It’s the time of the year we have been waiting for all these months. It’s time to celebrate tennis at the biggest tennis stadium in the world! All the superstars of the tennis world are arriving in New York. Fasten your seatbelts for some action, excitements, disappointments, and much more in the course of these two weeks, starting from August 26 to September 8. Fans have a lot of questions about this mega-event. One of them is when the US Open singles draw will take place. Don’t worry, we got you covered! 

The 144th edition of this iconic tournament is going to be lit up by several big names in the tennis world. However, we have already seen the transition of a rising star to a superstar in last year’s women’s singles event. Can we expect a similar thing in this year as well? First, let’s take a look at some important dates. The US Open men’s singles draw will take place on Thursday, August 22 at 12 pm. So, the countdown has already started, but when is the women’s singles draw, though?

Well, the women’s singles draw will also be revealed on the same day (i.e. Thursday, August 22). The 2024 US Open will be telecasted on ESPN and ESPN 2 in the US. Fans can also watch the live stream with a live TV service provider or on Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, iOS, and Fire TV. So, do not take your eyes off the screen!

The qualifiers have already started on 19th August and the day matches in the main draw will start on the Arthur Ashe Stadium and other courts at 11:00 am on August 26. However, the evening matches are scheduled at the main stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium from 7:00 pm. One thing fans must keep in mind, in the second week the activities on the Arthur Ashe Stadium may begin slightly later to accommodate the final rounds of both singles brackets.

Now, we have seen the timings of the singles draw and main events matches. We have also answered the queries on where to watch! Now it’s time to get an idea of what lies ahead of us in the course of these two weeks.

Can Jannik Sinner face Novak Djokovic before the finals of the 2024 US Open?

In the men’s tour, three players will be on the radar all the time at Flushing Meadows. They are, world number one Jannik Sinner, four-time US Open champion Novak Djokovic and the in-form Carlos Alcaraz. Point to be noted: Among these three, both Djokovic and Alcaraz have tasted title triumph at this iconic tournament. Is it time for the Italian this year? He has already won one major title in this season at Melbourne.

What lies ahead of him in New York? Well, let us clear this out for all Sinner fans, Sinner can meet Djokovic only in a hypothetical final. However, Alcaraz may face one of them in the SF. So, be ready for some fireworks!

Looking at the women’s section, the top five seeds are Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, and Jasmine Paolini. Gauff defeated Sabalenka in last year’s final. Both of them are two of the favorites on this surface at the moment. However, we all know what the world number one, Swiatek is capable of, on her day! So, even in the women’s tour, we can expect some nail-biting clashes.

Taking a closer look at the schedules once again, in the third round seeds 1 to 8 faces seeds 25 to 32, and in the R16 seeds 1 to 4 meet seeds 13 to 16. Then proceeding further, in the QF seeds 1 to 4 meet seeds 5 to 8. Alcaraz will have to play on the same day as either Sinner or Djokovic because he’ll be placed in the same half as one of them. Whereas in the women’s draw, Swiatek and Sabalenka are most likely to play on alternate days until the SF.

Looking at the history of this mega event, Richard Sears, William Larned, and Bill Tilden have the record of winning the most number of titles (7). All three of them were Americans, but surprisingly it has been almost 21 years since an American man had glory at this iconic venue. Who do you think is most likely to grab $3,600,000 and 2000 points this time?
