Getting off to a hot start at the 2013 U.S. Open doesn't guarantee a strong finish, but it doesn't hurt, either.

After all, winning a Grand Slam title isn't easy.

The players who make it to the end of the tournament endure two weeks of physical, emotional and mental challenges. They battle against one another, against their own bodies and against the throng of media that follows their every step. 

Therefore, breezing through early-round opponents is beneficial, as it cuts down on the wear and tear players endure in such a long tournament.

These top seeds looked sharp in their first-round matches, which should help them down the road when the going gets really tough.

Harrison   4 2 2 Nadal X 6 6 6 Nadal is a former U.S. Open champion, having won the event in 2010.

Given the way he's played on hard-court surfaces this year, he might wrap up his second title in 2013. As noted by ESPN Stats & Info, he's a perfect 16-0 on hard courts this year, and his record on the season is 54-3—easily the best mark of any player on the ATP Tour:



Harrison didn't have a chance on Monday against Nadal, who was dominant at the net, from the baselines and everywhere in between. 



Since being ousted in Round 1 at Wimbledon earlier this summer, Nadal has rebounded with a vengeance, winning two ATP World Tour Masters tournaments against stiff competition. 

The Spaniard looks indomitable right now, and it'll take nothing less than perfection to beat him at the moment.
