Roger Federer will try to add another Grand Slam success in his age-defying seasons when the US Open begins today. Third-ranked Federer took the Australian Open and Wimbledon crowns, raising his record Slam total to 19. Federer opens against US teen Frances Tiafoe on Tuesday in his first-round match. Until this year's revival, Federer had not won a Grand Slam title since Wimbledon in 2012. Federer, the five-time US champion from 2004-2008, is bidding for a 20th major and third of the year after capturing the Australian Open and Wimbledon titles.

Federer, 36, could meet Australian Nick Kyrgios in the fourth round as well as Austrian seventh seed Dominic Thiem in the quarter-finals.
