Summary The women's seedings will be announced Wednesday, and the draw is Thursday.

NEW YORK (AP) - Top-ranked Novak Djokovic is seeded No. 1 for the U.S. Open, and five-time champion Roger Federer is No. 2, meaning they could only meet in the final.

The U.S. Tennis Association followed this week s ATP rankings in announcing the seedings on Tuesday.

Federer moved up one spot from his No. 3 ranking because 2013 champion Rafael Nadal withdrew from the year s last Grand Slam tournament with an injured right wrist. The 33-year-old Federer is seeded at the U.S. Open for the 14th consecutive year, tied with Ivan Lendl for the longest streak, trailing only Jimmy Connors  record of 18.
