The 2011 U.S. Open may be the most intriguing championships that we have seen in a long time.
While there is a lot that can and will happen on the court, there is also a plethora of off-court issues, injuries and other potential storylines that make this U.S. Open one of the more dramatic that I can remember in a while.
The biggest story on the women?s side so far has been Serena Williams and the high ranking that the USTA gave her. Williams is ranked No. 28, which means that she has to go through a significantly hard field if she wants to win the tournament.
If she makes it as far as the third round that means she will be paired up with a top-seeded player. Two players that could potentially end up facing Williams in round three are Caroline Wozniacki, who is rated No.1, or the always dangerous No. 3 seeded Maria Sharapova.
On the men?s side of the brackets things are even more intense.
The favorite going into the match was Novak Djokovic, who is arguably the best player in the world right now, but he suffered a shoulder injury and immense fatigue in a recent tournament final, and ended up dropping out.
The big question on the men?s side is Djokovic?s health and how it will affect him in the U.S. Open.
If he is able to overcome, there is no doubting that he has a chance at winning the whole thing. Rafael Nadal will be his biggest competition though, and if Djokovic isn?t healthy, quite frankly he stands no chance against the dominant Nadal.
These are just two of the major storylines that you can see take place at the 2011 U.S. Open.
