The French Open arrives next in the Grand Slam calendar, with the Australian Open having kicked the season off superbly last month.
But it is the fourth and final Grand Slam that has been stealing the headlines, with the US Open moving mixed doubles to opening week.
Defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori are angry about the US Open mixed doubles change, with the event now taking place during singles qualifying.
It will finish before the singles main draw has taken place, with 16 pairs set to challenge for the trophy instead of 32.
The US Open mixed doubles will also feature a $1million prize in a bid to persuade the top singles players to play.

And it seems that the approach may just work, with Aryna Sabalenka having discussed the change in her opening press conference for his latest event in Dubai.
Asked whether it impacts her decision on if she might want to play, the WTA number one replied: “I’d like to play. I believe it’s like two-days’ event. I always enjoy playing doubles. It’s like little fun sort of exhibition.
“It always gives me good energy and always helps me to play well in the tournaments. I might. I think it’s going to be fun to play.”
