  导出博客文章NEW YORK -- Echoes. Long after the USTA demolishes Louis Armstrong Stadium, work
  that will begin immediately after the conclusion of this US Open, the echoes
  will remain. They will resound even after a state-of-the-art roofed stadium is
  built and inaugurated on the venerable Armstrong footprint in 2018.Younger
  tennis fans might not even know that Armstrong, originally built for the 1964
  Worlds Fair and called the Singer Bowl after the sewing machine manufacturer,
  was the main stadium of the US Open until 1996. When Arthur Ashe Stadium was
  completed and put to service in 1997, Armstrong became the subordinate. It
  continued to produce thrilling matches, many of which lasted well into the
  morning hours.The very first match on Armstrong was between Bjorn Borg and Bob
  Hewitt. The final one was a quarterfinal mens doubles clash Tuesday between the
  Hall of Fame American team of Bob and Mike Bryan and Feliciano Lopez and Marc
  Lopez (they arent related) to close out an era.Everyone probably has a list of
  favorite Armstrong matches. Here is our top 10 countdown:No. 10: 1993 second
  round, Mats Wilander d. Mikael Pernfors 7-6 (3), 3-6, 1-6, 7-6 , 6-4This
  match didnt even start until 10:26 p.m. Pernfors, a Swede who had played
  collegiate tennis at the University of Georgia and won the hearts of many fans
  with his appealing clay-court game, was in the midst of a comeback. Wilander, a
  fellow Swede who had lost his drive after becoming No. 1 in 1988, was also
  trying to reinvent himself. Mounting a furious comeback, Wilander finally won
  the match before a sparse but enthralled and enthusiastic clutch of fans at 2:26
  a.m.No. 9: 1995 final, Steffi Graf d. Monica Seles 7-6 , 0-6, 6-3This match
  was tantalizing because it featured one of the most remarkable, and bizarre,
  backstories in tennis history. Seles had been successfully challenging Grafs
  supremacy until a deranged Graf fan stabbed Seles during a match two years
  earlier. The US Open was just Seles second tournament, and first Grand Slam,
  back on tour. When Seles blanked Graf in the second set and it appeared that she
  might be picking up right where she left off, Graf roared back to win her 18th
  career Grand Slam singles title.No. 8: 1984 semifinals, Ivan Lendl d. Pat Cash
  3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (4)This match was one of four epic battles on what
  still might be the greatest and certainly most competitive day in Open tennis
  history. This Super Saturday began at 11:07 a.m. with Stan Smith defeating John
  Newcombe in the senior mens semifinals 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. Later, Martina Navratilova
  captured her second straight US Open singles title, defeating Chris Evert 4-6,
  6-4, 6-4. John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors ended the days play at 11:14 p.m. with
  McEnroe eliminating the two-time defending champion in a five-set barnburner.
  But the first semifinal featuring Lendl and Cash was the most thrilling match of
  them all, with Lendl surviving a match point to win it. Lendl played eight US
  Open finals in a row starting in 1982, winning three.No. 7: 1980 final, John
  McEnroe d. Bjorn Borg 7-6 (4), 6-1, 6-7 (5), 5-7, 6-4This was McEnroes second
  straight US Open title, but the path to it was agonizing. He dismantled rival
  Ivan Lendl in four sets in a quarterfinal, eliminated Jimmy Connors in one of
  their epic five-setters in the semifinals, and finally whipped Borg in final.
  McEnroe avenged his loss to Borg in the Wimbledon final of a few months earlier.
  Borg would not be the same player again after this final.No. 6 1981 final, Tracy
  Austin d. Martina Navratilova 1-6, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (1)This was the 100th
  anniversary of the U.S. Championship. Fittingly, Americans would claim both
  singles titles as well as the mens and womens doubles titles. One day before
  McEnroe defeated Borg in the mens final for the second year running and drove
  Borg from the game, 18-year old Austin also toppled an icon. The blonde
  youngster from Rolling Hills, California, had barged right into the developing
  rivalry between Chris Evert and Navratilova, rattling both veterans. Navratilova
  was just coming to the peak of her powers at the time of this match and playing
  in her first US Open final. She attacked relentlessly, but Austins accuracy,
  consistency and nerve were too much. Navratilova, who had upset Evert in the
  semifinals, double-faulted on match point.No. 5: 1999 third round, Serena
  Williams d. Kim Clijsters 4-6, 6-2, 7-5This was the year 17-year-old Williams
  went on to win her first US Open title, and she remembers this three-setter on
  Armstrong well. No one knew who Kim Clijsters was at the time, Williams said.
  She became such a wonderful, great player. I was just on the come-up myself.
  That propelled me to win my first Open. Thats something Ill never forget.No. 4:
  1992 semifinals, Stefan Edberg d. Michael Chang 6-7 (3), 7-5, 7-6 (3), 5-7,
  6-4This match was the centerpiece of one of the greatest ironman runs in Open
  tennis history. Edberg had rebounded from fifth-set deficits against Richard
  Krajicek in the round of 16 and Ivan Lendl in the quarterfinals. In the
  semifinals he faced the same hopeless situation against one of the toughest,
  most consistent players on tour. Chang had a reputation as indefatigable, but
  Edberg found stamina even he didnt know he possessed to outlast Chang in the
  longest match in US Open history, five hours and 26 minutes. Edberg went on to
  defeat 1990 US Open champ Pete Sampras in the final.No. 3: 1996 quarterfinals,
  Pete Sampras d. Alex Corretja 7-6 (5), 5-7, 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (7)This was the last
  year Armstrong was the main stadium at the US Open. Sampras was an established
  talent by this point, and Corretja a young Spanish clay-court artisan. Some
  critics still felt that it all came too easily for Sampras, that he was not
  prepared to dig deep and leave it all out on the court in order to win. But in
  this match, Sampras demonstrated that his heart was as big as his serve. He
  overcame a spirited opponent, dehydration and cramps. At one point he retreated
  to the back of the court and vomited. Woozy and struggling to focus, he still
  managed to win in a fifth-set tiebreaker. It showed the tennis world that I have
  heart, Sampras later said of that remarkable performance.No. 2: 1991 fourth
  round, Jimmy Connors d. Aaron Krickstein 3-6, 7-6 , 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4)This
  match might not have had the superb shot-making or big-picture resonance of some
  on this list, but who hasnt seen it repeated during a US Open rain delay (in the
  pre-roof era) or cited in any number of documentaries? Connors was 39 years old,
  and it was his birthday. He roared back from a 5-2 deficit in the fifth set as
  the crowd sang Happy Birthday. This match was the apex of Connors remarkable run
  at that US Open. Its resolution was as improbable as a feel-good sports movie,
  even if it left Krickstein feeling lousy, like he had been reduced to a prop in
  the narrative created by a man whom he considered a friend and mentor.No. 1:
  1988 final, Mats Wilander d. Ivan Lendl 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4This match was
  played on a Monday, which unfairly diminished its impact. Its the least
  acknowledged of all the greatest tennis matches. But it is right up there on the
  short list of the most compelling tennis matches of this or any other era. At
  four hours and 55 minutes, its still the longest singles final in US Open
  history. Lendl was well-nigh invincible at the US Open by then, having won the
  three previous finals. But Wilander was in the midst of his career year. A win
  in the final would earn him the No. 1 ranking for the first time in his career
  and make him one of the few men in tennis history to win three majors in the
  same year (Wilander never did win Wimbledon).The match was a brilliant struggle
  in which each player freely changed tactics each time his opponent seemed to
  gain some comfort. Games were fought over as bitterly as sets. Unforced errors
  were scarce. That Wilander seemed a David against Lendls Goliath only enhanced
  the occasion. Winning the match took so much out of Wilander that he soon went
  into a motivation and rankings swoon from which he never really recovered.

  . And when it opened, every player was at his stall. Thats a sure sign that a
  team is in a slump and is searching for answers. "Its embarrassing to be at home
  and play the way we did," said defenceman Josh Gorges.
  http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Ethan-Westbrooks-Jersey/
  . But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement
  in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout
  victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday.
  http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-John-Johnson-Jersey/
  . With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams
  iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the
  nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at
  his position.
  http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Nolan-Cromwell-Jersey/
  . Duchene scored two goals and had an assist, helping the Colorado Avalanche
  beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 on Friday night to match the best 10-game start
  in team history.
  http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Cory-Littleton-Jersey/
  . With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw
  provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating
  Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday. It was a victory that ended a decade of frustration
  for Parker and a talented French generation, which lost the final against Spain
  two years ago and took bronze in 2005. CHARLESTON, Ill. -- Demetrius McReynolds
  scored 18 points with four assists as Eastern Illinois beat NAIA St. Francis
  (ILL) 83-41 in a season opener on Friday night.McReynolds was 7 of 8 from the
  field, including two from distance for the Panthers. Montell Goodwin added 15
  points and Muusa Dama led the team in rebounds with nine in addition to scoring
  six points. The Panthers averaged 55.4 percent from the field and 65 percent
  from the line.Eastern Illinois took a 40-22 lead at the break.dddddddddddd In
  the second period, McReynolds, Goodwin and Cornell Johnston combined for four
  3-pointers to help the Panthers to a 63-31 lead with 11:31 left to play and they
  cruised to the win from there.Jo Jo Ballestero scored 13 points for the Fighting
  Saints. Jean Pietrzak led the team with five rebounds.
