Looking fit as can be, and tough as -- maybe even better than -- ever, No. 2-ranked Rafael Nadal pulled away from No. 1 Novak Djokovic 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 on Monday in a taut, tense U.S. Open final for his 13th Grand Slam title.

Facing her only test of the past two weeks, No. 1-seed Serena Williams overcame No. 2 Victoria Azarenka 7-5, 6-7 (6), 6-1 on Sunday for the U.S. Open championship, her 17th Grand Slam title.
