Welcome to New York, USA! The time for the final major tournament of 2011 is finally here! Fittingly, the top seeds in this draw are Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik, the recent Wimbledon champions, following the announcement that they have officially qualified for the 2011 TEB-BNP Paribas WTA Championships in Istanbul, Turkey this fall. The second seeds are also 2011 grand slam champions, namely Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta, who won the Australian Open in January but have since slipped a little bit due to injuries. They return to New York ready to go though. The French Open champions, Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka, are uniting in New York looking for glory as well as the eighth seeds. Finally, the third seeds, Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova won the US Open last year, which shows that they know success too. Other dangerous teams could include the new tandem of Jarmila Gajdosova and Bethanie Mattek-Sands or season stalwarts Daniela Hantuchova and Agnieszka Radwanska, however many more teams who have enjoyed success this summer, such as Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova, are in action this fortnight too and won't be slouches, which means that competition will surely be fierce. With such forces in action, only you can decide the victory. Vote now as the US Open begins!
