With Wawrinka, Djokovic, Andy Murray, Kei Nishikori and Milos Raonic all sidelined by injuries, the field is wide-open on the men's side for Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to reassert their dominance at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center—or for one of the top youngsters to rise up.
Federer, this year's champion at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, hasn't won the U.S. Open in a decade. Nadal, who took home a 10th French Open title this season, has gone four years without a crown in Flushing Meadows.
A trio of up-and-comers could lay claim to the top of the tennis world, as well. Alexander Zverev, No. 6 in the ATP rankings, is eyeing his first Grand Slam championship at age 20. Dominic Thiem, the eighth-ranked player in the world, advanced to the fourth round of last year's U.S. open when he was 23. At No. 17, the 22-year-old Nick Kyrgios will be aiming to parlay his powerful forehand and smashing serve into a deep run.
The women's side will offer its fair share of intrigue, as well. Serena Williams will stay home to attend to her pregnancy. In her stead, Kerber has her sights set on a successful title defense, with Venus Williams, Johanna Konta, Simona Halep, Garbine Muguruza and Karolina Pliskova all gunning for the top spot.
Muguruza, the No. 3-ranked women's tennis player in the world, will be hoping for a stirring follow-up to her stunning run at Wimbledon, where she defeated Venus Williams to claim her first trophy there and become the first person to defeat both Williams sisters in major singles finals.
