The draw for the 2025 US Open men's and women's tournaments are out, headlined by No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz on the same side of the bracket as Novak Djokovic.

OK, sure, maybe it wouldn't be rational to say there's no point in actually holding the full U.S. Open and instead just fast-forwarding to the inevitable matchup for the men's championship between Jannik Sinner — assuming he's healthy — and Carlos ...

Djokovic won on that occasion, as he did in last year’s Olympic final. The world No. 1, by contrast, dispatched Djokovic in straight sets at Roland-Garros and Wimbledon, and seems a more reliable bet to reach the latter stages of the majors.
