The US Open in New York, the last Grand Slam of the 2023 season, begins on Monday August 28. Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz defend their title. Djokovic returns to the United States. Discover the issues and information of this US Open 2023.
After a memorable tournament in 2022 with the retirement of Serena Williams, the premature defeat of Nadal and the title of Carlos Alcaraz among others, the US Open in New York once again promises a grandiose spectacle for this 2023 edition. last year, Alcaraz and Swiatek, remain favorites of the 139th US Open. But the Spaniard will have to be wary of the return of Novak Djokovic if he wants to retain his title. This year, the Serb can return to play in the United States after a ban on territory caused by his refusal to be vaccinated against Covid. The player with 23 Majors is looking for a 24th Grand Slam tournament and should therefore present himself very determined in New York.
For the last Grand Slam of the year, Monday August 28, the defending champion Iga Swiatek opens the ball by facing the Swedish Rebecca Peterson at noon. Djokovic and Coco Gauff will also play in the night session on Monday.
This US Open will not see Rafael Nadal, injured and forced to recover on the sidelines of the 2024 season. American tennis players are also eagerly awaited since last year, they were mostly disappointing like Taylor Fritz, full of promise, however eliminated in the first round. The only satisfaction was Frances Tiafoe who almost played a final at Flushing Meadows. He was stopped in the last four by Carlos Alcaraz. Winner in 2021, Daniil Medvedev was also below his level on hard last year. He will probably be a major player in this last Grand Slam like his compatriots Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev, who are very regular in major competitions. It will also be necessary to observe Casper Ruud, finalist in 2022 or Jannik Sinner.
Among the women, Iga Swiatek will leave as the favorite of this tournament. Still world number 1, the Polish has many points to defend since she is the defending champion. She is closely followed by Aryna Sabalenka who managed to win the Australian Open last January. The Belarusian is certainly very regular in reaching the semi-finals of the last four Majors, but she is struggling to climb this last step. Ons Jabeur is blocked at the next stage. It counts 3 finals in the space of two years. Despite the opportunities, she fails. Elena Rybakina will have her heart to shine. She was eliminated in the 1st round in 2022. Earlier this year, she was a finalist in Melbourne. She therefore has the ability to go quite far in the table.
Caroline Garcia has a lot to play for in this American tournament because she remains in a semi-final. The Czech players are also very surprising and effective this season (Karolina Muchova, Marketa Vondrousova) like the returning Elina Svitolina. Finally, local supporters are hoping for a revolt from their compatriots. The main representatives remain to be Coco Gauff and Madison Keys. They will at least have the pleasure of seeing Venus Williams who made her comeback in London.
The last Grand Slam of the year will be played from Monday August 28 to Sunday September 10, 2023.
