The 2016 U.S. Open arrives with No. 1 on the line for the women and men in the tournament.

Serena Williams, Angelique Kerber and Garbine Muguruza will battle for the WTA Tour's No. 1 ranking. Meanwhile, Andy Murray could overtake Novak Djokovic in the singles race for most ranking points earned this year.

The quest for No. 1 gets underway Monday, August 29, and the path to retaining or gaining the top spot seems easy for some and rocky for others. 

Williams drew 2014 U.S. Open semifinalist Ekaterina Makarova in the first round. Yikes! Makarova reached a career-high No. 8 last year. Will she catch a rusty and weary Williams at just the right time?

Kerber's bid to wrest the No. 1 ranking from Williams will be easier than it was in Cincinnati, where the German came up one match short at the Western & Southern Open. Kerber starts the tournament with a 480 points advantage over Williams and a dream draw. 

While it's never a given as to where upsets might upend top seeds, Djokovic's draw looks brutal, especially when compared to Murray's rather pedestrian path. 

Djokovic will want to end Murray's red-hot summer. The British No. 1 has won 22 of his last 23 matches and is the only player to reach the final in all the Grand Slams this year. 

So let the race for No. 1 begin. The following is everything you need to know in the complete bracket analysis and review for the 2016 U.S. Open.
