Maria sharapova best in US open Tennis 2011
Maria Sharapova in the first round of the US Open was her belief in defeat that she is worth her place in this company. Here was a British loser buoyed by the prospect of the challenge in front of her, not merely sated by the tantalising scent of near-victory that she had just experienced. the Guernsey teenager turned in the finest performance of her career before succumbing to the power and desperation of the Russian after two hours and 34 minutes of high-class slugging. It was a really great match, very competitive. We played some really great tennis."
Rarely has the Russian shrieked so loudly. Rarely has the prospect of defeat been etched so deeply on her fine features. Watson, all the while, remained calm and determined and lost not through any shortcomings of her own but through the class and courage of her opponent.
The match, in front of an enthralled audience on Arthur Ashe Court who were mainly pulling for Watson, followed Laura Robson's retirement win over Japan's Ayumi Morita, 7-6, 1-0, to advance to round two of a grand-slam event for the second time. This was Watson's day, though. Losing would have sent Sharapova into an emotional heap, so intense was the commitment of both players.

Rafael nadal us open final 2011
Rafael "Rafa" Nadal Parera (born 3 June 1986) is a Spanish professional tennis player and a former World No. 1. As of 29 August 2011 (2011 -08-29)[update], he is ranked No. 2 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). Nadal has won ten Grand Slam singles titles, including six French Open titles, the 2008 Olympic gold medal in singles, a record 19 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments, and also was part of the Spain Davis Cup team that won the finals in 2004, 2008 and 2009. He completed the career Grand Slam by winning the 2010 US Open, being the seventh player in history, and the youngest in the open era, to achieve it. Nadal had a 32-match winning streak in 2008, starting at the 2008 Masters Series Hamburg to the 2008 Western & Southern Financial Group Masters and Women's Open, which included titles at Hamburg, the French Open (where he did not drop a set), Queen's Club, his first title at Wimbledon, and the Rogers Cup. In 2011, by winning the Monte Carlo Masters, he became the only player to have won seven editions of a tournament in a row at the ATP level. Nadal was ranked world No. 2, behind Roger Federer, for a record 160 consecutive weeks before earning the top spot, which he held from 18 August 2008 to 5 July 2009.
At age eight, Nadal won an under-12 regional tennis championship at a time when he was also a promising football player. This made Toni Nadal intensify training, and at that time he encouraged Nadal to play left-handed for a natural advantage on the tennis court, as he noticed Nadal played forehand shots with two hands. When Nadal was 12, he won the Spanish and European tennis titles in his age group and was playing tennis and football all the time. Nadal's family turned down this request, partly because they feared it would hurt his education but also because Toni said that "I don't want to believe that you have to go to America, or other places to be a good athlete. You can do it from your home. April 2002, at 15 years and 10 months, the world No. 762 Nadal won his first ATP match, defeating Ramón Delgado, and became the ninth player in the open era to do so before the age of 16. The following year, Nadal won two Challenger titles and finished the year in the top 50. At his Wimbledon debut in 2003, Nadal became the youngest man to reach the third round since Boris Becker in 1984. During 2004, Nadal played his first match against world No. 1 Roger Federer at the 2004 Miami Masters, and won in straight sets. Nadal started 2011, by participating in the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. He defeated Tomáš Berdych 6–4, 6–4 to reach his third final in the exhibition tournament. In the final, he won over his main rival Roger Federer 7–6, 7–6.
At his first tour event of the year in an Australian Open warm-up tournament, the Qatar ExxonMobil Open ATP 250 event in Doha, Qatar, Nadal barely struggled past his first three opponents, Karol Beck 6–3, 6–0, Lukas Lacko 7–6, 0–6, 6–3, and Ernests Gulbis 7–6, 6–3 citing fever as the primary reason for his poor performance. He fell in straight sets to a resurgent Nikolay Davydenko in the semifinals, 6–3, 6–2.
