The superstars in the world of tennis are well-established, particularly on the men's side, as Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and the injured Roger Federer tend to dominate all the biggest tournaments.

However, there are no guarantees that Djokovic (arm, wrist) will survive his nagging injuries and make it through to the championship round of the U.S. Open, and the same holds for Murray even though he is in excellent form.
