The only time Nadal appears vulnerable on court is when he’s prone! Unfortunately, for his opponents, he’s prone after the fact! Nadal celebrates on court on beating Novak Djokovic. |
|

|
The T-shirt and the expression says it all! I wonder if Novak’s dad had a number of these tees or whether it was the same one laundered and re-worn! Does it really matter as long as your son gets to the final? Besides, I’m not sitting near him, am I? |
|
|
| The seats were blue too! A veritable sea of blue! A truly colour-coordinated Open. |
|
|
|
Rafael Nadal has a sister and no, she’s not muscle-bound! Mother and daughter make a winning pair! Mar a Isabel Nadal and Ana Mar a Parera, Rafael Nadal’s sister and mother, at the US Open men’s final. |
|
|
| The WAGS seem to smile only when they’re on the big screen! The tennis has them down in the doldrums! Maria Perello , better known as Nadal’s girl Friday, grinning for the camera! |
|
|
| No prizes for guessing which is the more cherished trophy? Jada ,on the left, the US Open on the right! Kim does have her hands full! |
|
|
|
Vera just didn’t feel the heat all the way to the finals and just to prove it… Check out her uber cool track suit! |
|
|
| Serena , calm and cool in the stands! She was there to cheer sister Venus , all the way to the semis. And looked really chic doing it! |
|
|
|
The doubles final saw the Pakistani , Indian and The Star and Stripes on centre court. Truly flagging it for posterity! |
 |
|
The Manhattan skyline, never looked better. An Autumn In New York! |
 |
| The replica of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center , in flour! Having your cake and eating it too! The Ace Of Cakes indeed! |
 |
| I guess the fans would just hate me leaving out Wozniacki’s tiny , tiny outfit. A pity she couldn’t mini it all the way to the final! But she did max out the mini! |
 |
| The spectators and commentators loved the air venting system that Venus designed for her on-court outfit. And in pink too! |
 |
| The vans may have had RF’s mug adorning them but it was Rafa who had the last laugh! His name decorated the trophy for the first time, completing a career Slam! |
 |
| Now, this is sports photography! Sharapova, in all her helicoptered glory! |
 |
| Yes, that’s what the racquet can be used for as well! A stand-up prop! Vera Zvonareva rises to the occasion with some help! |
 |
| “This seats are meant for sleeping! That is , what I’ll do! “ A fan takes an afternoon siesta , from the tennis, from the sun, from the heat! |
 |
| I’ll let you into a secret! It was the wind that got Roger’s goat! You don’t believe me? Take a look! |
 |
| Oh, yes! The deodorant hasn’t worn off yet! I’m still smelling like roses! Maria Kirilenko knows that every point takes her breath away! Ask Djokovic! |
 |
| A fan with a fan! Fanning the wind away? |
