Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic
 
*As of today, Monday, August 25, the world鈥檚 most attended sporting event (1 million fans expected this year) has officially begun. The top tennis players in the world from both the ATP and WTA tours, 128 total from each organization, have all ascended on New York City to fight and scrap for arguably the most rewarding prize of the tennis season, the 2014 US Open trophy.
 
The US Open, the last of the four annual Grand Slams, is held at the Billie Jean King Tennis center in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park and is considered by many of the players as the most challenging to win. The fans are rowdy and obtrusively passionate, planes continually fly overhead disrupting concentration, and the weather is wholly unpredictable from intense heat to intermittent rain, making for a tumultuous road to the finish line.
 
Only the strong survive.
 
And speaking of strong, leading the field on the women鈥檚 side as the number one seed, defending champion and 2014 United Emirates US open series winner is Serena <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Briefcase>Michael Kors Briefcase</a>  Williams. The 17-time Grand Slam champion鈥檚 resume鈥?speaks for itself, but on her way to amassing that impressive number of Slam wins, she鈥檚 conquered New York five times. She鈥檒l open this year鈥檚 bid against fellow American Taylor Townsend, a former US Open junior champion whose expected to be among the WTA elite in the future.
 
Serena Williams is coming into the week riding a wave of momentum. After a disappointing year of Slam performances thus far and a zany 2014 Wimbledon bid, she turned things around by winning 鈥淩oad to the US Open鈥?tune-up titles in Stanford and Cincinnati and by reaching the semifinals in Montreal before being taken out by her surging sister, Venus Williams. Her recent turn in fortunes also earned her a chance to win an additional $1 million in prize money if she鈥檚 the last woman standing at the end of these next two grueling weeks.

On the men鈥檚 side, in the absence of last year鈥檚 champion and world no. 2, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic will lead the field as the current ATP world no. 1 and the tournament鈥檚 no. 1 seed. Djokovic currently owns a single US open title and is looking to claim no. 2 to cap off a topsy turvy season that has some questioning his resolve. He鈥檒l open the 2014 US Open against Argentinian, Diego Schwartzman to begin proving one way or the other.
 
Novak Djokovic鈥檚 fortunes haven鈥檛 been so great in 2014, coming into the week having been bounced early in his most recent tournament, leaving him very little match-play preparation for this last push of the season in terms of Grand聽 Slams. In his favor, however, is his ability to grind his way to Slam finals despite performance otherwise and the fact that the man he鈥檇 typically meet on the other <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Gold-Flats>Tory Burch Gold Flats</a>  side of the net of a final, Rafael Nadal, is out nursing a wrist injury he sustained during practice. As a result, Novak becomes this year鈥檚 favorite by default.

There are a number of dark horses, sleepers and 鈥渇avorite adjacents鈥?on both the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 sides, including Venus Williams, Petra Kvitova, Maria Sharapova, Victoria Azarenka, Sloane Stephens, Eugenie Bouchard, Simona Halep, Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Milos Raonic, Stan Warwrinka, Jo-Wilifred Tsonga, Tomas Berdych, Grigor Dmitrov etc, who all have their compelling narratives, but most bets are on the number one seeds on both sides.
 
Keep up with the Soul of the US Open as the tournament progresses to see who actually wins and to get answers to the scintillating questions of:
 
*Can Serena Williams salvage her Slamless 2014 season and take home the big prize in New York to finally make a legend-matching 18 slams?
 
  
*Will a lines person or chair umpire rub Serena the wrong way and cause a New York meltdown as has happened on two occasions before?
