With his victory in Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic moved the same with his durable Rivel Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to Major titles. In New York, the Serb can now win his 21st Grand Slam and thus make it the best tennis player of all time - the most successful he is already. But it is unclear how he has digested the painful semi-final defeat at the Olympic Games against Alexander Zverev.
The Djoker also experienced a bitter defeat in New York in the previous year, when in the quarter-finals a ball uncontrolled away, a line judge met and was disqualified. Since Tokyo, the 34-year-old has not denied no match, which also admitted that the summer was very exhausting for him - is therefore a small question mark behind his form.
It looks very different from Zverev. Deutsche Number 1 exhibited from Olympic Gold, won the Masters in Cincinnati and is next to the most recently also very dimensional Russians Daniil Medvedev probably the player who represents the greatest danger for Djokovic. Also, ZVEREV is still a bit of gutting in New York, he made himself from the hands of the seemingly beloved victory in 2020 in the final. Good chances are certainly also expects Stefanos TsitsiPas, who last demonstrated many good games. With the injured Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and defending champion Dominic Thiem are lacking, however, great name in Flushing Meadows.

The Australian is number 1 and finally won Wimbledon and Cincinnati. At her, no way seems to pass. Naomi Osaka, who had gone out in Paris for health reasons, then left Wimbledon, and then to miss the desired gold in Tokyo, also returns to the big stage. As it is about the form of the two-time US Open winner (2018, 2020) is open. Although Angelique Kerber is not considered to be top favorite, German number 1 has quite a foreign exchange opportunities.
Are there any new prize money?
For prize money, there are also changes: a total of $ 57.5 million are distributed, which is about four million more than in the previous year. However, the winners in the individual competition receive half a million less than 2020, the finalists 250,000 less. The money should benefit the qualifiers and the finishblies.
