The 2015 U.S. Open gets underway on Monday, August 31 in New York and both No. 1 seeds will be in action. The biggest storyline in this year's tournament has to be Serena Williams' quest to sweep the Grand Slam events during this calendar year.

If she wins, it'll be her 22nd Grand Slam title (five in a row), seventh U.S. Open championship, and that would include victories in each of the last three years.



Benjamin Morris and Carl Bialik of FiveThirtyEight Sports penned an interesting piece questioning if Williams' post-30 accomplishments make her the greatest of all time. ELO ratings are used to compare Williams to the likes of Chris Evert, Margaret Court, Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf.

It's an interesting way to ask a question of which there's no definitive answer. While Morris and Bialik aren't sure Williams is the GOAT, they clearly acknowledge her greatness. They wrote:

"While she may be unlikely to ever take the top spot in the women’s tennis hierarchy—at least as far as recursive Bayesian ratings algorithms are concerned—she’s still young enough to accomplish a lot more in the game, and old enough to deserve extra credit for it."

Her journey at the 2015 U.S. Open begins in an afternoon match against Vitalia Diatchenko. It's hard to imagine Williams losing in the first round of a Grand Slam, but it's especially difficult to fathom Diatchenko beating the game's best player.

Diatchenko has lost her last three matches. In a not-so bold prediction, I'm predicting that streak will hit four on Monday. Here's a look at Monday's lineup of matches with seeded players as well as the viewing info for the day, per USOpen.org.
