FROM THE US OPEN - The only common theme amongst the women who strode into the press room Sunday on a spring-like afternoon at Flushing Meadows was the pink hats or visors they wore promoting the WTA new campaign, "Get in Touch With Your Feminine Side."

Other than that, Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin-Hardenne, Maria Sharapova and Ashley Harkleroad have different agendas at the '03 US Open but all have something to prove.

The same goes for men Roger Federer and Mardy Fish, who chatted amiably Sunday but shared only one common thread - they both lost to Andy Roddick this summer.

If Belgians Clijsters and Henin-Hardenne manage to reach the final 13 days from now, they are going to be so exhausted by questions regarding their spat that they may end up smooching and hugging at net before the primetime final. But despite what either of them said in press conference, they are not thrilled with each other.
