Welcome to Flushing Meadows, New York, The United States! The last few weeks have been dominated by play on hard courts in a variety of colours, and for a good reason. The last Grand Slam title of the year is up for grabs, which means that the greatest number of ranking points in the remainder of the season are handed out these very three weeks. After a load of players have, painstakenly, won three matches in the qualifying round, the main draw competition is about to kick off. With the likes of Dementieva, Hantuchova, Ivanović and last year's champion Janković this year's US Open crown will be tougher to win than ever. Vote now as the US Open enters its fourth year on the PYW Tour.
