Once again, the US Open seems full of stories as the last major tournament of the tennis season takes place in Flushing Meadows, New York.
Emma Raducano and Daniil Medvedev are the defending champions after an impressive surprise tournament last year, highlighting Britain’s impressive path from qualifying to winning the title at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Serena Williams looks set to play in the finals of her career as the 23-time Grand Slam champion has retired, while the men’s draw appears to be open due to the expected absence of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal’s continuing injury doubts.
Medvedev is the men’s favorite at the start, while Iga Swiatek will be looking to rediscover the form that led to 37 consecutive games earlier this season. Coco Gauff and Taylor Fritz are America’s greatest hopes.
