Agassi is probably the most versatile but only captured one major this year. Probably a bit of a disappointment given how well he started this year and how well he is generally playing. After that you have Hewitt, Rafter, Safin, Kafelnikov, and Sampras who all very dangerous and capable of great runs. However none of them can dominate like a true number 1. It's still wide open and newcomers like the exciting Andy Roddick are pressing hard.
Parity is alive and well in men's tennis.
It was not a great U.S. Open for Canadians compared to the significant success that we have enjoyed in doubles over the past few years. Daniel Nestor and Sebastien Lareau went out in the 2nd round with different partners. Jana Nejedly put in a strong effort in the women's singles competition though. She said during the tournament that she has changed her mind about retiring and will play for another two years. That's good news if she can keep playing the way she did in New York.
