The problem with the 2014 US Open final in the broader sense? Marin Cilic and Kei Nishikori aren t household names not players who are known for people who are only slightly interested in Tennis, usually awaken when a Grand Slam Final pops up. The Croatian beat the Japanese player in a final that showed this is no longer a top 4 tour, yet it s going to take some time getting used to it.

Attorneys for the BAA, the university and Chicago-based alum Kurt Dorr gathered at an undisclosed location in hopes of reaching an agreement about the fate of the building, which Baylor planned to demolish this month as part of construction plans for the new on-campus football stadium.
Cilic claimed the win in straight sets (6-3, 6-3, 6-3) as he beat Nishikori as the two of them made their debuts in a Grand Slam final. Cilic himself has only been past the quarterfinals in a major once in his career. Nishikori s biggest achievement to date was reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.

The other problem for this game, as some hope it won <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Calista>Kate Spade Shoes</a>  t be a repeat of the 1996 Wimbledon final, featuring one-hit wonders like Richard Krajicek and MaliVai Washington, both quite unremarkable players as history judges them only to have one shiny moment that will go down in the history pages as the final that interrupted Pete Sampras from winning Wimbledon eight times in a row.

Cilic dominated throughout the US Open, although things were difficult in the early rounds. He dropped a set in the third round when beating Kevin Anderson from South <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Black-Louboutin-Shoes>Black Louboutin Shoes</a>  Africa, and needed five sets and his incredible serves to overcome Gilles Simon in the fourth round, in what might have been the best match of the tournament. Things were much easier for him in the final 8, beating Tomas Berdych and Roger Federer in straight sets to reach his first Grand Slam Final.

Dorr, who described <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Gold-Watch-Black-Purse-Bags.html>Gucci Bags</a>  himself in court documents as a lifetime member of the BAA, successfully obtained a temporary restraining order to delay the demolition and is pushing to postpone it until the Sept. 7 vote.
Roger Federer is still the most popular Tennis player in the world, despite not winning a Grand Slam title since 2012. The crowd in the semifinal against Cilic certainly showed that. With people growing so accustomed to the titles splitting between Djokovic, Nadal, Murray and Federer over the last few years and usually seeing these four in the semifinals, it s almost hard to compute two complete different names making it this far and playing for the trophy.

His attorneys have argued that both the agreement and the planned demolition violate contracts the association and Baylor entered into in the mid-1990s granting the organization perpetual use of the building and giving it the right to serve as Baylor鈥檚 official alumni association.
Maybe this year is a change. Nadal can t last more than two-three months without getting injured, Andy Murray might have peaked in 2012-2013, and Novak Djokovic isn <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Corduroys>True Religion Corduroys</a>  t the rock solid player, physically and mentally, he was not too long ago. Roger Federer can still produce some brilliant tennis, but a best-of-five match takes too much out of him, as the five-setter against Monfils clearly showed.

Baylor <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Outlets-Winter-Hats-Belt.html>Gucci Outlets</a>  has said the Hughes-Dillard site is needed as part of a grassy plaza leading to a pedestrian bridge across the Brazos River connecting the campus to the football stadium on the opposite riverbank.
This was only the second time since 2003 that no player won more than one grand slam. It s also the first time since 2003 that two players not named Federer-Nadal-Djokovic won a Grand Slam title each. The Masters and end-of-year tournament will give us a better indication if this trend will carry on into 2015, or are we going to see the same old faces after one year of shaking things up.

Mabry said he did not know whether the meeting with Smith would be a formal public hearing.
