IT’S called the US Open, and the crowd is definitely from New York, but the clothing on the court is decidedly Japanese.

Stan Wawrinka, wearing Yonex, thrilled fans with a four-set victory over world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, sponsored by Uniqlo. The semi-finals featured another Uniqlo athlete, Kei Nishikori, and Gael Monfils, who is backed by Asics.
