All I want to see at the end of the tourney is Nadal biting the rim/handle of the trophy.
For the ladies, I hope the Russian damsel(Maria) wins it.But wont be suprised if the new M.J-in-the-making, Serena wins it. infact I even expect she gonna win it.

Top seed and No. 1 Rafael Nadal is the favourite but then, historically, Nadal doesnt do well in Flushing Meadows. He has never played in the finals. Besides, his form has dropped since Wimbledon. He was knocked out in the semis in the Toronto Masters by A Murray and was nowhere to be found in the Cincinati Masters.
Federer on the other hand has been enjoying some sort of renaisance lately. He was runner-up to Murray in Toronto and also won the Cincinati Masters. He has played in the last 6 finals of the US open, winning 5 and coming runner-up to Del Potro last year. I expect to see him in the finals again

Another thing that will count in Federers favour is that Del Potro, the man he lost to last year is out of the competition through injury.
Also, I expect homeboy, Andy Roddick to do very well. He has woken up since his fall from the top ten and he is now ranked 9.

Andy Roddick ke?

thats just like saying the 3 LIons have improved and will be able to beat Spain

hell no

Serena would not be playing; she's injured. Henin is also out.

Sadly, in the women's draw, almost everyone has a chance of winning. There's no clear favorite.
