The US Open- 5 surprise contenders to win.

This year, there are a number of players who will be looking to emulate her success. Here are 5 surprise contenders who could go all the way at the US Open:

1. Sofia Kenin

The 20-year-old American has been in excellent form this year, winning her maiden WTA title in Hobart and reaching the quarter-finals of the French Open. She also has experience of playing on the big stage, having competed at Wimbledon and the US Open in the past.

2. Madison Keys

Keys is another player who has enjoyed a good year so far, reaching the semi-finals of the Australian Open and the quarter-finals of Roland Garros. The 23-year-old has a powerful game and will be looking to make a deep run at the US Open.

3. Johanna Konta

The British No. 1 has had a solid season so far, reaching the semi-finals of Wimbledon and the quarter-finals of the French Open. She will be aiming to go one better at the US Open and claim her first Grand Slam title.

4. Petra Kvitova

The two-time Wimbledon champion is always a dangerous player, even when she’s not at her best. She has had a mixed season so far but she always raises her game at the majors and could be a force to be reckoned with at the US Open.

5. Sloane Stephens

The reigning US Open champion had a disappointing French Open campaign but she will be looking to bounce back at her home Slam. The 25-year-old is a tough opponent on her day and will be hoping to defend her title in New York.
