One last chance.

With the Olympic excitment fading and fall classes starting, there is still good reason for the modest sports fan to keep paying attention. While the Olympics gave the slowest time of the year for proffessional sports a much needed boost, the culmination of summer would never be complete without the start of America's biggest tennis tournament, the U.S. Open. This year the drama is especially high with four time defending champion Roger Federer coming in seeded number 2. While Rafael Nadal has more than earned the number 1 overall ranking, it is outragous to seed a man who has one this Championship four years in a row, number 2. The stage is set for these two champions to meet in the final, giving Federer one last chance to slow down Nadal's inevitable take over of the tennis world, and defend the only major title he still holds.
