3 Good Youtube Videos on Tennis 1. Andy Murray Winning an Asian Triple Crown Great court coverage 2. Marat Safin vs. Pete Sampras 2000 US Open The comments about Safin learning to serve and volley seem dated. Maybe this match was the tactical turning point. 3.

Youtube Tennis for 10-9-2011 through 10-15-2011
1. Andy Murray d. Rafael Nadal 3-6, 6-2, 6-0 Some highlights from their final encounter in Tokyo. A good sign for Murray who looks poised to rise to #3 in the world.
