Roger Federer Favorite for US Open 2009 among Betters

Wimbledon and French Open winner Roger Federer is now left to win the US Open grand slam tournament to finish another year with three grand slam titles. Federer is always favorite when it comes to US Open as he is the reigning champion of Flashing Meadows for the last five years. Well, the betters feel in the same way too as Federer appeared top most favorite among the betters for US Open 2009, starting from 30 August.


Roger Federer became the winner of record 15 grand slam singles titles by winning French Open 2009 title couple of months back. Well, it is true that Rafael Nadal was not at his top form during French Open this year, mostly because of his knee injury. However, Nadal is still the second favorite among the betters to win US Open 2009, even though the Spaniard has just returned from a 10-week rehabilitation period following a surgery on his knee.


Serbian star Novak Djokovic takes the third place in the list, followed by Juan Martin Del Porto, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Fernado Verdasco, Nikolay Davydenko, Robin Soderling and Fernando Gonzalez in the list of top ten favorites. Well, I think, Andy Roddick and Andy Murray could also be very tough to break in US Open 2009.

French Open 2009: Perfect Stage for Roger Federer to Revive His Career?

Roger Federer is not going through good time on the court since last year. Now, ahead of French Open 2009, the Swiss legend must be looking for a strong come back in the upcoming French Open, the only grand slam tournament Federer could not yet win in his illustrious career. Current no. 1 Rafael Nadal has become the favorite for French Open over the last few years as the Spaniard has been the champion at Roland Garros for 4 years now. No doubt, Nadal has already done enough to become a clay court legend. In fact, the Spaniard has just stretched his clay court winning streak to 30 after defeating Novak Djokovic in the Rome Masters final recently. Naturally, it would be a great challenge for Federer to clinch the French Open 2009 title, outperforming his Spanish rival.


Moreover, Federer has not been in his top form now. In fact, the winner of 13 grand slam titles has not won any title so far this year, and has been knocked out by Novak Djokovic recently from the semi final of Rome Masters. However, I think, Federer could put his career back on the right track, if he can display some spirited performance and win the French Open 2009 in what would equal Pete Sampras’ record 14 grand slam titles. This is a big challenge, but Roger Federer could be inspired, knowing that a French Open title would boost up his career and help him retain what he lost over the last one year.
