NEW YORK, USA (AP) — Roger Federer will be the top-seeded men's player at the US Open.

The 17-time Grand Slam champion was ranked number one in the ATP rankings released Monday. Defending champ Novak Djokovic is seeded second and Olympic gold medallist Andy Murray third.

With Rafael Nadal out with knee problems, fellow Spaniard David Ferrer is the number four seed.
