If you spent your Labor Day watching tennis than you were probably pretty bored. Serena Williams crushed her opponent Andrea Hlavackova, 6-0, 6-0. Poor Hlavackova who is ranked 82nd didn’t stand a chance. Next Williams will face former Ana Ivanovic who she has previously beaten 3 times, so can’t expect an exciting match there. It kind of feels like they should just go ahead and proclaim Williams the winner. On the downside of Serena’s day she lost doubles with her sister Venus. Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova beat the Williams sisters, 6-1, 6-4 in the third round.
Andy Murray is advancing after beating Milos Raonic, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. We are all just hoping that Murray stays in it long enough for a rematch with Roger Federer. Murray is expected to beat his next opponent No. 12 Marin Cilic, whom he has only lost to once but it was at the US Open in 2008.
Then Roger Federer was set to play Mardy Fish but Fish withdrew for health reasons. Fish had been suffering from a heart condition so speculation is that it had something to do with that .
So there you have it not a very exciting day in the world of tennis.
