US Open Grand Slam is the most bizarre in the last six years, so if the championship does not belong to Djokovic, or Federer is not too big a surprise.
Video playback Federer beat Djokovic in Cincinnati final 2015:
It continued with the event for the first time Nadal was crowned in 2010, contrary to the statement that Nadal is hard to reach the summit of the peak in the hard courts at that time.
By 2012, Andy Murray suddenly end a run of four Grand Slam finals and lost by defeating Djokovic - who is rated the highest - for the first time a major tournament champion.
But nothing could surprise over the last year, Nishikori Cilic and together make one final Grand Slam rare no one among the Big 4 in a dozen years. And Cilic, who was rated lower, Nishikori defeated after three sets, to become the second in the history Croatia Grand Slam champion (Goran Ivanisevic after).
US Open also at a more exotic: Federer and Nadal, the two best players in their age (and possibly history), have together won 31 Grand Slam (more than any pair of puff rivals), but never met even once here.
They used to come very close together, but eventually either lost quite romantic nhach, as in the case of Robredo defeated Federer in 2013 in Round 4, while Nadal was waiting for the legendary Swiss in the quarterfinals.
And yet, the US Open is where Federer has been waiting the longest for more once again crowned as the last time he came to the throne in 2008, seven years ago now.
Djokovic US Open is the hardest place where the poorest performance if not calculated to Roland Garros, because until now, the greatest tennis players of Serbia has five times in the final but winning only correct one once in 2011.
Gather all the data, the US Open so it has become the only tournament in Grand Slam system in six years, no one is able to defend the championship.
Need excellence threshold for dominance
After the first day of competition, the surprise was contiguous: Ivanovic was eliminated in the women's singles runner-up and 2014 culminating Nishikori was subdued after 5 set tension with Benoit Paire.
Nishikori is the No. 4 seed, was significant progress in the past two years and the reason of injury or fatigue due to constantly attend the eve of the US Open prize is not the end of the matter.
And Nishikori certainly is not the only shock in the early days of the tournament. Last year, half of the seeds, including Ferrer, was eliminated after round 3 ends.
But what made the Grand Slam US Open became the most unpredictable, the most unexpected potential?
Deco Turf hard courts at the US Open last year had to adjust to the new speed fast ball back is not necessarily a significant cause. It has received the champion is the player to play to this school is Del Potro canvas shade and Cilic, but the players play in that enduring victory is overwhelming more like Nadal, Djokovic, Murray.
The real issue of it is probably a combination of organizational time - the last Grand Slam of the year - with the player himself has dominated the tennis world in recent years, won in large part three Grand Slam before, can not afford to maintain the top level until the end of the season in consecutive years.
Last year Djokovic has declined significantly after the efforts in the summer period to conquer Roland Garros (unsuccessful) and Wimbledon. Federer, too, was devoted to the Wimbledon and US Open, then lost to Cilic in the semifinal.
US Open Grand Slam is the most bizarre in the last six years, so if the championship does not belong to Djokovic, or Federer is not too big a surprise.
The return of the Big 4
So, this year's US Open is there surprise, the players in the Big 4 failure, and if so, who would be a "new Cilic"?
Djokovic in the nearest two Masters (Rogers Cup and Cincy) showed signs of fatigue after he had sprung the maximum capacity at Roland Garros (lost to Wawrinka in the final) and Wimbledon (Federer won in the final). Djokovic is very good at finding points fall performances, may be somewhat offset.
Federer has decided to adjust, to find opportunities here, but the most obvious is that you completely break after Wimbledon and just back from Cincy Masters (championship). It will help you recover to get the top level in two weeks. Federer's problems need a little luck.
Andy Murray has some wondering whether he was the best physical condition or not while since the beginning of the year he played 65 matches (at most), and a lower projected Murray Jonas Bjorkman tutelage of coach, play-minded the really effective when meeting those attacks are better (as a loser against Federer at Wimbledon and Cincy Masters)?
With Nadal, US Open Grand Slam success was the second Spanish player in the last 5 years (after Roland Garros). But there's no reason to put Nadal in the top candidates when he meets a lot of psychological problems, physical, form.
First, the raw Cilic chance to win again? Cilic has declined seamlessly throughout a year that is not the reason why he was satisfied. The real cause lies in the class, and fighting style are less secure, and unstable.
Wawrinka, who has two Grand Slam in the last time, did not have many opportunities to create miracles in the US Open. First, in his play does not fit the field as fast as in the US Open (and Wimbledon). Secondly Wawrinka were significantly affected after the incident but Nick Kyrgios created in Rogers Cup (tennis players Thanasi Kokkinakis say slept with his girlfriend Wawrinka), the Swiss tennis player who almost lost all the files his medium.
The group of rising young tennis players in recent years as Dimitrov, Kyrgios, Raonic or has leveled off, or psychological instability, personality certainly need a lot of luck and if you want to create a mutant real shock .
The ability to drill two Grand Slam champion and the young players are not above seem large by comparison with Berdych, Tsonga, Gasquet, who otherwise Grand Slam champion will be a huge surprise.
US Open 2015 so it could be the back of someone in the Big 4.
