The programming of the tournament, the first rounds of Italians and big names such as Alcaraz and Djokovic, the highest prize money in the history of Slam. Everything you need to know about the last major of the year
New York will be the capital of world tennis for the next few weeks. On Sunday 24 August the Us Open will start, the last of the four Slam of the season, which could, on the weekend of 6 and 7 September when the female singles (Saturday 6) and Male (Sunday 7) will take place, confirm the dominant of the last year of tennis or crowns a new n.1 in the world. Obviously we talk about Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, the great favorites, n. 1 and n. 2 of the scoreboard. The Spaniard will make his debut on Monday 25 against the American Opelka. Our Jannik will play Tuesday 26 against the Kopriva Czech.
Sinner’s debut
–
Vit Kopriva, Sinner’s opponent, is the number 88 in the world, is now experiencing the best moment of his career, despite being born in 1997. He has in fact touched his best ranking in June, at No. 78, after having a meeting at the first time a meeting at Slam, at Roland Garros. The one against Sinner will instead be his absolute debut at the US Open, where he had never even passed the first qualifying round. Read here for the complete analysis of the scoreboard.
The first rounds of Italians
–
In addition to Sinner, pending the end of the qualifications, however, 7 other Italians in the main scoreboard are as many as 7. Lorenzo Musetti, n.10 of the scoreboard and on the side of Jannik, will urge the great French servant Giovanni Mpesh Perricard; Flavio Cobolli, who could cross the Musets in the third round as a draw, will open the dances against a qualified, of 24th seeded. Lorenzo Sonego (n.35), present in the eighth of Sinner, will urge the Australian Wild Card Tristan Schoolkate. The others are all in the lower part. Starting from Luciano Darderi, series head n.32, who will open the dances against the Australian Rinkky Hijikata. Matteo Arnaldi followed (suddenly at n.62) against the 19th -head series Francisco Cerundolo, Mattia Bellucci (n.63) against the Chinese rampant Juncheng Shang and finally Luca Nardi. After the great Cincinnati, the Pesaro area arrives in New York from n.83, and will be called in the first most difficult round among the Azzurri, against n.21 of the Tomas Machac scoreboard.
The first rounds of the Italians
–
The women’s patrol is decidedly less thick, with only three players directly on the scoreboard. Jasmine Paolini, n.7 and inserted in a very difficult quarter (read here for the female draw), will debut on the Louis Armstrong on the night between Sunday 24 and Monday 25 August (1.00 Italian) against a qualified. Same fate touched to Lucia Bronzetti, n. 56 WTA, which is in the eighth of Paolini and in the second round it could however find the N.9 of the scoreboard Elena Rybakina. Instead, Elisabetta Cocciaretto, with a very hard first round against a discontinuous but insidious player like the Kazakh Yulia Putintseva, went worse at n.84 in the world.
The first rounds of the big names
–
Novak Djokovic, from 7 of the scoreboard, will debut at 1.00 Italians of the night between Sunday 24 and Monday 25 August against n.48 ATP Learner Tien on Arthur Ashe. Carlos Alcaraz, with hours to be defined, will always play on August 25, opening his campaign against the dangerous landlord and Big Server Reilly Opelka. The n.3 in the world Alexander Zverev, who is from Sinner’s side, will open the tournament instead against n.126 Alejandro Tabilo. To inaugurate the program of Arthur Ashe, Sunday at 18.00 Italian, will be Ben Shelton (n.6 of Seeding) against a qualified, and to follow the N.1 in the world Aryna Sabalenka against Rebeka Masarova. The N.2 Iga Swiatek and the n.3 Coco Gauff will instead debut respectively against Ajla Tomljanovic and Emilian Arango.
