US Open Draws - Alcaraz gets Sinner (again), Sabalenka the favourite?, Osaka-OstaPENKO!

Joel, Kim and Chris are back to preview the US Open, which very excitingly gets underway this coming Monday, on the courts of Flushing Meadows. The trio are here to give their legendary Tennis Weekly quarter by quarter preview and predictions, as well as announcing the player picks for the latest edition of Collect A Set. With Novak Djokovic fresh off the back of an Olympic Gold and Jannik Sinner dealing with recent doping news, how will these two fare as the top two seeds in the men’s draw? Meanwhile, Coco Gauff will be looking to defend her title from 2023 but will have strong opposition from a whole array of players, some in form and some unpredictable. Certain first round popcorn matches await in the likes of Osaka v Ostapenko and Paolini v Andreescu, and Dominic Thiem finds himself in his final Grand Slam draw up against home favourite Ben Shelton. Britain’s Emma Raducanu also faces a tough section of the draw, and Jack Draper will be hoping to set up a third round clash with the winner of the last two Grand Slams, Carlos Alcaraz.
