* Djokovic cruises past Ferrer in comeback

****** TODAY’S MEN’S NEWS ******

U. S. Open

Singles – Semifinal: (2) N Djokovic def. (1) D Ferrer 2-6 6-1 6-4 6-2
People have complained about the delay of this semifinal. But it is now reported that there were two tornados yesterday in the New York area. It seems pretty clear that they had to get people under cover.
But what a disappointment for David Ferrer! He actually seemed to be on his way to a U. S. Open final, leading 5-2 in the first set. Novak Djokovic, given the chance to rest and regroup overnight, did just that. The rest of the match was a trouncing, with very little to say about it.
Ferrer remains at his seemingly-permanent ranking of #5. Still, he is only 1600 points behind Rafael Nadal, and Nadal is out for at least two months. So maybe Ferrer could actually become the #1 Spaniard later this year.
Novak Djokovic remains #2, but he is back in the U. S. Open final. He’ll still be #2 even if he wins that, but he’ll open a big, big lead in the Race. If he wins it, the final is likely to settle, in practical terms, the year-end #1. In the rankings, Roger Federer can only lose points for the rest of the year, and Djokovic can add, and the gap between them will be small after the Open….
