I wonder if the Americans noticed or thought it was a French word with that accent he has ....

that was a beauty. Stan's even higher in my estimation now

Azarenka looking devoid of ideas now.

Maybe she should take a 'get her head together' er I mean medical timeout.

This women's final is a classic, come on Vika

Technical analysis shows the biggest difference is unforced backhand errors by Novak!

Forecast for Flushing Meadows Corona Park is about 65F, 10mph wind, and 10% chance of rain. I am guessing windy conditions will likely favour Nadal.

That was spectacular tennis!

I have never seen Nadal play like this before. He looked better than ever. No longer just content to play baseline to baseline topspin rallies. Those flat cross-court angled shots seemed new additions to his arsenal.

I still can't believe Novak lost the third set. After that, it looked he lost his will to fight.

Well worth the trip, this US Open.
