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.

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.

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.
