With the holiday weekend and all of the other sports news that happened over the weekend we haven’t been able to cover the US Open as closely as we would have liked too, but we’re hoping this post catches everybody up on some of the big upsets that took place during the past few days.
For starters, hottie Maria Sharapova was knocked out of the tournament by Melanie Oudin 3-6, 6-4, 7-5 on Saturday. After Sharapova was eliminated we really lost interest in the entire US Open, but we’ll try our hardest to continue caring.
On Sunday, Venus Williams was also upset when she lossed to Kim Clijsters 6-0, 0-6, 6-4. Clijsters now advances to the quarterfinals where she’ll face Na Li of China. This also added to our reasons of why not to care because there’s now no hope of seeing another epic battle between Williams sisters.
Finally, Andy Roddick was also upset during the weekend. This loss wasn’t a huge shocker, mostly because Roddick has a habbit of losing games like this. But if you care, he lossed to 6-foot-9 American John Isner, 7-6 (3), 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 7-6 (5) on Saturday.
And now you’re pretty much caught up on all of the news we care about surrounding the US Open.
