The 2024 US Open men’s singles draw promises exciting matchups and intense battles. Let’s dive into the key pairings and notable players:
Top Half:
Jannik Sinner: The reigning Australian Open champion and No. 1 seed finds himself in the top half. Sinner could face a third major meeting with Daniil Medvedev, who defeated him in the Wimbledon quarterfinals earlier this year.
Daniil Medvedev: The 2021 New York titlist shares the same quarter with Sinner. Their potential clash in the quarterfinals would be their 13th tour-level encounter.
Carlos Alcaraz: The 2022 US Open champion aims to bounce back from recent losses. He starts against a qualifier and could face Jack Draper in the third round.
Bottom Half:
Novak Djokovic: The Olympic champion anchors the bottom half as the No. 2 seed. Djokovic is set for a rematch with Ben Shelton in the fourth round.
