Andy Murray
vs Florian Mayer
The current
champion Andy Murray will face Florian Mayer and will try to get a third career
victory over the German.
Mayer has
never reached the fourth round in this competition, and after good performances
against Juan Monaco and Donald Young, he is looking to beat last years’ winner.
Both players have faced this year at Madrid in a very interesting match where
Murray won 7 – 6 (11) 7 – 6 (3).
Murray
knows Mayer is a very dangerous players, the German has already won against
Rafael Nadal in this surface two years ago at Shangai, and the British has to
be very aggressive from the baseline, especially in the return, not allowing
Mayer to get in the net behind his serve.
Murray
should get a good win here in straight sets to get a place in the fourth round
Serena
Williams vs Sloane Stephens
Serena
Williams will try to revenge the Australian Open defeat against Sloane Stephens,
after that match the relation between both has deteriorated itself and this will
be a war between the two best American players.
After a
difficult game against Mandy Minella, Stephens has found her game and won in
straight sets against Urszula Radwanska and Jamie Hampton. She has to play aggressive and move Serena
from one side to another, otherwise the number one will fire winners after
winners.
Williams
had three very easy matches allowing just 8 games in those meetings and she is
concentrated in getting her fifth US Open title.
Serena is
the favorite and will prove why she is the number one in the world winning in straight
sets
