Who are the favorites at the US Open 2022?
Reigning male champion Daniel Medwedew. And also this year the Russian, who was not allowed to serve at Wimbledon due to the sanctions against Russian professionals, is again one of the favorites. As well as Stefanos Tsitsipas and Carlos alcaraz. Especially since it is not yet clear whether Novak Djokovic allowed to participate in the US Open. The Wimbledon winner was recently absent from the Montreal ATP Masters tournament because he was not allowed to enter Canada due to lack of coronavirus vaccination. According to the current state, he will therefore not even be able to compete in New York. This attitude had already cost him his participation in the Australian Open earlier this year.

It will surely miss Alexander Zverev. The 25-year-old has canceled the start because he is not feeling completely fit after a serious ankle injury. The US Open comes too early for Zverev. The organizers confirmed Zverev’s retirement seven days before the start of the tournament. The Hamburg man, who had already lost Wimbledon, already knew he would be “very, very close”. The hard court event with three winning sets, ideally seven games under constant pressure, would have been equivalent to a maximum load. However, he had played with his participation in the last Grand Slam event of the year, in vain.

It is unclear how competitive Rafael Nadal is after his renewed injury break. Already at the classic on the grass of Wimbledon he had not been able to play the semifinals due to an abdominal muscle injury. A long pause followed. The third in the world rankings missed the Montreal tournament, also considered preparation for the US Open, because he complained of a “little discomfort”.

In managed women Emma Raducanu the big stir last year and won his first Grand Slam title without losing a set. A title defense would be an equally big surprise.

One of the favorites is Iga Swiatek. Among the candidates for the title there is also the number one in the world Anett Kontaveit (Estonia, no. 2), Maria Sakkari (Greece, no. 3) and Spanish Paola Badosa (4). Also Aryna Sabalenka must be in the list.
