Show Notes
US OPEN TIME!
For Owen and Andre, the ATP side is clear: after epic clashes between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, they just stand above all others as the favourites. Save somestruck of bad luck, which seems to have been haunting Novak Djokovic at the US Open, he should be there. Save the menace of Jannik Sinner, Carlitos Alcaraz should also find his way into yet another Grand Slam clash against the all-time major leader Serbian. Are we wrong? Should we worry more about a potential... party pooper?
On the WTA side, things get more complicated. With no clear favourite, five women come stand out as potential winners: Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Ons Jabeur, and Coco Gauff. While the race seems to be more between Sabalenka and Swiatek, this is a game of match-ups, and in a best of three sets format, slipping into a deficit could lead to an early upset a lot quicker.And depending on who meets who at any point in the tournament, the finalists could be wildly different. It is another exciting Grand Slam on the women's side - who will lift the coveted trophy in the end of the fortnight?
