MANILA, Philippines – Rafael Nadal showed off the fruits of his effort – his latest hardware – in New York’s Central Park. Nadal captured his 13th Grand Slam singles crown by defeating Novak Djokovic for the U.S. Open men’s title. The Spaniard earned his second major championship this season following his French Open triumph, sealing the win in four sets. Since re-emerging at a low-key clay court tournament in Chile in February, the Spaniard has been virtually unstoppable, winning 10 titles and proving that his knees can withstand the pounding of hardcourt tennis. -- Mornings @ ANC, September 11, 2013
