Barring a colossal upset, count on Roger Federer to be on court come week two — after all, the recent father of twins has collected the last five trophies and boasts a streak of 21 straight Grand Slam semifinals. While we have our fingers crossed for the first Nadal-Federer final in Flushing, aces like last year's runner-up Andy Murray and sling-armed homeboy Andy Roddick are welcome substitutes. On the women's side, several look to supplant Serena Williams, defending champ and world-beater at two of the year's major tourneys. Sister Venus and a rank of Russians — led by Dinara Safina — represent the credentialed threats on the DecoTurf's fast surfaces.
