Worn down after dropping the second set to Victoria Azarenka, the second-seeded Romanian got to rest up for nearly an hour-and-a-half when the sky opened up. “Thanks, God, for raining,” she said in an on-court interview after her 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 victory Wednesday. Halep, who’s just 5-foot-6, came back on court with a 106 mph ace to prove just how fresh she felt. She advanced to face 26th-seeded Flavia Pennetta, who beat two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in another three-set match earlier Wednesday. Azarenka also is a two-time major champ - as well as a two-time US Open runner-up. Her big-match experience showed for much of the afternoon against Halep, who was seeking to reach just her third major semifinal and first at Flushing Meadows. The 23-year-old Romanian had 40 winners to 19 unforced errors, while Azarenka had 38 winners to 42 unforced errors. At key moments, though, Azarenka was better, converting all five of her break-point chances while Halep was 6 for 19. But when that final break point came at 3-3 in the third set, Halep con- verted it, and that was enough to squeeze out the victory with Romanian gymnastics gold medalist Nadia Comaneci cheering her on. “It was great to have a great champion in my box,” Halep said. The rain came in the fourth game of the final set and delayed the match for 1 hour, 25 minutes. Azarenka had broken Halep in her first service game of the set only to be immediately broken back. Azarenka was seeded just 20th after two injury-plagued seasons and NEW YORK: Roger Federer of Switzerland serves the ball to Richard Gasquet of France during their 2015 US Open Men’s hadn’t been to a Grand Slam semifinal since the 2013 US Open. In that singles quarterfinals match at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York on Wednesday. Federer won time, Halep has soared up the rankings, reaching last year’s French Open 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. — AFP final. Both women’s quarterfinals Tuesday also went to three sets, the first time since the 1982 US Open that all four women’s quarters went the dis- tance at a major. Pennetta rallied from down a set and a break to reach her second US Open semifinal in three years. Federer targets Wawrinka “In the second set, I was really in trouble,” Pennetta said. “I just keep going, playing, playing. It’s unbelievable.” In 38 career appearances at the other three majors, Pennetta has reached the quarters just once. She’s done it six times in seven years at Flushing Meadows, including her only in US Open final push two trips to a Grand Slam semifinal. “Before the tournament I never think NEW YORK: Five-time champion Roger just twice.

  • Game, Set, Watched: Governance, Social Control and Surveillance in Professional Tennis
    GAME, SET, WATCHED: GOVERNANCE, SOCIAL CONTROL AND SURVEILLANCE IN PROFESSIONAL TENNIS By Marie-Pier Guay A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada November, 2013 Copyright © Marie-Pier Guay, 2013 Abstract Contrary to many major sporting leagues such as the NHL, NFL, NBA, and MLB, or the Olympic Games as a whole, the professional tennis industry has not been individually scrutinized in terms of governance, social control, and surveillance practices. This thesis presents an in-depth account of the major governing bodies of the professional tennis circuit with the aim of examining how they govern, control, constrain, and practice surveillance on tennis athletes and their bodies. Foucault’s major theoretical concepts of disciplinary power, governmentality, and bio-power are found relevant today and can be enhanced by Rose’s ethico-politics model and Haggerty and Ericson’s surveillant assemblage. However, it is also shown how Foucault, Rose, and Haggerty and Ericson’s different accounts of “modes of governing” perpetuate sociological predicaments of professional tennis players within late capitalism. These modes of surveillance are founded on a meritocracy based on the ATP and WTA rankings systems. A player’s ranking affects how he or she is governed, surveilled, controlled, and even punished. Despite ostensibly promoting tennis athletes’ health protection and wellbeing, the systems of surveillance, governance, and control rely on a biased and capitalistically-driven meritocracy that actually jeopardizes athletes’ health and contributes to social class divisions, socio- economic inequalities, gender discrimination, and media pressure.

  • Physics of Tennis Lesson 4 Energy
    The Physics of Tennis Lesson 4: Energy changes when a ball interacts with different surfaces Unit Overview: In this unit students continue to develop understanding of what can be at first glance a complicated system, the game of tennis. In this activity we have taken two components of the game of tennis, the ball and court, to see if we can model the interactions between them. This activity focuses on the energy interactions between ball and court. Objectives: Students will be able to- • Describe what forces interact when the ball hits a surface. • Understand what changes occur when potential and kinetic energy conversion is taking place within a system. At the high school level students should include connections to the concept of “work =FxD” and calculations of Ek = ½ 2 mv and Ep =mgh according to the conservation of energy principal. • Identify the types of energy used in this system. (restricted to potential & kinetic energy) • Comparative relative energy losses for typical court compositions. Lesson Time Required: Four class periods Next Generation Science/Common Core Standards: • NGSS: HS-PS3-1.Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. • CCSS.Math. Content: 8.F.B.4 Use functions to model relationships between quantities. • Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph.

Australia’s Margaret Court holds the record for all-time Grand Slam singles titles (men or women) with 24 titles, ahead of Serena Williams, who holds the Open Era record with 23 Grand Slam singles titles.
