Photo Gallery: Stars Come Out for U.S. Open

Rafael Nadal

This weekend at the U.S. Open, Australia's Samantha Stosur won the women's finals, and in men's tennis Rafael Nadal and his sublime badonkadonk beat perpetual Grand Slam bridesmaid Andy Murray. Meanwhile, number one seeded Novak Djokovic vanquished the past-his-prime but sentimental favorite Roger Federer. Exciting matches, but the weekend was probably as noteworthy for its flubs and altercations as it was for its tennis: There was Serena Williams blowing up at an umpire during the women's finals. And Cyndi Lauper forgetting the lyrics to the "Star Spangled Banner."

This weekend was also notable for how many celebrities were in the crowd. From Alec Badwin to Bradley Cooper, to Anna Wintour to Piff Duddy, you couldn't throw a tennis ball into the stands without hitting someone famous.

On this and the pages that follow we have highlights from the weekend, plus a bit of celebrity crowd surfing. Hopefully that will get you in the mood for this afternoon's men's final between Nadal and Djokovic. I'm rooting for Raffi. Who would you like to see win?
