The 134th edition of the U.S. Open at Flushing Meadows got off to an electrifying start Monday in a bracket that features dominance, upsets and more.

While the biggest names such as Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova do not hit the hard courts until late in the day's proceedings, the opening salvo did more than whet the appetite of fans—it gave them some of the best action to date. 

As the final Grand Slam of the season creeps through its infancy stages, here is a look at Monday's bracket results and some of the most notable storylines.

Notable Performances

Venus Williams



In the midst of a bit of a career resurgence, the other Williams sister has become just as important of a name to watch.

A mere weeks after knocking off sister Serena in Montreal, Venus enters New York as the No. 19 seed and took down Kimiko Date-Krumm in the first round, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. The triumph makes Williams a pristine 16-0 in the first round of the tournament, which she won last in 2001.

Williams fired off three aces and 17 winners while dominating at the net, winning 73 percent of the points there. That ugly first set is not a huge ordeal when put into context, either, as Jane McManus of ESPNNewYork.com does:



The last thing a wide-open field needed—seriously, even Serena has looked shaky as of late, and the rest of the bracket is a mess—was for the veteran Williams to be in top form.

At this point, she assuredly is with injury issues in the rearview. Until that form dips, Venus is as critical to monitor as Serena.
