US Open 2006

There was no stopping the coronation in Queens. Through precise and powerful groundstrokes, punctuated by a shriek, Maria Sharapova would have her second Grand Slam title, this one near her spiritual Madison Avenue home. Her 6-4, 6-4 win over No. 2 Justine Henin-Hardenne was complete Saturday night, she gave another scream — this time for joy.
