The Hamburger meets an underdog at the last Grand Slam tournament of the year-but later in the tournament it could be very difficult.
Happiness for Germany’s best tennis player: Alexander Zverev caught a feasible draw at the last Grand Slam tournament of the tennis season. The world ranking in third is about the start in New York with the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo, which is currently only 126 in the world rankings.
Zverev also landed in half with the world ranking of Jannik Sinner at the ceremony on Thursday. The Italian won the spectacle in New York last year and most recently triumphed in Wimbledon. However, Sinner and Zverev had most recently struggled with physical problems and had to give up at the Masters 1000 event in Cincinnati on Monday at 0: 5 in the first set against Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
Alcaraz, in turn, is dealing with the American Reilly Opelka, known for its strong surcharges. And could meet Novak Djoković in the semi-finals, who is trying to celebrate his 25th Grand Slam title in New York and thus further expand his own record.
Daniel Altmaier, except Zverev the only German in the Herren field so far, now meets Hamad Međedović in the first round. The two already know each other: at the French Open in Paris, Altmaier had won in four sets in the third round against the Serbs. As few German men as this year were last at the US Open in 1985.
For women, Eva Lys initially plays against a qualifier. Tatjana Maria meets the Greek Maria Sakkari, Laura Siegemund on the Russian Diana Schneider.
