...begins this week in New York is unlikely to repeat the bizarre results of Wimbledon, where the men's seeds toppled like ninepins in the first week, leaving Argentine David Nalbandian to face world No. 1 Hewitt in the final. One match whose outcome is certain is Wimbledon champion Serena Williams' first-round contest against Corina Morariu. Only 16 months ago Morariu was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Aidan O'Brien's horses have such a record of winning big races that other trainers are now almost reluctant to put their charges up against them. When O'Brien entered his colt Hawk Wing in the prestigious Eclipse Stakes at Sandown, England, a week ago, with stablemate Sholokhov as his pacemaker, they faced only three other horses.
