US Open: Novak Djokovic

The US Open started two weeks ago and due to the heavy rains from last week the Men's Single Final - normally held on Sunday was moved to today. I've been posting a handsome photo of a male tennis player each day of play (with the exception of yesterday - 9/11) and it seemed fitting to conclude these posts with the world's no. 1 tennis player, Novak Djokovic.

Novak has had an amazing year winning the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and rallied against Federer this weekend in the semifinals of this tournament to come from behind and win. If he wins today in NY he will have won 3 of the 4 Majors in the 2011 - an amazing feat and in large part the reason he has the no. 1 ranking.

I love watching Djokovic play not only because he is so gifted, but he brings a lot of personality to the game of tennis. He's clearly a ham. In the past he's been known to mimic other tennis players (all in good fun of course) and this year at the Open he's been known to dance after his wins which only gets the already loud crowd in NY cheering even more.
