The final Grand Slam event for 2010, the US Open, returns to the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y. Argentina’s Juan Martin Del Potro shocked five-time defending US Open champ Roger Federer at last year’s tournament. The 20-year-old Del Potro, playing in his first Grand Slam final, ended Federer’s 40-match winning streak in New York. Top contenders this year include Federer, Wimbledon champ Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Robin Soderling and Novak Djokovic. Del Potro won’t be defending his title this year due to injury. On the women’s side, Kim Clijsters became the first unseeded woman to win the US Open by beating Caroline Wozniacki in the final. Clijsters capped off an amazing comeback, having spent two years away from tennis to raise her daughter, Jada. Clijsters, Wozniacki, Venus Williams, Jelena Jankovic, Samantha Stosur and Elena Dementieva are among the top contenders this year. Noticeably absent is Serena Williams, who had to withdraw due to an unfortunate cut on her foot. ESPN2, Tennis Channel and CBS share coverage of the tournament Aug. 30-Sept. 2.
