THE DRAW for US Open was announced in New York on Thursday. With Rafael Nadal and Caroline Wozniacki the top seeds in the upcoming US Open, fourth seed Andy Murray might face tough challenges as the game develops. Although the men's match looks tough, second seed, Roger Federer can be assured of a smooth road till the quarterfinals.
2009 champion, Kim Clijsters, who is the defending champion this year, is seeded number two followed by Venus Williams at number 3. The stakes are equally high for Wozniacki and Clijsters as the former just came out victorious from the Roger's Tournament in Montreal and Clijsters has to defend her title with an injured hip.
As the first round of the draw commences, FedEx will be seen playing opposite Brian Dabul of Argentina. The 26 year old Dabul has an experience of 13 career matches on the tour. The US Open will miss players like Marcos Baghdatis, Mardy Fish, or David Nalbandian.
Soderling, who lost to FedEx in the US Open quarters an year ago, is not in a very good shape. The hard court exits he faced in both Toronto and Cincinnati Open is an example to that.
