Tennis! It's the U.S. Open, one of the greatest prizes in the game, and today on the Yahoo! Sports podcast we've got our very own Chris Chase, proprietor of the fine Busted Racquet blog, to discuss all things nets-and-balls. We start with a discussion of where the Open itself ranks among all majors, segueing from there into discussion about how this could be a landmark tournament. Between the return of Serena Williams, always a good story no matter what she's wearing, and the rise of worldbeating Novak Djokovic, you could be seeing one legend retake the throne and another grab hold of it for the first time.
Also in the discussion: is Roger Federer done? What's going on in Rafael Nadal's head? Is American tennis on the wane? And what's up with all the grunting, huh?
