U.S. Open women’s preview 2017

By Chris Dinsdale

August 28, 2017 - September 10, 2017 - August 28-September 10, 2017 -- The U.S. Open, the fourth and final Grand Slam tournament of the season, takes place at Flushing Meadows, New York. Karolina Pliskova faces a tough battle to retain her World No. 1 ranking, with Simona Halep – eagerly chasing her first Grand Slam title – remaining within striking distance of the coveted top spot should the Czech fail to emulate her run to the final in 2016. Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza and reigning U.S. Open champion Angelique Kerber both hope to add to their two Grand Slam titles.
