US Open champion Nadal stretches clear as No 1
Rafael Nadal of Spain
NEW YORK - Muslimchronicle
Rafael Nadal extended his lead at the top of the world rankings after claiming his 16th Grand Slam title at the US Open, while Roger Federer took second spot from Andy Murray. Spaniard Nadal and 19-time major winner Federer sit first and second on the all-time Grand Slam champions list, but it is the first time they have occupied the top two places in the rankings since 2011. Nadal, 31, had retaken the world number one spot from Murray the week before winning his third US Open title, and now holds a substantial lead over reigning Australian Open and Wimbledon champion Federer. Swiss legend Federer, 36, was out of sorts in New York and lost to Juan Martin Del Potro in the last eight. Murray missed the final major tournament of the season with a hip injury.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
