Kim Clijsters and Rafael Nadal punctuated the second week of the last grandslam of the year by dominating wins in the US Open finals. Kim Clijsters won her US Open back to back titles against Vera Zvonareva with 6-1, 6-2 victory. Rafael Nadal on the other hand needs to wait another day for his match against Novak Djokovic because of rain. However, when they got back for the match, Nadal simply tore down the Serb with 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 win.

With the victory Kim Clijsters won her third US Open, her third grand slam titles overall. She also became the 1^st woman to defend a US Open title in 9 nine years, the same feat that Venus Williams achieved in 2000-2001.

“It’s always an honor to go back to a place, especially a Grand Slam, where you’ve done well and you’ve won, and you want to bring your best tennis again,” Clijsters said. “I know if I bring my best, I’m capable of beating the best players.”

Clijsters took home $2.2 million and an opportunity to share the celebration with Jada again in the awarding ceremony. While, Vera Zvonareva, will continue seeking her maiden grandslam title next year after finishing runner-up in Wimbledon and US Open this year.

Meanwhile in the men’s division, Rafael Nadal rewrites history by winning his 1^st US Open title and completed his career grandslam. He became the 7^th man to achieve a career grandslam joining a list of legends that includes his nemesis Roger Federer, Andrei Agassi, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver, Don Budge and Fred Perry. Nadal has already five French Open titles, one Australian, two Wimbledon and one US Open title under his belt and he is only 24.

It's a dream to have the career Grand Slam, but this is more dream to have the US Open," Nadal said.

"Is unbelievable feeling because I worked a lot all my life, in all the difficult moments, to be here but I never imagined having the four Grand Slams.

"This one is very special to me because it was the last one remaining."

Experts are predicting that he can win more slams than Federer and can be considered as the best tennis player of all time.
