Federer could face Nadal in US Open final

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal could meet in the U.S. Open final.



The top-seeded Federer and Number 3 Nadal were drawn into opposite halves of the field for the year\'s last Grand Slam tournament.



They have played in seven major finals as Number 1 and 2, but because Nadal recently fell to third in the rankings, there was a possibility the rivals would wind up on the same side of the bracket in New York.



Instead, 15-time Grand Slam champion Federer has Number 4 Novak Djokovic and Number 5 Andy Roddick in his half.



Nadal could face Number 2 Andy Murray in the semifinals. Murray upset Nadal in last year\'s U.S. Open semifinals.



The Williams sisters won\'t have a rematch of the Wimbledon final, in which Serena beat Venus.



Second-seeded Serena and Number 3 Venus were drawn for a possible U.S. Open semifinal match.



The U.S. Open begins on Monday.
