As the 2024 US Open approaches, Novak Djokovic enters without a Grand Slam title this year but remains a significant contender, aiming for his 25th major title. The tournament's draw places Djokovic on the opposite side from his main rivals, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, setting up potential high-stakes matches. Sinner, despite a doping controversy, holds the top seed and may face Alcaraz in the semifinals. Djokovic, who recently won his first Olympic gold, appears rejuvenated after dealing with a knee injury. The draw has led to discussions among fans about the relative ease of Djokovic's path compared to his competitors. Coco Gauff, the defending women's champion, and other top seeds like Aryna Sabalenka also look to make significant impacts.
