The BIG battle @ The BIG apple~~Begins tonight!



And so in less than 3 hours time, the final showpiece Tennis event of the calendar year would get underway.

A chance for Rafa to make an even stronger statement that the fact his name appears on the top of the tree (as far as 'draws' are concerned) is richly deserved, Nole gets to add another Slam to his tally on his favoured surface, Roddick gets another opportunity to take help of the boisterous NY crowd to win the Slam that he's won in '03 and yes, a certain Roger Federer will be hoping that he wont go an entire calendar year without winning a major!

Amidst all this, it would only be fair to keep an eye on a certain JMD Potro. For the uninitiated, the bloke has been on a tremendous winning spree and I'd appreciate if you guys did some 'googling' yourself [;)] to find out how good the guy's been in the past 2 months or so!

Nonetheless, as the pic suggests, chances are high that the focus will continue to remain on the Emperor and the Challenger. Btw, the Emperor's name happens to be Rafael Nadal while the Challenger happens to Roger Federer.

Times have changed, no? [:)]

Another day....Another Grand Slam.....Another loss for Federer. Guess he should switch to doubles. At least his partner will earn some victories for him.
