US Open Tennis 2014: TV Coverage Info

Heading into the 2014 U.S. Open, the hierarchy on tour remains unclear.

Through the year's first three majors, there have been six different winners. Two of those—Rafael Nadal and Li Na—won't be in New York.

The men's No. 1 player, Novak Djokovic, won Wimbledon but hasn't looked the same since, going just 2-2 with defeats to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Tommy Robredo. The women's No. 1 player, Serena Williams, has five singles titles but has yet to make a quarterfinal at a major. That's the first time she has gone 0-for-3 in reaching the final eight since 2006.

No one has grabbed a stranglehold atop the sport, and parity has turned into the overarching theme in 2014.

That should make for a thrilling final major of the year at Flushing Meadows. Let's take a look at what's on the slate for the tournament's opening day on Monday.
