Chanda Rubin, my old high school classmate and the Official Tennis Player of crabwalk.com, is seeded 14th at the U.S. Open. (See the May-July archives for previous Chanda coverage.)
I haven’t been keeping all you Chandafans as up to date as I should since her terrific runs at Wimbledon and the French. Ten days ago, she won the JP Morgan Chase Open in Los Angeles. And it’s not like there wasn’t any competition. She beat Serena Williams (!) 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 in the quarters, ending her 21-match win streak. In the semis, she destroyed world No. 4 Jelena Dokic 6-0, 6-2, then beat Lindsay Davenport 5-7, 7-6 (5), 6-3 in the finals. I tell you: Chanda’s on fire!

hey josh, i’ve been keeping up with chandra ever since you mentioned her during wimbledon. i think she’s been kickin’ butt and taking names. being a big tennis fan (and someone who loves to play the game even though i pretty much suck at it), i watch all the tourneys. i saw her match against serena and against dokic (she totally whipped up on that girl). i agree, the girl’s on fire. i think she’ll have a great us open. =) my current prediction: at least quarterfinals. that may change as i watch some of her us open matches, but i think she’ll get -at least- that far, perhaps further.
hey josh, dig this. chanda straight whipped up on her first opponent, 6-1 6-3. =)
