NEW YORK (Reuters) - There will be no shortage of big-name players in action when the U.S. Open begins on Monday but the talk around New York for days has centred around the marquee matchup between Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova.

Williams and Sharapova - for years the two most recognizable names in women's tennis - will open the evening session at Arthur Ashe Stadium with their first-ever New York meeting in a match that may just have the feel of a championship final.
