Serena Williams leads US Open 2014 women’s line-up

World number one and two-time defending titlist Serena Williams leads a stellar lineup of WTA stars joing the US Open 2014 Championships. 103 out of the world’s top 105 players are scheduled to compete at the last Grand Slam event of the season.

Williams is joined by this year’s Roland Garros champion Maria Sharapova (2006 US Open champion), two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, two-time US Open titlist Venus Williams and past winners at Flushing such as Samantha Stosur and Svetlana Kuznetsova.

The US Open 2014 takes place from August 25 until September 8 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York.

World number two and reigning Australian Open champion Li Na, third-ranked Simona Halep and fourth-ranked Kvitova complete the top four.

The July 14 WTA Rankings was the basis in determining the main draw entry list for the US Open 2014 Championships. The seedings will be determined prior to the start of the event.
