The 2015 U.S. Open is all about Serena Williams and her pursuit of the calendar-year Grand Slam and matching Steffi Graf's Open-era record 22 Slams.

But other players have their own aspirations. Karolina Pliskova, winner of the 2015 U.S. Open Series, wants to win her first Slam. Teen sensation Belinda Bencic has her eyes on playing possible spoiler in a quarterfinals match against Williams. 

Bencic backed up her upset win over Williams in the semifinals of the Rogers Cup by clinching a second WTA title. She leapfrogs some well-known top 10 players to land on these power rankings.

Petra Kvitova, who had struggled most of the summer, defeated Caroline Wozniacki in the semifinals of the Connecticut Open to reach her first final since Madrid, in May. Could she be ready to finally make some noise at Flushing Meadows?

All but one of the ladies mentioned above earned a spot in the top 10 power rankings. 

This list ranks the top 10 players based on recent play, performance against top-tier talent and hard-court prowess. 

Merely holding down a WTA Tour top 10 ranking, like No. 10 Carla Suarez Navarro, doesn't guarantee a spot on this list. In fact, Suarez Navarro, who has lost her last six matches, missed the cut. 

This list reflects a player's strength and projected performance at the U.S. Open. The following are the top 10 players heading into Flushing Meadows.
