Aug 17, 2015 | Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, US Open, World Ranking
On paper, this Rogers Cup final seemed like an impending defeat for Andy Murray, as he had to face the world’s number one, Novak Djokovic. An impossible win for the Scotsman that had previously lost all his last eight duels versus the notorious Djokovic. His latest victory was during the Wimbledon finals all the way back in 2013. But this time things happened differently, ninth time is the charm one could say as Murray won in three set with 6-4, 4-6, 6-3. All in all this was the ninth time that Murray got away with a win against the powerful Serbian tennis player that has won 19 matches in total against him. This victory means that he went up in the Rankings at a comfortable second place taking Roger Federer’s place as he did not compete in Rogers Cup.

The hunt is back on. It was announced this weekend that the worlds biggest female sportsbrand, Maria Sharapova is single yet again as she broke up with Grigor Dimitrov after a year-long relationship.

I wish her much happiness and success in life and in tennis.” Sharapova has been pretty quiet, however after her vacation to Montenegro, where Dimitrov didn’t come along, there hasn’t been that much doubt as to her actual commitment and the hunt for the long-legged Russian tennis player can begin once again. Much like the rest of the tennis playing elite, Maria Sharapova is on vacation at the moment, but she will be back on the courts halfway through August where she will be competing at the Rogers Cup in Canada.

I need some time to recover and rehab it, but as of now I am being forced to take the next week...
