Can anyone challenge Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz? What about Iga Swiatek? Here are the US Open contenders, divided into five tiers.
The burgeoning rivalry between Alcaraz and Djokovic is an absolute thrill. They have played four times, and each has won twice. They're 1-1 at Slams. Three of their matches were outright classics, and the fourth -- a four-set win for Djokovic in the French Open semis -- was on its way to being just as good before Alcaraz's body let him down. If we omit the last two sets of that match, when Alcaraz could hardly move, they've played 1,003 points against each other.
The difference between them heading into this tournament might simply be that Djokovic is less likely to slip up before a potential meeting in the final. For one thing, Alcaraz's draw is trickier, with young rival and 2021 champion Medvedev potentially in the way. For another, Alcaraz's attention span has waned this summer. Since winning Wimbledon, he's played eight matches. He dropped the opening set four times and lost twice , and of his six wins, five went the distance.
