The dust has now settled and after 15 days of ball swatting, line judging and rowdy crowds in New York, the biggest tournaments in tennis, the Grand Slams, are complete for another year.

For those who like a competitive playing field, the trophies couldn’t have been dished out much better. For the first time since 1998, all four major titles for both the men and women were won by four different players.

There have been some familiar names in there: Rafael Nadal inevitably conquering in Paris; Novak Djokovic reigning on the green grass of Wimbledon. On the ladies’ side, the four champions (Li Na, Maria Sharapova, Petra Kvitova and Serena Williams) had all previously won a Slam.

However, at the hard-court majors, we have two new male winners. In Melbourne, Australia, the perennially overshadowed Swiss, Stan Wawrinka, stunningly defeated Djokovic, Tomas Berdych and Nadal on the way to his first Grand Slam triumph. But in even more astonishing fashion, Croat Marin Cilic has just blasted through the field in New York.

The two singles finals at Flushing Meadows won’t exactly be remembered in a hurry by any other than the players themselves but the significance and history behind those matches most certainly will be.

Let’s take a look at some of the most absorbing and memorable moments from 2014’s last Grand Slam…
