Meanwhile, Coco Gauff, currently ranked No. 3 in the women’s game, will play Varvara Gracheva in the Arthur Ashe Stadium, starting the tournament off in what is sure to be dramatic, exciting fashion.

Fans across the globe will be excited to see whether Jannik Sinner can finish the way he started the year, with a Grand Slam title, or whether Alcaraz can make it a hat-trick, all in the presence of veteran megastar Djokovic.

Iga Świątek may be the undisputed world No. 1 in the WTA Rankings, but five different women have won the last five Grand Slam tournaments – and Gauff will be determined to defend her maiden crown from a year ago.
