The US Open never had a Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal meeting but they would hope the newest rivalry in men's tennis - Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner - dubbed "Sincaraz" - would fare differently. On the women's side, defending champion Aryna Sabalenka targets her first major this year, with Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff two of her biggest rivals.

Carlos Alcaraz survived a grueling five-set match against Fabio Fognini to begin his Wimbledon title defense. Aryna Sabalenka started strong, while Daniil Medvedev suffered a shocking first-round exit.
