on Court One, women’s No. 2 seed Garbine Muguruza of Spain will face-off with Slovakia’s Jana Cepelova, while on the men’s side No. 8 seed Dominic Thiem of Austria goes up against Jiri Vesely of the Czech Republic and No. 16 Gilles Simon of France plays Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria.

In a loaded order of play on Court Two, Romania’s No. 5 Simona Halep, No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who is making a quick turnaround as well, and Australia’s No. 19 Bernard Tomic will all look to advance.

Several fans at Wimbledon 2016 on Wednesday were award full refund on tickets after rain affected several contests.
