For the fourth straight year, Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams have been named top seeds at the US Open.
The men’s field is without Roger Federer for the first time since 1999 but it does past winners Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Marin Cilic and Juan Martin del Potro who was given a wildcard.
Djokovic, 29, is 51-5 this year and won his 11th and 12th Grand Slam singles titles at the Australian Open and French Open, respectively. Murray comes into the US Open as the reigning Wimbledon champion and the won the gold medal in men’s singles at the Rio Olympics.
Four American men are seeded at this year’s US Open—No. 19 Steve Johnson, No. 20 John Isner, No. 26 Jack Sock, and No. 29 Sam Querrey.
Tomas Berdych is the other big name to have withdrawn.
In the women’s draw, Serena Williams and sister Venus along with Sam Stosur and Svetlana Kuznetsova are past champions.
This year, Serena is looking to break the record for the most Grand Slam singles titles in the Open Era. At Wimbledon, Williams tied Steffi Graf for the most major titles when Williams won her 22nd Grand Slam singles title.
No. 2 seed Angelique Kerber nearly unseated Serena for No. 1 Sunday in Cincinnati.
Two-time finalist Victoria Azarenka withdrew due to pregnancy.
