As the US Open 2024 approaches, world number one Jannik Sinner enters the tournament amid a doping controversy, having been cleared of wrongdoing after testing positive for a banned substance. The draw positions Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in the same half, potentially setting up a semifinal clash, while defending champion Novak Djokovic is on the opposite side of the bracket. Djokovic, seeking his 25th Grand Slam title, will face a qualifier in the first round, while Sinner's first match is against Mackie McDonald. Notably, defending champion Coco Gauff begins her campaign against Varvara Gracheva, with a possible semifinal against Aryna Sabalenka. The tournament starts on August 26 and runs until September 8, promising exciting matchups and high-stakes competition.
