Players to Watch
Novak Djokovic
With no Rafael Nadal to contend with, the defending tournament champion Novak Djokovic will not have the man he defeated in 2011 to worry about.
He will likely have to face Roger Federer, though.
The Djoker has proven in 2012 that he still has trouble with the experience and cunning of the veteran Federer, but if he can keep his cool, there is no doubt that he could steal the show once again and defend his tournament honor.
There is no player in tennis—male or female—hotter than Serena Williams right now.
With a 2012 Wimbledon singles win and an Olympic gold medal for Team USA, there is no woman on the same level as the American star.
Williams' love for the U.S. Open only amps up the hype around this tournament, as she goes for another win to close out what could be the most dominant stretch of her career.
It will be very likely that Williams will win the 2012 U.S. Open Grand Slam if she can luck her way into a favorable draw and capitalize on her advantage.
Roger Federer
Swiss tennis sensation Roger Federer remembers that it was Novak Djokovic who knocked him out in the semifinals of this tournament in 2011, not Rafael Nadal. That’s why the thought of Nadal not being at the U.S. Open doesn’t change Federer’s game plan at all.
Federer is playing with great confidence and will contend for a win against anyone he faces.
Despite the red-hot momentum of Andy Murray or the recent history in the Djoker’s favor, Fed-Ex is coming in ready to win another Grand Slam to cap off an already impressive year featuring a Wimbledon win.
