Ten players looking to be a smash in New York

The Italian can make it four grand slam titles from the last five tournaments with another victory in Queens.

Stopping a run of defeats against his big rival Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final was a huge moment for the 23-year-old, who appears to have recovered from the illness that hampered him in Cincinnati.

Carlos Alcaraz

The Spaniard's first slam title came at the US Open when he was 19, but that remains his only major victory on hard courts. Last year he crashed out in the second round and he will be highly motivated to challenge for the trophy again. The Wimbledon final is Alcaraz's only loss since April.

Novak Djokovic

It is now two years since Djokovic won his 24th grand slam title but the Serbian has shown consistency at the slams in 2025, making three semifinals. If he can somehow avoid Sinner - and his increasingly troublesome body holds up - the 38-year-old remains a contender.
