The 2024 US Open, the final Grand Slam of the tennis season, is set to capture the attention of millions of fans worldwide as it unfolds from August 26 to September 8 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre in Flushing Meadows, New York. This prestigious hard-court event will showcase top ATP Tour stars, including world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, defending champion Novak Djokovic, and Carlos Alcaraz, who has recently won both Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
Novak Djokovic returns to the US Open as the defending men's singles champion, having won the title last year by defeating Daniil Medvedev. Djokovic enters the tournament with the momentum of a recent Olympic gold medal, which completed his career Golden Slam. Despite not having played since his French Open victory, Djokovic’s history suggests he can adapt to new surfaces quickly.
On the women's side, Coco Gauff, who claimed her first Grand Slam title at the US Open last year, will be looking to regain her form after a mixed performance at the Olympics and recent tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati. Gauff's return to the site of her maiden Grand Slam victory could be a key factor in her performance.
The US Open will also feature notable wild card entries, including four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka and 2019 US Open winner Bianca Andreescu. They will join other wild card recipients such as Amanda Anisimova, McCartney Kessler, Alexa Noel, Iva Jovic, Chloe Paquet, and Taylah Preston, adding an exciting element to the tournament.
