Rafter, looking like a Samurai warrior with a pony tail and a mangy beard that he grew during the tournament, has a game tailor-made for the hard, fast courts and hard, fast balls of the U.S. Open...

"I let you down," the President told Democratic donors in Orlando. "I let my family down. I let this country down. I'm trying to make it right. I'm determined to never let anything like that happen again...
