US Open 2007 will start from 2007. Defending champion Roger Federer of Men’s singles and Maria Sharapova of Women’s singles will try to defend their title. Compared to Men’s singles, competition in Women’s singles is more open as at least six players are thought to be favorite to win the US Open 2007 title. Justine Henin, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Elena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic and Maria Sharapova are all favorite to lift the US Open 2007 trophy.
However, Maria Sharapova now seems lucky that she will not have to face any of the other five strong contenders of the tournament before final. On the other hand, the other five top seeded players are in top half of the draw. World no. 1 Henin has the possibility to meet Serena Williams in quarter final for the third time this year. Henin defeated Serena in quarter final round of French Open 2007 and Wimbledon 2007. On the other hand, Henin is now confident to win the US Open 2007. Having lost to Marion Bartoli in the semi final of Wimbledon 2007, Justine Henin had gone through a tough time but he came back in style winning the Rogers Cup. For Serena Williams the last few season did not go well as she has been suffering from a thumb injury though her sister Venus got her form back wining the title of Wimbledon 2007.
Two rising stars, Ana Ivanovic and Marion Bartoli are thought to be two future stars of tennis world. Both of their performances in 2007 were excellent as both of them played their first Grand Slam final in 2007. Bartoli played the final of Wimbledon 2007 and Ivanovic played in French Open 2007. So, they can throw tough challenge to Henin, Sharapova, Venus and Serena Williams.
