Everyone wants the US Open: Djokovic's last chance, the chance for Zverev and the many outsiders (including Cobolli)The US Open tennis tournament begins on August 30 with uncertainty after Jannik Sinner withdrew due to a knee injury. Carlos Alcaraz, returning from a four-month break, is considered a favorite but faces questions about his readiness after a wrist injury. Novak Djokovic sees this as his last chance to achieve a historic 25th Grand Slam title, while Alexander Zverev aims to climb to world number one. Flavio Cobolli, Italy’s best hope, seeks to advance further in the tournament to qualify for the final event of the season in Turin. Other potential contenders include Arthur Fils, Ben Shelton, Rafael Jodar, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Francis Tiafoe.

Why objectivity (75): The tone is generally informative but contains some subjective phrasing such as 'dubbi non mancano' and 'lunga assenza' which imply uncertainty.

US Open, Djokovic shocks, throws up on court and loses to Navone, he's straight out.Novak Djokovic suffered a shocking first-round defeat at the US Open, losing to Argentine Mariano Navone in a five-set match. Djokovic, ranked fifth in the world, was visibly struggling with physical issues throughout the match, including respiratory problems, stomach issues, and vomiting twice. He collapsed on the court and required medical assistance, ultimately losing 2-6, 1-6 in the final two sets after winning the first two. This marks the first time since 2006 that Djokovic has lost in the first round of a Grand Slam tournament. Djokovic had previously shown signs of difficulty during his preparation tournament in Cincinnati, where he was eliminated early due to extreme heat. At 39 years old, this loss makes it increasingly unlikely for Djokovic to achieve the historic goal of 25 Grand Slam titles.
