En dit staat op de US Open site. Dus Rafa wel als 2e geplaatst. Vamos!
Novak Djokovic has been a steady presence in the final weekend of the US Open since 2007, reaching the semifinals or better each of the last six years, four times appearing in the men’s singles final.
If the 2011 champion lives up to his seeding, he’ll be there again in 2013.
Djokovic is the No. 1 seed on the men’s side for the 2013 US Open, earning top billing for the second time in three years. (He also was the top seed in 2011.) Rafael Nadal, who moved up to No. 2 in the world on the heels of back-to-back titles the last two weeks at the Emirates Airline US Open Series events in Montreal and Cincinnati, has earned the No. 2 seed.
Defending US Open champion Andy Murray will be seeded third, followed by No. 4 David Ferrer and No. 5 Tomas Berdych. Juan Martin del Potro, the 2009 champion, is No. 6.
Last year’s top seed and five-time men’s singles champion Roger Federer is seeded seventh, his lowest seeding at the US Open since 2002, when he was No. 13. This is the 13th consecutive year Federer has been seeded at the US Open, a mark that ties him with Pete Sampras for third-longest among men in the Open era, trailing only Jimmy Connors (18, 1972-89) and Ivan Lendl (14, 1980-93).
The top-seeded American player is John Isner, at No. 13. Isner’s compatriot Sam Querrey will be seeded 26th.

"Hij heeft misschien nog weinig tegenstand, maar dat is wat anders. En ook niet waar trouwens".
Mooi van Isner, maar nu wel erg jammer dat Russell niet mee doet. Maar wel gunstig voor Querrey. Jammer dat Anderson niet doordrukte, maar dat kan Zeballos mooi doen.
Stunt Wawrinka zou leuk zijn, maar niet als ie vervolgens verliest van Djokovic. Maar als die dan weer verliest van Berdych, maakt het niet uit. Dus vannacht is inderdaad cruciaal.
