Federer is back! The veterans prevail: Roger Federer, 5-time U.S. Open champion, and Serena Williams, 3-time U.S. Open champion, take the title in straight sets from two new competitors, Andy Murray and Jelena Jankovic, both players who have never been in a Grand Slam final before. Playing with post-Australian-Open-semifinal-lost style, Federer has taken his 3rd title and first Grand Slam of the year–a surprisingly bad year for his high standards. The matches were postponed by Hurrican Hanna’s winds and downpour, with the Sunday-scheduled Men’s Final played today.

This win will mark Federer’s 13th Grand Slam singles titles, and only one more and he’ll match Pete Sampras’ record! Of course, the young Scot Murray and the 21-year-old Serb Jankovic both have wonderful opportunities ahead of them as well.

Congratulations Federer on being the first person to win 5 straight Grand Slams in two different tournaments: Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
