Even if, like me, you're predicting a Caroline Wozniacki win, it's patently impossible not to love Kim Clijsters. In a 2010 U.S. Open quarterfinals match that started late and ran later, she maintained her bubbly charm amid ghastly on-court conditions, defeating 5th-seeded Sam Stosur 6-4. 5-7, 6-3. (The evening's intangibles award went to Stosur's crisp purple Lacoste dress.) The ladies battled the weather at least as often as they battled each other; by the second set both players were displaying visible frustration with the windy stadium.
Kim Clijsters has now won 19 straight matches at Flushing Meadows, and will face Venus Williams in the semis.

Fashion question
Lime green shoes…acceptable or not acceptable? Even if you ARE Nadal. I’m thinking no.

Nothing Nadal wears is ever acceptable.
And he’s completely jacking Fed-Fed’s headband look at this point. Bring back your mincey kerchief, brah.
