Andy Murray has had the best year of his career and has been practicing at the University of Miami all year in his spare time.  Juan Martin Del Potro had the tournament of his life by winning the U.S. Open shortly after making a quick stop in Coral Gables, FL and practicing at the University of Miami Neil Schiff Tennis Center.
     Coincidence or not Murray and Del Potro have both had victories over the two most dominant players in the game: Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal right at the same time they have been practicing on the Miami Hurricanes home tennis courts.  Congrats to both Del Potro and Murray and GO CANES!

    On 9/9/2001 Hewitt took a U.S. Open title over American Pete Sampras and two days later New York, America, and the world would never be the same.  Terrorists attacks on the largest city in the U.S. sent a chill down everyone's spine and put things back into perspective. 
     Today the U.S. Open plays on with one of tennis' fiercest competitors looking to move on and seize his first U.S. Open title.  Nadal is fighting through a nagging knee injury and an admoninal injury yet he continues to fight through these pains on a quest towards a U.S. Open title.  Everyone in New York will be remembering this day today whether they are on wall street or Flushing Meadows.  But like Nadal and all great champions New York fights on and will continue to prosper.  All of the victims from the terrorist attack on the greatest country in the world will always be remembered and this day will never be forgotten.

     Hello tennis fans!  This is my first blog and its actually about football amidst the amazing U.S. Open in New York.  Monday night football brought sports fans a rivaly like Federer/ Nadal, McEnroe/ Conners, and Sampras/ Agassi.  My Alma Mater the Miami Hurricanes took on those dreaded Florida State Seminoles, and for the first time in years the "U" has their swag back. 
     Many players always complain about certain players for being cocky, however that attitude is sometimes essential to being a winner in sports.  Like the canes say, "If you don't want us to dance in the end zone then don't let us score."  I honestly did not watch the Novak Djokovic match since the football game was one of the best I have seen in years.  However, Novak Djokovic after a stellar performance under the lights in New York city where he was boo'ed off the court last year after a controversial match with Andy Roddick, won some fans back by bringing John McEnroe out of the play-by-play booth to play a point on Arthur Ashe Stadium.  Its good to see a young player with so much talent finally respecting who pays the bills.... the fans.
