NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Well, the US Open had it’s first big upset and got less interesting in the process. Tatiana Golovin was upset Monday night 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 by Ahsha Rolle. Things looked bright when Golovin rolled in the second set but it fell apart in the third.
It gets worse for Golovin, she was a quarterfinalist last year and will drop in the rankings when her points from 2006 fall off. Golovin was projected to meet Dinara Safina in the third round in what would have been a highly entertaining match. After Tatiana reached the semis in Toronto and had Mats Wilander as her coach, she had high expectations placed on her for this year. Hopefully she will bounce back and finish the year on a strong note.
