We witnessed an absolutely eventful US Open this time, dotted with numerous incidents. Here's a pictorial compilation of all those moments in the singles draw which stood out and caught our attention during those 15 days.

Hope u can have a look into it.

Poulomee,

Sorry I never replied to your query about how I was till now. For about eight months I wasn't writing on B/R for a myriad of reasons. I've recently returned, and would love to start reading your fabulous work again. Please post a link to any new articles you have. I'll also peruse some of your more recent stuff this week...;-)

You are a Safin fan, and I haven't 'advertised' this article to you yet!

Surely it is a great result. Hope he will cut down a bit more for the time being, taking more rest, and be fit for title defence at the next.
