Day 14 (September 11) edit

In remembrance of the September 11 attacks, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and the US Open have, among other things, painted the digits "9/11/01" on Arthur Ashe Stadium two days in advance of Day 14's scheduled women's final.[10] The players at the US Open have also been given a white US Open cap with the digits "9/11/01" in black block figures on the side of the cap.[10] For the men's final originally scheduled for 11 September, the USTA had planned for the finalists to walk through a path lined by an honor guard of New York police officers, firefighters, and Port Authority police.[11] The USTA also had planned for the men's final a moment of silence, a military flyover, and the unfurling of a court-sized U.S. flag at Arthur Ashe Stadium, and these events were remain as part of the women's final.[11] Cyndi Lauper contributed by singing the national anthem at the Williams–Wozniacki semifinal match on September 10, and Queen Latifah did the same at the women's final, the Williams–Stosur match.[12]
