US Open Mens Final

0 comments

The US Open mens final 2010 finally ended major tennis for the year. Of course, the US Open mens final 2010 didn't end on time, as the schedule had a
 Monday final again. In fact, the match was subject to another rain delay at a key point, and did not end until after 10 p.m. est on ESPN 2. But by the time it did end, it was clear that Novak Djokovic did not have another comeback in him. As such, the US Open mens final 2010 made tennis history, and made Rafael Nadal the undisputed No. 1 in the land.

Flushing Meadows was the last major location to get the best of Nadal, at least until this year. He had not lost a set going into the final, and looked safe to get a career Grand Slam. Novak Djokovic seemed to make the task easier when he upset Roger Federer, but that was not the case for a while.

Before the US Open mens final 2010 had another rain delay, Nadal and Djokovic were practically even. Nadal won the first set, but Djokovic jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the second. However, Nadal evened things at 4-all and looked set to retake control -- yet the rain delay gave Djokovic time to regroup and seize the set after all.

With the US Open mens final 2010 now even at a set, it appeared that the tennis action would not end soon. However, Nadal overcame the first chink in his armor, and broke Djokovic early in the third set. From then on, he was back in command, eventually taking a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 triumph.

The Open tennis schedule had been very conventional this year, with Nadal's dominance and Kim Clijsters' latest repeat. Of course, Nadal had never dominated Flushing Meadows like this, but he had made it commonplace at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Djokovic provided more drama than expected, yet the US Open mens final 2010 finally became a coronation.

Now that Nadal has won all four majors, and pulled away over Federer -- despite not having to beat him in this year's majors -- there doesn't seem to be much left for him. However, his three consecutive major titles have made next year's Australian Open a massive event. If he wins that, he will have the "Rafa Slam" and hold all four majors at once, which no man has done in decades.

US Open Live Streaming

0 comments

US Open live streaming has been interrupted by another rain delay. Those watching US Open live streaming are staring at a blank screen, during the second
US Open final rain delay. Yesterday, the final between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic never got off the ground, due to steady rain. Today, Nadal and Djokovic got started, and were about to head for a turning point in their match, until bad weather struck again. Now, the US Open live streaming won't resume until the rain delay ends, which may be no earlier than 7:30 pm.

Starting at 4:30 pm est, CBS finally showed the start of the men's final, while CBS Sportsline and the official Open website broadcast it online. It took a day, but Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic finally took the court for the last match of the tournament.

However, a rain delay sent them off again, meaning that the US Open live streaming has been halted as well. What's more, for those who are watching the match on TV, it will be moved over to ESPN 2 when it does resume. The rain and lightning also delayed the start of the Jets-Ravens kickoff by 25 minutes.

As of now, it appears the earliest that things can get under way is 7:30 pm, according to Fanhouse. Once play resumes, US Open live streaming will resume on CBS Sportline and the Open site. However, if the rain continues, those watching online will have to go back on tomorrow for the end.

The men's final has been held on a Monday for the last two years, but they had been able to get done on a Monday. But this new rain delay could push things, since Nadal and Djokovic are near the end of the second set.

Those who logged onto the US Open live streaming sites saw Nadal jump out early to a 6-4 opening set win. Yet Djokovic rallied back, much like he did against Roger Federer, for a 4-1 second set lead. However, Nadal was making a rally himself, and evened the set at 4 with a chance to break Djokovic again and take control.
