It’s that time again.
Soon, hundreds of thousands of tennis fans will converge at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Queens, for the United States Open Tennis Championship, Aug. 26 through Sept. 8.

Could Roger Federer, 38, snag his 21st grand slam title? Will Serena Williams, 37, finally tie Margaret Court’s slam record of 24?
