U.S. Open now Open

One of our favourite sporting events starts today with Wenzel contributor Bassano del Grappa's countrywoman Maria Elena Camerin taking on Justine Henin-Hardenne, the tournament favourite. Both del Grappa and Camerin are from the Venice area and our office space has already given itself over to Italian passion.

But yes, we always seem to enjoy the U.S. Open. Maybe it's because of the drama and atmosphere of New York, maybe its the tension and storylines that come from the season ending tournament itself. Can Federer hold-off Nadal? Can Agassi enjoy one last special ride before he retires? Can Marat Safin finally clear his head and win again where he won his first slam? What about up-and-coming players like Andy Murray or Gael Monfils? Or the Andy Roddick show?
