2007 US Open Winners
Federer Captures the Fourth Straight U.S. Open Title
 In the end, though, the charismatic Djokovic crumbled in straight sets, a 20-year-old from Serbia more comfortable offering impersonations appearing continuously on YouTube than the prime time stage of the United States Open.
He was not ready for the inimitable Roger Federer.
At 26 and the No.1 player in the world for the last 187 weeks, Federer took advantage of Djokovic’s mistakes, capturing a 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-4 victory that gave him his 12th Grand Slam title and his fourth straight Open title.
Federer became the first man in the Open era to win four straight titles, the first since Bill Tilden won six straight U.S. national titles from 1920 to 1925. Federer is now within two titles to tie Pete Sampras for the all-time career lead and even he was a bit overwhelmed with the moment.
A Dominant Victory for Henin
 Justine Henin was dressed in the colors of a deep orange sunset, a simple banner of farewell that she had already waved at a pair of Williams sisters during this United States Open.
Then, in just one hour 22 minutes last night, Henin eclipsed No. 4 Svetlana Kuznetsova, capturing her second Open title and her seventh major title with a 6-1, 6-3 triumph in Arthur Ashe Stadium that left her with just one place to go.
Henin, the world’s No. 1 player, jogged off the court and easily climbed over the court wall to her box, not noticing the security guard tumbling behind her the way other powerful players did in her wake. There, she hugged her coach and confidant of 11 years, Carlos Rodriguez, and allowed herself to celebrate, publicly, a very private achievement.
