Honestly, I'm not really watching those doubles games, I'm more into singles and I know Alcaraz will make his journey there. By the way, did you see the game, how was he? Did Alcaraz still look the same? He was coming from injury, so hopefully he's already close to 100%.

He grew a new hairstyle which seems alright kinda like Nadal's look and his performance seemed fine though it's too early judge since his solo campaign hasn't begun yet. Honestly, Zverev could be the only one to trouble him in this tournament.

I think Alcaraz is ready or he wouldnt be here in the US open so its possible that he is ready for this tournament. The main problem for him is that he didnt play much last few months and this will surely have effect on his gameplay. I think that he wont be able to defend it,but still has a good chance with Sinner not playing. So i think anyone can take the US open this year.

In the Sincaraz era, one of these two almost always end up winning the slams thanks to which I earned decent money betting on these 2 in recent years. Women's side is unpredictable as usual though.

Alcaraz-Williams got knocked out in the mixed doubles quarter finals. Alcaraz's path to defending his US Open title starts soon.

Didnt expect this duo to get knocked out but i guess they just wanted to have some fun like djokovic and sabalenka did.

Maybe this will be an opportunity for Novak to win his 25th Grand Slam, what do you think? After all, as you said, Sinner isn't playing, Alcaraz hasn't played for a long time and it will take him a little while to get back into form. Of course, there are many good players here, and honestly, i expect some surprises.

And maybe not! failed at the first hurdle...

He really fancied his chances but got knocked out last night by Navone.

Its time to quit, getting sick on court, slipping and getting injured, crying - this is what
people remember. Better to pull the plug and retire on a positive vibe.

Djokovic already achieved a whole lot more than many other Tennis players and is easily one of the best for sure, but he really needs to give up before he embarasses himself even further. Dude should have retired long ago like Nadal, Fed etc.

On the other hand, the Williams sisters returned and went without making any impact in different slams. Smh! These legends should just stick to simple exhibition matches like Federer, Agassi etc.

Roman Safiullin, who broke into the top 100 with his performance at Wimbledon, will face former champion Carlos Alcaraz in the first round of the U.S. Open. Carlitos is a bit rusty after a four-month injury layoff. Safiullin is also a player who has beaten him in one of their two previous matches. I don’t think it will be a huge upset, but Safiullin does have a chance to give Alcaraz at least some trouble.

From what i can see, you could barely wait for Novak to lose. I don't know why you dislike Novak so much, or is it hard for you to accept that he is the best tennis player ever, or are you jealous that one of your favorites will never be like him. People certainly won't remember how he cries or how he slipped. People will remember maybe how he lifted the Australian Open 10 times, and maybe how he "ate grass" 7 times at Wimbledon, and so on, so i won't list everything now. I hope he keeps playing, because when his stubbornness kicks in, i am convinced he will win that 25th one too.

Former? Incorrect. He is the current US Open champ and decimated Safiullin across straight sets as expected thanks to which I won my bet easily. This is the Sincaraz era where Sinner and Alcaraz are in another league when compared to all others.

Injuries slow them down here and there, but they tend to bounce back pretty quickly. In other news, Sabalenka, Swiatek, Osaka etc moved forward pretty comfortably and my GOAT(Federer) was inducted into the Hall of Fame with a classy ring.
