Day 7 Count down to Final begins with Semi final matches scheduled for tomorrow Question is, will it be in form Amercian Robby Genepri or will it be talented Guillermo Canas of Argentina. Who do you think will win this tournament? My money is on Canas. The red hot favorite, in his red hot shirt Day 7 brought delightful weather and wonderful tennis. This tournament has brought several young talented American tennis players in the forefront: Asia Muhammad, Madison Brengle and the raw talent of Coco Vandeweghe |

Coco says, and I quote, ‘People say that after the Williams sisters there is nobody to take the reins of American women’s tennis. Well they are wrong. Look at all the young American talent in this tournament. We are all hardworking, talented female US tennis players, who after the Williams sisters, will raise the American flag high. This coming from 16 year old, what can I say but, God speed be with you, Coco. Coco is right and Coco’s determination will see this through |
|
Asia Muhammad of USA is making leaps and bounds in this tournament. She has competed hard and has come through unscathed. She has beaten Bychkova of Russia, today. In this tournament, Asia has been victorious over Malek of Germany, Czink of Hungary. All the three players Asia has been victorious over, are rated very high quality players. It is Asia’s talent, determination, grit and will that has seen her through these challenging matches. The above players did not lose because they did not play well. They lost because Asia’s consistent talent, determination and desire to win overwhelmed them. Good going Asia |
|
Madison Brengle of USA, who is a doubles partner with Asia Muhammad is another force to reckon with. Today Madison overwhelmed Cohen-Aloro of France in a tension filled match. Earlier in this tournament, Madison was victorious over talented Meusberger of Australia. We will be hearing a lot about this American talent, Madison Brengle, in the near future |

but her tennis talent is much beyond her age. Prior to this tournament, Coco was not a well known player. While in this tournament, Coco has got the respect of many a tennis player and public. Coco’s match with Rezai of France is worth mentioning. Rezai, a known player and ranked high in this tournament, fell to Coco’s consistent tennis. Coco showed maturity and kept her cool through out the match. With her aggressive and consistent play, Coco kept Rezai under constant pressure. All this from a raw talent, is admirable Coco also has a mischievous side to her personality. When I asked Coco, as to what she liked in Las Vegas. Coco promptly answered, ‘THE BUFFETS’. I than asked, does your coach know of your buffet adventures, she replies, no but says, her mother is in it with her. I guess, since mother and daughter are in it, coach does not need to get involved As Coco says, American women tennis is not done yet. I have a feeling, Coco, Asia and Madison will raise American flag very high, and this I want and would very much like to see |
