NEW YORK—Carlos Alcaraz last came to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center feeling out of sorts after a grueling Olympic-impacted summer ended with an early exit from the US Open.
Defending champion Jannik Sinner, who has been recovering from illness, received a more favourable route to the U.S. Open final than Carlos Alcaraz while Aryna Sabalenka will be tested in her bid to retain her title after the draw was made on Thursday.
Jannik Sinner fell ill a day before his Cincinnati Masters final against Carlos Alcaraz. And as a consequence, he withdrew from the match after trailing 0-5 in the first set.
