The US Open started two weeks ago and due to the heavy rains from last week the Men’s Single Final – normally held on Sunday was moved to today. I’ve been posting a handsome photo of a male tennis player each day of play (with the exception of yesterday – 9/11) and it seemed fitting to conclude these posts with the world’s no. 1 tennis player, Novak Djokovic.

Novak has had an amazing year winning the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and rallied against Federer this weekend in the semifinals of this tournament to come from behind and win. If he wins today in NY he will have won 3 of the 4 Majors in the 2011 – an amazing feat and in large part the reason he has the no. 1 ranking.

The US Open started last week, and the tournament is now nearly over. To celebrate the Open I’ve been posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring Spanish tennis player, Raphael Nadal, currently ranked no. 2 in the world. Nadal has been in the spotlight ever since the summer of 2005 when he won the French Open. Since then, he’s been a regular at not just Roland Garros but at all four majors. He has an amazing game and was the guy who grabbed the no. 1 ranking from Roger Federer who had been ranked no. 1 an astounding 237 weeks.

The US Open started last week, and despite the rain, the tournament continues (albeit in fits and starts). To celebrate the Open I’ve been posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring Argentinian tennis player, David Nalbandian, a player who just a few years ago was ranked as high as 3 in the world, but in recent years has seen his ranking drop and is currently 76 in the world.

This year David made it to the third round of the US Open where he lost to Raphael Nadal – last year’s US Open Champion. Nalbandian is now 29 and doesn’t have the same game he did a few years ago, but he’s still an excellent competitor who has a career to be proud of for certain.

The US Open started last week, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring American tennis player, Andy Roddick, who will be playing David Ferrer later today. Roddick is a former Top 10 player and won the US Open back in 2003. However, he’s 29 now and his game has slipped in recent years. Despite that fact, I can’t help but pull for Andy and hope he can beat Ferrer (the second highest ranked Spaniard). You can cheer on Andy tonight 7PM ET on ESPN2.

The US Open started this week, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring a Bulgarian player named Grigor Dimitrov. Currently ranked 57, Grigor lost in the first round to the extremely physical Frenchman, Gael Monfils. However, he’s still quite young at only 20 years of age and he has time to improve his game. Time will tell if he can, but in the interim, I enjoy watching this young man play.

The US Open started on Monday in New York City, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring French player Arnaud Clement, a former top 10 player. Arnaud is one of the older players on the tour now that he’s in his early 30s and in recent years he’s had more success playing doubles although he and Lukas Dlouhy unfortunately lost in the Open’s first round this year.

The US Open started earlier this week in New York City, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring American tennis player and native New Yorker, James Blake. Unfortunately he lost to David Ferrer in 3-sets on Friday. However, he’s still quick and has a killer forehand, making him really fun to watch when his game is on.

The US Open started on Monday in New York City, and in honor of the Open, I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring the super tall Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro (nicknamed Delpo) who stands 6’6″. Currently ranked 18 in the world, he beat fellow countryman Diego Junqueira today to move on to the third round. I don’t expect Delpo to win the Open but he is a tough competitor. I love this photo of him tossing his shirt into the crowd. Not sure I’d fit into something that can fit his frame, but wouldn’t it be cool to have?

The US Open started on Monday in New York City. In honor of the Open, I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play at the US Open.

Today, I’m featuring my first American tennis player, Robby Ginepri. He has moved on to the second round at the US Open but is a long shot. However, I’ve always thought this guy not only has a great game, but is easy on the eyes. I think most will agree that tennis might have a larger following if guys like Ginepri were allowed to play matches without a shirt (who needs those pesky sponsors anyway).

The US Open (the last of the four tennis majors) starts today in New York City; concluding on Sunday, September 11th.

I’ve attended this tennis tournament in the past and it is an amazing place to see some of the world’s best tennis players compete. I especially love the raucous night games. In honor of the start of play, I thought I’d post a tennis player each day.
