The article discusses the 2004 U.S. Open finals, in which Roger Federer was victorious in the men's match, and Svetlana Kuznetsova in the women's. On match point of Sunday's U.S. Open final, Roger Federer pivoted a step to his left and cocked his racket. As Lleyton Hewitt's serve arrived, Federer met the ball and brushed an immaculate slice backhand. Two strokes later Hewitt sent the ball fluttering back, and Federer sized up a forehand that would strafe the backcourt as it rocketed out of reach. It was just another brilliant shot for Federer, but it completed his 6--0, 7--6, 6--0 dissection of Hewitt and gilded one of the most majestic years in the history of men's tennis. Propelled by a pair of thick legs that leave little doubt that she comes from a family of cyclists, Kuznetsova, won 6--4, 7--5 over Dementieva in the Open final. She pulverizes the ball, particularly with her forehand. The same can safely be said of Federer. He is winning majors at a Samprassian clip, three this year alone, and members of the tennis kaffeeklatsch are fast exhausting their inventory of superlatives to describe his virtuosity. Throughout the tournament John McEnroe pronounced Federer "the best player I've ever laid eyes on." In a game filled with players who spray balls--sometimes dazzlingly, sometimes catastrophically--in the manner of Jackson Pollock, Federer plays impressionistic tennis: vivid, stylish strokes mixed with brilliant flourishes.

This article focuses on tennis player Roger Federer. Gustavo Kuerten is unlikely to recall this year fondly, hovering as he is on the fringes of the top 30. But the former world No. 1 from Brazil did pull off a feat that no other player achieved in 2004: He beat Roger Federer in a Grand Slam tournament. Were it not for that result in the third round of the French Open, Federer might well have won the Grand Slam--tennis's equivalent of batting .400--something that no male player has done since Rod Laver in 1969. Through Monday his 2004 match record was 64-6, and he had locked up the year-end No. 1 ranking. He won all nine tournament finals in which he appeared. As proof of his versatility, he won more than one title on every major surface. Plus, his rivalries with other stars were like the rivalries that chain saws have with trees: Federer won his last 17 matches against players ranked in the Top 10. Given that Federer just turned 23--the age at which most male players enter their prime--and that his game is essentially weakness-free, the tennis cognoscenti are within their rights to wonder whether he will someday win the mythical title Best Ever. INSET: A Major Partnership.
