8.22pm: Weather news: Bad news for fans of those who enjoy lengthy chats about the lack of lavatorial realism in modern cinema – it's not raining. We should start, bang on schedule, at 9pm UK time (4pm in New York, New York)
Preamble Evening all. Are you well. Good, good. Me? I'm dandy, or at least I was until I spilled most of my cuppa all over my desk. You'll be pleased to hear that it's all been mopped up (using, for it was closest to hand, a picture of Jussi Jaasekelainen) and that they keyboard area is clear for US Open final action.
And what a final it should be. The No1 seed, No1 in the world, reigning Wimbledon champion and reigning Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic against the No2 seed, No2 in the world, reigning French Open champion and reigning US Open champion Rafael Nadal.
It's a repeat of the 2010 final at Flushing Meadows, won by Rafael Nadal in four sets. After that victory the Spaniard went on to beat the Serb at the World Tour Finals in London, but since then it has been all one-way traffic, traffic that has left tyre-tracks on a pair of pirate pants:
BAM! Djokovic wins in three sets in the Masters final at Indian Wells
DOOSH!! Djokovic wins in three sets in the Masters final in Miami
WHUMP!!! Djokovic wins in straight sets in the Masters final in Madrid
OOF!!!! Djokovic wins in straight sets in the Masters final in Rome
And, most impressively of all …
KERRRR-POW!!!!! Djokovic wins in four sets in the Wimbledon final
