Data map: Djokovic won the 2018 US Open championship.
China News Service, August 28th. On the 27th local time, the US Open singles sign was released. In the men's singles, in the absence of Federer and Nadal, whether Djokovic can successfully win the championship becomes the biggest attraction. With many famous players participating in the women's singles side, the battle situation is relatively more chaotic.
For men’s singles, although Federer and Nadal are not involved, there are three former champions participating in the US Open this year: Djokovic (2011, 2015, 2018), Murray (2012), Cilic (2014).
Since the 2017 Australian Open, the Big Three have won the past 13 Grand Slam championships. Among them, Djokovic won 5 out of 7 of them. Judging from the results of the draw at the current US Open, Djokovic has a good sign and the biggest challenge may appear in the semifinals. His potential opponents in the semifinals are Sisipas and Zverev.

However, there is no shortage of masters among other men's singles players. Men's singles No. 2-6 seeds have all reached the semi-finals or above in the Grand Slam since the 2019 season.
Although there are many famous players in women’s singles, there is a lack of players like Djokovic who currently have absolute dominance. The potential opponent of the third round of the 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams is the 2017 tournament champion Stevens. The 2018 U.S. Open winner Naomi Osaka may once again encounter local rising star Gao Fu in the third round.
New Australian Open champion and No. 2 seed Kenning also sits in the lower half. She lost to Kone in the first game after the restart of the tour, and then the US Open will face Vikme, the top four of the 2009 tournament in the first round. Yale, there are many dangerous opponents lurking on the road to promotion.
Data map: Clijsters.
The 37-year-old Clijsters played with a wild card, and the US Open will be her third event since her comeback. The Belgian will encounter No. 21 seed Alexandrova in the first round, and the potential opponent in the third round is compatriot Mertens.
The 40-year-old Venus Williams faced No. 20 seed Mchhova in the first game. If he can advance to the third round, he will face Konta and reappear in the 2017 Wimbledon semi-finals. (Finish)
