I have no idea when the last time was I looked at a tournament, and Isner wasn't the top-rated American.

there have been 6 different winners in the last 8 years of the men's draw. definitely the most wide open major every year.

from 2008-2012, there were 5 different winners. also, from 2012-2015, no one has won more than once.

by far the best slam of the year, imo.

16 year old Kayla Day of Santa Barbara was given a wild card into the main draw for winning the 18's National championship a few weeks ago. She's a powerful lefty especially for her age. Ive seen her play on the junior circuit here in California. Probably the type of junior that will turn pro instead of going to college. She drew fellow American Madison Brengle in the first round. If she were to pull the upset a likely nightmarish matchup against Madison Keys would await. 17 year old Californian Cici Bellis won three qualifying matches to make the main draw again. She won a match in the main draw 2 years ago as a 15 year old.

Definitely rooting for the old del Potro comeback he is doing really well in the latter half of 2016

But more realistically Murray. Djokovic is faltering and I would like to continue to see that happen. I want Fed to keep the most championships and I am of Scottish heritage so go Andy

But also del Potro
