Serena Williams’ Seeding Bumped Nine Spots by U.S. Open
The World No.26 is the only singles player to get seeded higher than her current ranking at this year's U.S. Open. Serena Williams received a seeding bump of nine spots form the U.S. Open seeding committee and thus will be seeded 17 at this year’s tournament.
Williams, a six-time U.S. Open champion, is the only player in either the men’s singles or women’s singles draw to be seeded above her ranking.
It’s great news for the American, who will now avoid a Top 8 player in the first three rounds of the tournament. Had Williams been seeded in accordance with her ranking of 26 in the world, she would have been seeded to face a player ranked No.1 through No.8 in the world in the third round.
As it stands now, if Williams advances to the third round she would be slated to face a No.9 through No.16 seed.
Here are the current U.S. Open women’s singles seeds:

“After balancing a variety of factors, including her return to competition following the birth of her daughter, her recent hard-court performance this summer and recognition of her achievements at the US Open, the USTA has moved Serena Williams’ seeding nine spots, from 26 to 17," said Managing Director of Corporate Communications Chris Widmaier. "We feel this is the appropriate decision, one that recognizes Serena and is fair to the remaining seeded players.”
Main draw play at this year’s U.S. Open begins on Monday August 27. The tournament is celebrating the arrival of a second roof on the newly rebuilt Louis Armstrong Stadium.

Serena Williams is the World’s Highest-Paid Female Athlete
Forbes reports that eight of the world's Top 10 highest-paid female athletes are tennis players. Serena Williams heads Forbes’ list of the highest-paid female athletes of 2018, despite the fact that the American has only earned $62K of prize money in the 12-month period that ended on June 1, 2018.
The highest-paid female athletes of 2018:
1. Serena Williams
2. Caroline Wozniacki
3. Sloane Stephenshttps://t.co/F78SXGpz8J pic.twitter.com/yviyRsA2Tj— Forbes (@Forbes) August 21, 2018
Tennis players make up eight of the Top 10 on the list, with Indian badminton player P.V. Sindhu seventh on the list and American race car driver Danica Patrick coming in at nine.
Here are where the eight tennis players rank in the Top 10.
1. Serena Williams — Total earnings: $18.1 million ($62k Prize money, $18m endorsements)
2. Caroline Wozniacki — Total earnings: $13 million ($7 million prize money, $6 million endorsements)
3. Sloane Stephens — Total earnings: $11.2 million ($5.7 million prize money, $5.5 million endorsements)
4. Garbine Muguruza — Total earnings: $11 million ($5.5 million prize money, $5.5 million endorsements)

Williams has more than a dozen sponsors, including Nike, JPMorgan Chase, Lincoln, Gatorade and Beats. According to Forbes, only 16 athletes made more than Williams over the past 12 months from endorsements–she made twice as much off the court as any other female athlete.
Forbes reports that Sharapova is still down more than 50 percent after the fallout from her 16-month suspension for taking a banned substance. The Russian ranks fifth this year at $10.5 million, but only only earned $1 million in the time period.
Alexander Zverev Announces Official Partnership with Coach Ivan Lendl
It's official: The promising German has added Ivan Lendl to his team. Alexander Zverev has officially added Ivan Lendl to his coaching team. The 21-year-old announced the news in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
The German was last seen working with Lendl before the start of the U.S. hardcourt swing in Florida. When asked, he said it was just a few days, nothing more, and added that he’d keep us posted if any news broke.
We have yet to hear much from either party, but did get this tweet from Jerry Solomon, Lendl's manager.
#IvanLendl on @sascha_zverev: “Sascha has a unique set of skills and a great work ethic so I am looking forward to helping him achieve his goals.”

That news is now broken, and a new era for the promising German begins. Zverev, who won the Citi Open title before losing in the quarterfinals at the Rogers Cup and the first round at the Western and Southern Open, is 43-13 on the season with three titles.
Lendl, who owns the record for most consecutive U.S. Open finals reached as a player, coached Andy Murray to all three of his Grand Slam titles during two coaching stints with the British star.

Deer Warts: What We Know About These Nasty Growths on Whitetails
