The U.S. Open -- Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and...Liza Minelli?

Switzerland's Roger Federer did as expected and took out Serbia's Novak Djokovic in three sets at Sunday's US Open Men's Final. This gives Federer twelve Grand Slam wins, only two wins shy of tying Peter Sampras' all time fourteen Grand Slam titles. Given that Sampras retired at age 31, it seems that unless he is derailed by injury, the 26-year old Federer is almost a given to catch Sampras and become the greatest male player ever. (But Pete'll still be cuter!)

As for Liza, she was on hand to sing the national anthem!

Do you think Roger ever gets tired of lifting these things over his head?

I guess you could say Federer beat the "shirt" off Novak. It's late Sunday night. Sue me!

More pics after the jump!

Looks like an awkward "first date" photo.

Who knew tennis players "caught" air?

Liza's looking fierce!
