If the enthusiasm and energy from the USTA Eastern Long Island 22nd Annual Dinner is any indication of the health of the sport of tennis in our country, I can happily say that tennis is alive and well amongst a wide age group.
Happy New Year to you! Why not reach for the sky in hoping for the following in 2012...
Serena Williams lost her cool, and then she lost the match. Now the biggest name in women's tennis is tweeting about her US Open tirade.
It was a battle befitting of the two top players in the game Both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal brought their 'all' to the court and put on a four hour slugfest that could rank up there with the 'Thrilla in Manila' Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier slugfest in October 1975.
Novak Djokovic was on the wrong side of the court, and the celebration, a year ago after the last ball was struck in the U.S. Open final. But for "Nole," 2011 has been much, much different.
Novak Djokovic walked into Arthur Ashe Stadium for the U.S. Open final Monday wearing a cap adorned with the New York City fire department logo.
Tournament referee Brian Earley issued his ruling Monday, a day after Williams was cited by chair umpire Eva Asderaki for a code violation for verbal abuse during a 6-2, 6-3 loss to Sam Stosur at Flushing Meadows.
It's Djokovic's time. The momentum he has carried to put together such an impressive record this season, and the fact that he has beaten Nadal all five times they've played this year, gives the Serb the 'mental' edge.
Sgt. John Flynn of the NYPD was a first responder at the World Trade Center a decade ago. Watching the pre-game ceremony at Citi Field, he got teary. "How could you not?" he said. "It's just an amazing day, and it's a sad thing for everybody."
Not sure I know anybody who picked Samantha Stosur of Australia to win the US Open title, particularly against Serena Williams, three-time US Open champ and heavy favorite to win it all. But I must say, I was totally impressed with Stosur's game.
When Novak Djokovic faced Rafael Nadal in the 2010 U.S. Open final, Rafa solidified his standing atop the tennis world by earning third Grand Slam title of the season. Oh, how their rivalry has changed in the short span of 12 months.
Sam Stosur could feel her heart pounding as she sat in her chair after winning the first set of the U.S. Open final. "I've got a chance to win one out of the next two," she thought. Turns out she wasn't giving herself enough credit.
It wasn't just another typical sunny Saturday in the park as hundreds of tennis fans gathered around a giant screen at Madison Square Park to watch the US Open Men's Singles Semifinals match between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.
Already outplayed by Sam Stosur in the U.S. Open final, the last thing Serena Williams needed was to lose a game for yelling during a point. That's exactly what happened early in the second set.
Serena Williams overpowered no. 1 seed Caroline Wozniacki and will face Samantha Stosur in the U.S. Open Final.
Rafael Nadal completed a semifinals victory over Andy Murray to set up a U.S. Open Final rematch between himself and Novak Djokovic.
What's it like returning a 140 mile per hour serve? Ask Andy Murray, the 4th seed from Scotland who was able to get through the torpedo-serving John Isner 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6, (7 points to 2 in that fourth set tie-breaker).
The No. 4-seeded Murray neutralized No. 28 Isner's big serve and used a variety of lobs, drop shots and pinpoint passing shots to win 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (2) at the U.S. Open on Friday, reaching his fourth major semifinal this season.
Obama visited the U.S. Open for the first time Friday to promote her campaign against childhood obesity and praise the U.S. Tennis Association's initiative to build kid-sized courts.

Oh, to be a kid again. To play tennis on an out-of-the-way court without a lot of people watching — on a court surrounded by trees and wind screens and a bit of shade, where the biggest distractions might be a baby crying or a guy trying to climb a fence.
