NEW YORK: Serena Williams will resume her quest for a record-tying 24th Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open on Wednesday while holder Novak Djokovic and five-times champion Roger Federer also seek passage to the third round.
"I've been working on a lot of new things," said Williams, who won the most recent of her six U.S. Open titles in 2014. Serbian top seed Djokovic, who has won four of the last five Grand Slam titles, will begin the evening session on Ashe when he faces Argentine world number 56 Juan Ignacio Londero in the first meeting of their careers.Swiss third seed Federer, who overcame a first-round scare from India's Sumit Nagal before prevailing in a four-set night match, will hope for an easier outing when he faces Bosnia's Damir Dzumhur in the day's second match on Ashe.
