US Open draw. Looks like a challenging road full of side-stories...

Serena may have to beat Sloane Stephens, Madison Keys, Belinda Bencic, Maria Sharapova & Simona Halep to complete the calendar Grand Slam

Always!!! She always gets the hardest draw

While 16 seeded Errani plays no ranked players at all until probably the quarter finals. Used to be the number one seed gets the 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 meaning Errani would be in Serena bracket but Serena gets the more favorable run/mix of seeded and non seeded opps not Errani.

Serena can handle all these peeps with ease. There really is daylight between her and the rest. Besides, the usual suspects cant claim that she had an easy draw.

Oddly enough, of all the potential roadbumps, that may have been one of the simplest for Serena to navigate.

indeed...the head to head says it all.

Venus Williams one set all with Monica puig. All those match points down the drain.

Venus wins the final set at three.

Serena makes round 2 as her opponent retires injured.
