US Open 2016: Results

Novak Djokovic won the title last year

The US Open Tennis Championships, the final Grand Slam of the year, is now underway at Flushing Meadows, New York. Novak Djokovic is the men’s top seed here, and will look to defend his title this year. Serena Williams, the women’s top seed, has six US Open singles titles to her credit but missed out on the title last year, ousted in the semi-finals by Italy’s Roberta Vinci, who finished runner-up to compatriot Flavia Pennetta.

Pennetta won her maiden – and only – Grand Slam at the US Open last year, retiring from professional tennis soon after. 

Roger Federer is among the key names missing from the tournament; the Swiss is on hiatus from the sport until 2017. Other names absent from the US Open include former No. 1 Victoria Azarenka, who is expecting her first child, and Tomas Berdych, who has been sidelined with appendicitis.

Here are some key results from the tournament:
