Maria Sharapova at the New York Fashion Week

Image
Maria Sharapova was a busy girl during the New York Fashion Week . She attended the Phillip Lim for Target runway show, 10th annual Style Awards, joined Ana Wintour and Alicia Keys and Jessica Pare at the Jason Wu show and attended a Porsche Party . Interesting how Maria mixed up her looks during the Fashion Week. From a chic in a navy skater skirt from the Phillip Lim for Target collection, matching sweater and white court shoes at the Lim show to a long-sleeved, black A-line frock dress featuring sheer, floral lace around the neckline at the Wu event and a simple, chic little black dress at the Porsche event. She finished her look with a pair of white court shoes. Photo credits: individually noted. Alicia Keys, Anna Wintour, Maria Sharapova  Photo: Ben Gabbe/Getty Images North America

US Open in Pictures: Richard Gasquet vs Milos Raonic

Image
The highlight of our Labour Day trip to the NYC came on Monday night, after hours of rain delays, in the form on the Round of 16 match between Richard Gasquet and Milos Raonic on Court 17. Raonic led two sets to one, was up a break in the fourth set and later had a match point in the tiebreak, but the match ended up going the distance before Gasquet won 6-7 (4), 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-6 (9), 7-5.

US Open in Pictures: Novak Djokovic

Image
Nova Djokovic (in UNIQLO) vs Joao Sousa , 6-0 6-2 6-2. Sadly, this was the only match we got to see while in NYC and my camera battery died soon after the warm up, so not too much variety here. I guess that was a message from the Tennis Gods to put the camera down, sit back and enjoy the beauty of Novak's game since the result was never in doubt. See also, a visit to UNIQLO 5th Avenue: The Novak Djokovic Collection . All photos by MegiMK. More after the jump.

Photos from the Ana Ivanovic vs Christina McHale (both sponsored by adidas ) 3rd Round US Open match. Ivanovic won 4-6 7-5 6-4 and moved on to the next round to face Vikroria Azarenka. That match was scheduled on Monday, our last day at the Open, but due to the lenghty rain delay ended up being played the following day. As a result, these are the only photos of Ana we have.
