Cover Story
Will the Brit's writ run this time?
Everything appears in order - to the British fan at least - for Murray's coronation as a Grand Slam champion. Murray has always felt at home in New York, a city he loves so much he takes a bus to Flushing Meadows before the tournament starts. The fast surface accentuates the strengths of his game, writes S. Ram Mahesh.

Tennis
INTERVIEW/TOMAS BERDYCH
‘My favourite one will always be Wimbledon'
“I think it's still a lot of hard work before I get to the spot of number four or even higher. Right now I am eight and in this position it's tough to even move one step,” says Tomas Berdych in this email interview to Ayon Sengupta.

Cricket
TRI-SERIES
Perera's deadly spell
There was a definite gain for Sri Lanka in the form of pace-bowling all-rounder Thisara Perera. He operated to a probing line around the off-stump, swung and seamed the ball both ways. S. Dinakar reports.
LANKA DIARY
Controversies aplenty
This ODI competition has not been short of controversies. First the Suraj Randiv no-ball incident and then Dhoni's strange attitude towards the media. Over to S. Dinakar.

LONDON CALLING
True entertainers
David Beckham and Muttiah Muralitharan are great sporting figures and their fame is likely to live forever, writes Ted Corbett.

Football
KICKING AROUND
The end of Beckhamitis
David Beckham should have been dealt out of the game as long as five years ago. The sad truth being that Beckham, as an outside right had long become a one trick pony. With no pace to speak of, little ability ever to beat the opposing fullback on the outside, with the aim of getting to the by-line and pulling back the most dangerous pass in the game, he was reduced to his one major weapon, a superb right foot, writes Brian Glanville.
Luck on Anderson's side
By his own admission, the 22-year-old was “very lucky” to emerge unhurt following a horrific car crash in Portugal late in July and wants to make the most of it.
