Who is playing, who is missing at the US Open 2022?
For men, two of the four semi-finalists from 2021 will probably not be at the start: Alexander Zverev has already canceled due to his ankle injury, Novak Djokovic will probably also be absent. The Serb is still not allowed to enter the USA as an unvaccinated player. Roger Federer , whose comeback is expected at the Laver Cup in London (September 22nd to 24th), will also not be there. Local hero Reilly Opelka has also canceled. All well-known players start with the women.
Who are the favourites?
As always, the situation for women is very open. Iga Swiatek has lost her dominance from spring, the last two major titles before the US Open went to Simona Halep in Toronto and to Caroline Garcia in Cincinnati. A renewed triumph by defending champion Emma Raducanu is unlikely, but not entirely impossible. Aryna Sabalenka is also getting better again.
In the men's race, Daniil Medvedev is the defending champion. Alongside Rafael Nadal , Stefanos Tsitsipas and Carlos Alcaraz , the Russian is one of a larger group of favorites this time. From a local patriotic perspective, most hopes are pinned on Taylor Fritz .
Where will the US Open be broadcast on TV and live stream?
As with the Australian Open and the French Open, Eurosport will broadcast all matches of the US Open on TV and via Eurosport Player as a live stream. ServusTV broadcasts a top match of the day.
What did the draw bring?
The draw will take place on Thursday 26 August 2022.
