But today's final between world no.1 Serbian Novak Djokovic and world no.2 Spaniard Rafael Nadal is going to be something different and intense.
Last year it was Djokovic who was ditched by Britain's Andy Murray in the final - but this year Murray had been knocked out and out of the Flushing Meadows - leaving the Arthur Ashe stadium open to to top seeded giants of the world of tennis.
It will be the 37th meeting of their careers — the most times in the Open era that any two men have played. Tonight, Nadal will be going for his 13th major title, Djokovic his seventh. Djokovic and Nadal, who have been dominant over the last 15 slams, will be meeting for the 37th time in the championship showdown, surpassing McEnroe and Lendl for the most clashes since tennis turned professional 45 years ago.
Although today's final will help Djokovic to sustain a hard hitting final against Nadal after Djokovic stood to his feet for 4-hour, 9-minute five-set match against Stanislas Wawrinka in the semifinals, Nadal is still considered by many as the hot favourite.
The match is scheduled for September 9, 2013 at 21:00 GMT at the Arthur Ashe stadium.
