Roger Federer has been ranked number one in men’s tennis for the past four years. He does not want to lost his position but it has been threatened this season, mostly due to Rafael Nadal. These two have a longtime rivalry which makes for very exciting matches. Nadal won the French Open and then the Wimbledon this year. After the summer Olympics, the U.S. Open tennis tournament takes place.

And the U.S. Open tennis coverage is sure to spotlight both Federer and Nadal. One is on his way out of professional tennis and the other seems to just be warming up. It will be exciting to see these two players in the finals, which most predict they will be. It will also be interesting to see how all of the professional players fair since there will not be much of a break from the Olympics to the U.S. Open.

America’s best shot for a tennis metal lies with the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena are both exceptional players and they are both going to the Olympics. It will be interesting to see if they play each other in the finals because that is what happened at Wimbledon. I wonder how their father feels when his daughters play each other. Either way, the 2008 tennis season is only starting to get exciting.
