Who according to Jacco Eltingh favorites?
“That Serena Williams all four Grand Slams in one year can win, is not wrong. She lost this month While Belinda Bencic in Toronto, but Serena is also human. She is at home the favorite, with hopefully many people who give her. “
” Her way of serving and hitting, with a lot of power, on this fast courts more effective. She sometimes has at the start of a tournament what vulnerable moments, but they will in the initial phase, does not really against which players can take advantage of it. In the final stage of the tournament you never see her actually fooling around and even in that case, she has the mental strength to get over it. “
” When men are Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray Favorites, so you have to look at the title. Stan Wawrinka is still back there and then behind you Kei Nishikori, David Ferrer and Rafael Nadal. Wawrinka is for the top three playing the hardest. If he gets it on his hips, he can with his strong forehand and backhand so put an end to a point. “
” Of the three favorites Federer currently shows the best tennis, Murray has the total picture good in order, but I think Djokovic’s best tennis tournament. He can perform best over seven games at a high level. He is recovering well from competitions and is therefore in the final stage of the tournament the most fit. “
” Robin Haase is unfortunately the only Dutchman in the main tournament in men. In Robin it is important that his knee is good. If it is correct, then it is in his head as well and he is a dangerous opponent for many players. Not for nothing he defeated Wawrinka already this year. “
” I believe that for Kiki Bertens advantage is that she comes from qualifying. It is not very hot in New York and it’s nice that she has won three matches in a row and confidence can refuel. That’s a lot better than cold to go in a tournament “
