As the summer heat subsides, the tennis world turns its attention to Flushing Meadows, New York, for the final Grand Slam of the year: the 2023 US Open. The tournament is scheduled to begin next August 28, 2023, and, no doubt, promises high-octane action, featuring the crème de la crème of the men’s and women’s tennis circuits. Let’s preview what to expect at this year’s US Open.
On the men’s side, the competition is as fierce as ever. With the current beautiful and entertaining rivalry between Novak Djokovic and Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, we will surely have plenty of excitement. However, we cannot overlook other high-caliber contenders, such as Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Jannik Sinner, and Alexander Zverev, all eager to upset the status quo.
Carlos Alcaraz aims to defend the 2022 title
Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion, will be the favorite, especially if he maintains his current form. He has exceptional baseline game, mental toughness, and speed. However, Djokovic, who beat him at the recent Cincinnati Masters, with his powerful cross-court game and relentless competitiveness, will be eager to add another US Open title to his illustrious career.
On the other hand, Medvedev could not do much at the Cincinnati Masters, losing 4-6, 7-5, 4-6 to Germany’s Zverev in the round of 16. However, he will be a player to watch out for at this US Open 2023. His unique style of play, characterized by flat and accurate groundstrokes, can be a nuisance for any player. Sinner and Zverev, both with multiple ATP titles to their credit, will also be eager to conquer their first Grand Slam.
Iga Swiatek aims to make a new impact on the table
The picture is somewhat more open on the women’s side, as we have several players who can give a great battle in this tournament. However, Iga Swiatek became the main favorite to win this US Open 2023, thanks to her performance throughout the season. Similarly, players like Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, and Coco Gauff, the latter defeated Swiatek in the semifinals of the Cincinnati Masters a few days ago. Hence, she comes with a lot of motivation to the tournament.
Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina are, without any doubt, other strong contenders for the champions title. A unique power game characterizes Sabalenka, while Rybakina has tremendous consistency and stamina.
