Have fun today kids, but remember, fruit can be just as fun as candy! Caro has been the most impressive player this week. It would be more fitting for her to be in Serena's place right now.
Simona pretty much stands no chance whatsoever of recovering this match now. Serena will have to seriously fold for that to happen.
Serena definitely not over the loss yet. Is clearly feeling the pressure of the situation. Can she pull herself together?
Surrounded by a dozen people, including three police officers, Maria Sharapova strode the grounds of the U.S. Open on Sunday, doing a champion's duties.
And, much to her chagrin, Sharapova was asked to address again the apparent signals she received from her father and her hitting partner during matches at the Open, including holding up four fingers or waving a banana.
In-match coaching isn't allowed in tennis, but she and her agent offered this explanation: Sharapova focuses so much on the task at hand when she plays that she sometimes forgets to drink as much as she should to stay hydrated -- and the hand signals were simply meant as a reminder.
When asked about it after the final, Sharapova deflected the question, saying it wasn't what she wanted to be talking about on a night she earned a major championship.
