Us open script

Hello and welcome to a BBC special report of the 24th

us open

tennis championships. The sunshine is out here in flushing

meadows and we cannot wait to see the players today. Will

Djokovic continue his remarkable form this year and win his

third major of the year or will roger federer rekindle old

magic to win his 17th grand slam. Can nadal bounce back from

his Wimbledon disappointment to retain his us open crown and

finally could Andy Murray win his first grand slam and end

Britains 75 years wait for a male grand slam title. Thelatest odds are that Novak djokovic is the favourite to win

this years us open. Im sure we are all looking forward to

this year to see these great tennis players compete in one of

the best tournaments in the world. At this current time Novak

djokovic is the worlds best player and wants to win his first

grand slam as world number one. He is a favourite to win this

tournament. His first round match is Conor Niland who is an

Irish qualifier. Former world number and 16 grand slam winner

roger federer plays the Columbian Santiago giraldo. Former

world number 1 and 10 time grand slam champion Rafael nadal

plays Andrey Golybev fromKazakhstan and finally the British

number one plays Somdev Devvarman from India. We will go over

to our tennis correspondent at flushing meadows to discuss how

far he thinks each of the top 4 will go in this years us

open.

Presenter in studio: hi mark what the weather is looking like

early this week in these championships. Give an overall

summary on who you think will win the us open.

Mark: well Alex as you can see the weather is bright and we

expect this weather for next few days at least.

Mark: the buzz around the us open is djokovic will win he has

beaten the other 3 of the top four this year in grand slams

and he is in great form and is playing like a world number

one. I personally think it will be djokovic and nadal in the

final and djokovic will beat federer and nadal will beat

Murray. This year djokovic and nadal have been the stand out

players and djokovic has taken tennis to another level, the

improvement over the last 12 months for Novak djokovic has

been incredible. Murray and federer are playing well but I do

not think in this moment in time they can beat nadal or

djokovic. Back to the studio
