News and notes from the U.S. Open

8

Novak Djokovic is up two sets over No. 15 David Ferrer, but not the easy way. The third seed has called for a trainer, added and then discarded a white baseball cap, asked the chair umpire to hush the crowd, and at one point moved so poorly he looked ready to retire.

However you look at it, the Serbian is not doing a happy moonwalk into tomorrow’s final. During the hottest part of one of warmest days of the U.S. Open this year, whoever wins this match may be at a disadvantage when it comes to the main event.
