Gear up folks, its the last grand slam of the year and there is plenty to look forward to.
Without Djo and Murray, the men's game certainly has a lot of potential. Of course Fed and Rafa always remain favourites, but the absence of the two above sure gives a whole host of others a grand chance at a grand slam - the Zverev brothers, Cilic, Querrey, Muller, Del Potro & Thiem. To me these nine are going to be the most exciting players to watch: In action today - Cilic, A Zverev, Querrey & Muller.
The women's draw is equally (if not more) competitive. Sharapova makes her come back - can't wait to see how that goes, and then there are the rest of the challengers, all looking to capitalise on their recent form and capture a first, or second, or third grand slam. Will Muguruza maintain her from at Wimbledon, or crumble as she did at the French? How far will Konta go? All the top 15 seeds in the women's game could make it to the latter part of the tournament, and each game they play has the potential to be exciting especially because the players seeded 16 - 25 are pushing hard to get to the top slots. I am personally looking forward to following Ostapenko and hoping she maintains her style of attacking play. So many players and games to look forward to on this side of the draw. In action today: Mugurza, V Williams, Sharapova vs Halep (which is going to be interesting), Kvitova, Konta, Wozniaki, Cibulkova, Makarova amongst others...
Let the games begin!
