. Williams, who is unseeded, will meet Montenegro's Danka Kovinić in the first round, before a likely second round match-up with Estonian world No.2 Anett Kontaveit., the 23-time grand slam winner said that, although she will try to win at the US Open, it is time for her to move "in a different direction".
"There comes a time in life when we have to decide to move in a different direction," Williams posted on Instagram with a picture of herself on the cover of Vogue with the title: "Serena's Farewell. I'm terrible at goodbyes".With Djokovic out of the men's tournament, favouritism sits with world No.1 Daniil Medvedev, just ahead of Spaniards Rafa Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz as well as Aussie star Kyrgios. De Minaur is a $101 outsider to go all the way.
In the women's draw, Swiatek is the favourite ahead of Halep, Coco Gauff, Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina.The winner of each singles title will pocket $3.72 million, with the runner up getting half of that. Each semi-finalist gets $1.01 million, while those knocked out in the first round will get $114,679.
The winning men's and women's doubles teams will get $986,240, while the winners of the mixed doubles pocket $233,602. For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by
