		<description><![CDATA[Photo Credit: Philip Hall / usopen.org The US Open and its players have been influencing America&#8217;s opinions for years.  Think about it&#8230; Who else could popularize jean shorts other than Andre Agassi?  Roger Federer&#8217;s brand is so powerful that Nike simply includes an RF on their clothes and the sales jump.  And John McEnroe&#8217;s famous [...]]]></description>
