Three-time defending champion, Serena Williams, begins her quest to complete a calendar-year Grand Slam while past winners Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal launch their campaigns today at the US Open. World number one, Williams, has already captured the Australian, French, and Wimbledon Open this season and could be the first person since Steffi Graf in 1988 to capture all four major women's singles tennis crowns in the same year. That would give Williams twenty-two career Grand Slam singles titles, matching Graf's Open era-mark and move her two shy of Australian Margaret Court's all-time record. Williams will play the first night match at Arthur Ashe Stadium after opening ceremonies against Russia's Vitalia Diatchenko.
