The US Open 2011 Grand Slam Tennis Tournament will start on 29th August, Hurricane permitting.
This year Novak Djokovic is the men's top seed and Caroline Wozniaki is the Women's top seed.
This could be an interesting men's Grand Slam tournament. Novak Djokovic has had a brilliant season so far and is definitely the player to beat. He did have to retire recently in a match with a painful shoulder so there could be a question over his fitness, especially in a long tennis tournament like the US Open.
Rafael Nadal is the second seed, but he appears to be going through a tough time at the moment. Nadal's confidence has taken a battering especially by Novak Djokovic beating him in several finals and Djokovic has now taken his throne.
The third seed is Roger Federer. Although it seems Federer is slowing down these days you can never write him off in a big Grand Slam. He did have a great French open tournament early this year. Maybe with a lot less pressure these days with more focus being on Djokovic and Nadal, Federer may be able to get near his best tennis again.
The Women's world number one and top US Open 2011 seed Caroline Wozniaki has just won the New Haven WTA title for the fourth successive season. Wozniaki has won six WTA titles this year but has yet to win a Grand Slam title. She did appear in the US Open 2009 final but was beaten by Kim Clijsters.
Vera Zvonareva is the second seed. Zvonareva was a US Open 2010 finalist and was also beaten by Kim Clijsters that year.
Third seed Maria Sharapova has been improving again this year. She was a finalist at this years Wimbledon and has won 2 titles this year. Sharapova has won the US Open before and always remains a threat when she's on her game.
Hopefully this year we will see another great US Open Grand Slam Tennis Tournament.
