NEW YORK : Rinky Hijikata walked off court ready to talk about his first win at the U.S. Open on Monday but the Australian wildcard's thoughts quickly turned to a shooting at the University of North Carolina where he studied business for two years.

"First and foremost I want to send my thoughts and prayers to everyone back in Chapel Hill because that's not something you want to see."I guess it is just the reality of life sometimes in this country, which is not a good thing."
