The latest news, results and today's schedule for the 2017 U.S. Open, as the final Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year is underway in Flushing Meadows, New York, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Rafael Nadal and Karolina Pliskova are the top two seeds in the men's and women's singles draws, respectively. Nadal is a two-time winner of the U.S. Open, while Pliskova reached the final last year. The 2017 U.S. Open will be without Serena Williams, who remains sidelined due to her pregnancy, and several top men's players—Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori and Milos Raonic—are skipping the event due to injury.
