The finals of the 2024 US Open will be played on September 7 and 8.

The final Grand Slam of the year, the US Open 2024, is scheduled to start on August 28. Novak Djokovic will aim to defend his title at Flushing Meadows for the first time. In addition to that, the Serb also has a golden opportunity to equal the record of Roger Federer, Jimmy Connors, and Pete Sampras for most titles in men’s singles events, five.

Jannik Sinner, who is currently involved in a doping controversy, will be the one to watch. The ATP World No. #1 won the Australian Open earlier this year after defeating Djokovic in the semifinals and Daniil Medvedev in the final. Recently, he won the Cincinnati Masters by beating Frances Tiafoe in the final.

Carlos Alcaraz, the winner of the French Open and the Wimbledon Championships, will also contest in the tournament as the third seed. The likes of Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev will also aim to win the prestigious US Open accolade. However, Flushing Meadows is no stranger to upsets and surprise performers.

Meanwhile, on the women’s front, Coco Gauff will fight an uphill battle against all odds and her unfavorable recent form to defend her title at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. The 2022 champion, Iga Swiatek, will also be in the race to win the title as the top seed. However, Aryna Sabalenka currently seems like the likely candidate to make it to the finals.

The Belarusian tennis star won the 2024 Cincinnati Open while returning from a rare shoulder pain. She defeated Iga Swiatek and Jessica Pegula in straight sets to capture her second title of the season. America’s Jessica Pegula successfully defended her Canadian Open title and also reached the summit clash in Cincinnati.

Two-time Grand Slam runner-up Jasmine Paolini and the 2024 Paris Olympics gold medalist, Qinwen Zheng, are also expected to a tough competition to their opponents.
