The men's and women's draws for the 2018 US Open were released Tuesday, and Serena Williams drew the No. 17 seed, up eight spots from her No. 25 spot heading into Wimbledon. Serena Williams lost in the Wimbledon final to Angelique Kerber, who jumped from a No. 11 seed to No. 4 with her win in London.

World No. 1 Simona Halep topped the women's draw, while Caroline Wozniacki retained her No. 2 slot. One player moving in the wrong direction is Garbine Muguruza, who fell to the No. 12 seed after being seeded third at Wimbledon. Despite losing in the first round at Wimbledon, Sloane Stephens moved up a spot to take Muguruza's No. 3 seed.

In the men's draw, longtime rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer topped the draw while Novak Djokovic, seeking to capitalize on momentum from his Wimbledon win, drew the No. 6 seed. 

Venus Williams fell out of the top 10 down to No. 16 -- one seed ahead of her sister.

Serena has more than earned her keep in the rankings since returning from maternity leave. There was controversy about the 23-time Grand Slam winner going into the French Open unseeded, but her play alone has justified her seeding. She made it to the fourth round of the French Open before pulling out due to injury, then she made it to the Wimbledon finals in just her second tournament back.
