Novak Djokovic matched his nearly perfect season with an almost flawless performance in Monday’s US Open final, beating Rafael Nadal.

Roger Federer insists he hasn’t been fretting about when or — perhaps more to the point — if he will win a 17th Grand Slam championship.

After a series of health scares, four-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams is not playing to win — or so she says.
