Who is playing at the 2024 US Open? Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, Carlos Alcaraz and more

<p>A quarter-final exit at the Australian Open has proven to be a terrific springboard for the young Spaniard, who has added two more grand slam titles to his collection at the French Open and Wimbledon this year alone. With four majors under his belt and a silver medal from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Alcaraz will now chase a second US Open title after he was victorious in 2022.</p>

Carlos Alcaraz

<p>The WTA world number one has looked unstoppable at points this year but is yet to convert her success at the French Open again into further major silverware. A bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games may have registered as something of a disappointment for Swiatek, and she will head to Flushing Meadows chasing a sixth career major and second US Open title after the one she claimed in 2022.</p>

Iga Swiatek

<p>The incumbent title holder triumphed for a fourth time at Arthur Ashe Stadium last year but has uncharacteristically blanked at the three majors since then. A failure to win would make it the first time since 2017 that Djokovic has failed to win a grand slam event; even with a coveted gold medal secured at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, he will want to further burnish his terrific reputation with another big result.</p>

Novak Djokovic

<p>Picking up the first grand slam triumph of her career in 2023 here, Gauff has further cemented her place as one of the best players in the WTA over the past year, with a semi-final appearance at the Australian Open and a doubles victory with Katerina Siniakova at the French Open this year. However, defending her singles title at Arthur Ashe Stadium would be a major feather in her cap as she continues to grow.</p>

Coco Gauff

<p>Having topped the ATP World Rankings this year after his terrific victory at the 2024 Australian Open, the Italian is riding high as a national treasure. Victory in the Davis Cup last year has also helped build a formidable reputation, but he will still have his work cut out against the likes of Djokovic and Alcaraz when he steps out to face his rivals at Flushing Meadows. Can he make it two grand slam wins in a year?</p>

Jannik Sinner

<p>The Belarusian was a doubles champion here five years ago and reached the final in 2023, only to come up short versus Coco Gauff. But with two Australian Open victories in her back pocket, Sabalenka will be among the frontrunners expected to impress at the US Open this time around and could well find her third singles grand slam title if she is able to fight through a crowded field and impose herself in New York.</p>

Aryna Sabalenka

<p>Arguably the best player on the ATP Tour without a major to his name, the German has ticked off just about everything else along the way, picking up a gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and winning the Tour Finals twice, in 2018 and 2021. Having reached the final of the French Open this year, he will want to go one better across the Atlantic, having previously lost the 2020 final to Dominic Thiem.</p>

Alexander Zverev

<p>The Kazakhstani star has never particularly enjoyed her exploits at Flushing Meadows to date, failing to get past the third round. However, she is a previous grand slam winner, with the 2022 Wimbledon title in her back pocket, and a promising trio of WTA 500 titles this season has seen her find some impressive form. She also reached the last four at SW19 again this year and will hope to finally break her unlucky US Open spell here.</p><p></p>

Elena Rybakina

<p>The 2021 US Open winner is still chasing that second grand slam title, though he did previously win the 2020 ATP Tour Finals. Medvedev reached the final of the 2024 Australian Open, followed by a last-four finish at Wimbledon this year, too, but he will be keen to see if he can deliver the goods on a sophomore success story when he takes to the court at Arthur Ashe Stadium once again this time around.</p>

Daniil Medvedev

<p>Three years on from her first major success at the 2021 French Open, the Czech star doubled her tally with a grand slam triumph at Wimbledon earlier this year. Throw in a gold medal from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in doubles, and Krejcikova is well on the way to underscoring her reputation. Victory at the US Open would leave just the Australian Open among major titles for her to conquer if she can pull it off here.</p>

Barbora Krejcikova

<p>The highest-ranked Polish player on the ATP Tour cannot match compatriot Iga Swiatek for success so far and has yet to push beyond the second round of the US Open. Indeed, with a lone last-four appearance at Wimbledon in 2021, his best effort in a grand slam, Hurkacz does not seem an obvious contender on paper, but with his rankings place consolidated, he could prove himself a dark horse contender.</p>

Hubert Hurkacz

<p>Three years on from making history when she became the first singles qualifier to win the US Open - and all without dropping a set along the way - Raducanu is looking to see if she can get back to her best, choosing to skip the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in order to back her bid in America. Still, she will need to be at her very best, both in form and fitness, to make a mark like she did in 2021.</p>
