While we anxiously wait to see what happens at the US Open this month, this Grand Slam season has been a season of many upsets for fans. It’s not the first time there have been upsets and definitely not the last. Yet, the sheer number of upsets this season has many fans crying out for their sports heroes.
温网男子锦标赛的第一个重大沮丧是在乔·威尔弗里德·蓬加（Jo-Wilfried Tsonga）和罗杰·费德勒（Roger Federer）之间的四分之一决赛中。飞跃的最爱是，费德勒（Federer）在世界各地的电视机上都有球迷，以查看国王必须提供的新照片。当16届大满贯冠军输给Tsonga时，世界各地的Federer恋人都在哭泣。最后，在世界1诺瓦克·德约科维奇（Novak Djokovic）和人群最喜欢的拉斐尔·纳达尔（Rafael Nadal）之间进行了激烈的比赛。
At the women’s end, Maria Sharapova, who had been on a roll since the first day of the Wimbledon tournament with impressive wins, lost her streak at the finals against Petra Kvitova. This, while many-time champions, the Williams sisters (Serena and Venus), were knocked out in the fourth round and top seed Wozniacki was sent packing by number 24 Dominika Cibulkova.
On the clay court at the French Open, fans were treated to an action-packed final with Federer struggling it out with Nadal. The king of clay, Nadal, called upon every ounce of his energy the title.
Earlier in the year, Australian Open, China’s upset world number Caroline Wozniacki the first Asian player in the Open Era to reach a Grand Slam final in a singles tournament and then win it. This after she already upset Venus Williams in the quarter finals.
对于男子锦标赛，虽然球迷理所当然地期待这次巡回赛最久经考验的明星，即顶级种子拉斐尔·纳达尔（Rafael Nadal）和第二个种子罗杰·费德勒（Roger Federer），在纳尔斯（Nals）见面，但两名球员都没有幸存。纳达尔（Nadal）在该季度输给了大卫·费勒（David Ferrer），纳达尔（Nadal）在决赛中被诺瓦克·德约科维奇（Novak Djokovic）击败。
When Andy Murray toppled Ferrer in the semis, the stage was set for two of the games next tier contenders to show their stuff. Novak Djokovic turned in a thoroghly convincing triumph over his long-time rival. Even more impressive was Djokovic’s maturing. He played confidently with emotions in check throughout the tournament, and went on to become the World number 1 after beating Nadal to clinch the muchcoveted Wimbledon title.
Times will change and so will players, and with them the stars; these names and times will become history. And even then, the heartbroken fans will have them etched in their memories forever.
