The 2015 U.S. Open is off to yet another rousing start in Flushing Meadows, New York. A few notable results are already in on Monday.

Heather Watson again fell in the first round at the U.S. Open, losing to the United States' Lauren Davis 7-6 (3), 7-6 (0). Dominika Cibulkova ousted No. 7 Ana Ivanovic in three sets, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.

Williams, 33, is 48-2 on the year in singles matches and going for her fifth straight Grand Slam win. One of those losses came in August, a semifinal upset at the racket of Belinda Bencic at the Rogers Cup. Not to be deterred, Williams followed that up with yet another singles title, defeating Simona Halep in two sets to win the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati.

Diatchenko's greatest asset in this match might be the element of surprise. She and Williams have never faced off in a singles match. As a longtime admire...
