The biggest headline going into this year’s U.S. Open is no doubt centered around Serena Williams and her retirement. The 23-time Grand Slam champion will play her last Grand Slam tournament of her GOAT-status career in front of a home crowd.

There are currently five American players in the Top-25 WTA rankings, and Williams isn't one of them. Some of the American women playing at the U.S. Open are coming off of historical runs at other Grand Slam tournaments, including Coco Gauff, who played in her first Grand Slam final this year.
