JapanThe U.S. Open appears more competitive than ever due to the absence of top players like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who is returning from a four-month injury layoff, and Novak Djokovic possibly showing signs of aging. The men's tournament lacks clear favorites, with multiple players vying for the title. On the women's side, Aryna Sabalenka's struggles at Wimbledon and subsequent tournaments threaten her hold on the world number one ranking, creating uncertainty in the top spots. Players like Jessica Pegula suggest the competition is more open, with no single dominant force. The tournament kicks off with several high-profile matches, including Pegula's opening match and Djokovic's appearance, while Alcaraz continues to prepare for his return.
