The Arthur Ashe Stadium glowed light blue from dusk until dawn as the US Open marked the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
American flags were flown at half-mast as New York remembered the 2,977 people who died when hijackers crashed passenger jets into the Twin Towers in Manhattan on that day in 2001.
That year's US Open had concluded just two days earlier, with Lleyton Hewitt winning the men's singles **** le.
American player James Blake had lost in the second round that year and was in Augusta, Georgia, on Tuesday, 11 September.
But the New York-born future world number four says the day "shattered the guise of safety" felt by Americans and many professional tennis players.

NEW YORK (AP) — Alexander Zverev rallied just in time to avoid becoming the first men's No. 1 seed to lose in the first round of a Grand Slam tournament since 2003, edging Lorenzo Sonego 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-5, 6-4 in a match that ended Wednesday morning.
Zverev won his first major **** le at the French Open, lost to top-ranked Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final, then became the No. 1 seed in a major for the first time when Sinner had to withdraw with a right knee injury.
He couldn't cash in on repeated chances to break Sonego's serve for much of the night and was in danger of becoming the first top-seeded man to fall in his first match in a major since Ivo Karlovic beat Lleyton Hewitt at Wimbledon in 2003.
It hasn't happened at the U.S. Open since Stefan Edberg lost to Alexander Volkov in 1990. Zverev finally broke through against Sonego's serve late to pull out the match in 4 hours, 52 minutes.
Zverev is 7-0 against Sonego, an Italian who came in 1-9 against top-10 men in Grand Slams. But Sonego's speed around the court allowed him to track down **** that on other nights would have been winners, and he came up with enough clutch serves to make Zverev just 5 for 22 on break points for the match.

Manchester United youngster Jack Moorhouse has agreed a deal to join Dundee on loan for the remainder of the season.
Moorhouse was on the brink of joining Everton last month but the Merseysiders pulled out at the 11th hour.
The 20-year-old midfielder, who made 24 appearances on loan at Leyton Orient in the first half of last season, subsequently received a number of offers in League One, plus abroad.
However, he believes the Scottish Premiership offers the best chance to develop, having noted the impact made by United Premier League 2 squad team-mate Jacob Devaney at St Mirren last term.
The Republic of Ireland international will travel north for a medical before completing the move.

The 25-year-old, capped 13 times by Wales, has penned a two-year deal at Fir Park with Motherwell holding the option for a further year.

AFC Wimbledon are competing in League One for the second consecutive season, having secured safety after finishing 19th, four points clear of the drop zone. They secured promotion to the third tier in 2025, via the playoffs, ending their three-year stay in League Two.
The Dons' season started with a penalty shootout win against Newport County in the League Cup after a 1-1 draw in ordinary time.
Their league campaign however got off to a tough start last weekend, with Wimbledon losing 3-0 away to Huddersfield Town. They come into this weekend's game off the back of a 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient in the EFL Trophy, after conceding an 89th-minute equaliser.
The Dons claimed the bragging rights over the Royals in the league last season, beating Reading 1-2 at the Select Car Leasing Stadium in August last year before following up with a 3-2 win at The Cherry Red Records Stadium in February.
Reading did however claim a 2-1 win over the Dons in a League Cup second-round clash.

Both players could feature for Gary Cadwell's side in Saturday's League One game at home to Leyton Orient.
"It's the perfect stepping stone I need in my career. Being 17, I need to play men's football, and I believe this is the perfect environment for me to be in and build my career," Walsh told the club website.

Defending champion Alex de Minaur powered into the Washington Open quarter-finals with a clinical 6-2, 6-3 victory over fellow Australian Cruz Hewitt.
Women's top seed Jessica Pegula also advanced, rallying to beat Magdalena Frech 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 while men's second seed Ben Shelton outlasted Ugo Humbert 6-7 (3/7), 6-3, 6-4.
Top-seeded De Minaur was always likely to prove too much for 17-year-old qualifier Hewitt -- son of Aussie great Lleyton Hewitt -- who had only captured his first ATP victory in Tuesday's first round.
The first set threatened to become a demolition as De Minaur raced to a 5-0 lead.
But Hewitt found his feet, breaking back in the sixth game and holding serve before succumbing 6-2.

"It's a pretty special moment," Hewitt said. "Seeing my dad play this tournament and to get my first tour win, it feels really cool."

Barring 15-year-old JJ Gabriel coming in for England Under-20 striker Ethan Wheatley, who has a minor calf problem, Manchester United's 25-man squad for their first two pre-season games in Helsinki and Trondheim has stayed the same.
That surely means anyone from the academy who has a chance of breaking into Michael Carrick's senior squad consistently this season will come from that group.
It means the academy players not involved – including the likes of Gibraltar international James Scanlon, midfielder Jack Moorhouse, who spent the first half of last season at Leyton Orient, and Gabriele Biancheri, who was at Rotherham, will have to seriously consider their next moves.
Australia full-back James Overy also falls into that group.
Overy missed a lot of football with United last term after being picked for both the Under-20 World Cup and Under-23 Asian Cup.

The Glasgow-born 23-year-old started as a youth with Celtic, but it was with Swansea City that he first tasted senior football.

"Coming back home is a big thing and the club's massive as well. It was a no-brainer."
