Alcaraz and Djokovic could get early US Open tests. Venus Williams draws No. 11 seed Muchova
NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will face potential difficult American opponents when they begin their quest for another U.S. Open title. Venus Williams, meanwhile, returns to the event at age 45 against No. 11 seed Karolina Muchova, a past French Open finalist who has reached the semifinals in New York the past two years. That was one of the early highlight matches after the draws were conducted Thursday for the men's and women's singles tournaments. Those begin Sunday, a day earlier than in the past, and a pair of recent U.S. Open champions could be tested early. Alcaraz, the No. 2 seed, starts against Reilly Opelka. Opelka, a former top-20 player before injuries, is 6-foot-11 with a powerful serve that he rode to the fourth round in New York in 2021. Alcaraz won his lone U.S. Open title the following year and has gone on to add four more Grand Slam titles. Djokovic owns a men's record 24 of them, including four at the U.S. Open. Seeded seventh, he will face Learner Tien, a 19-year-old left-hander who upset Daniil Medvedev en route to the fourth round of this year's Australian Open. Now playing infrequently outside of the majors at 38 and having fallen to No. 7 in the rankings, Djokovic could have to beat 2024 U.S. Open runner-up Taylor Fritz, the No. 4 seed, in the quarterfinals, then Alcaraz in the semifinals and No. 1 Jannik Sinner, the defending champion, in the final. Williams was given a wild card by the U.S. Tennis Association into a tournament where she won two of her seven Grand Slam singles titles, and will be the oldest player to compete in singles at Flushing Meadows since 1981. But she faces someone who has shown the ability to raise her game in the biggest tournaments. Muchova, after falling in the 2023 French Open final, got to the semis in New York later that summer and again last year. No. 3 seed Coco Gauff, who won her first major title in the 2023 U.S. Open, will first face Ajla Tomljanovic, the Australian who beat Williams' younger sister, Serena, in her final match in 2022. The potential quarterfinals on the men's side are Sinner vs. No. 5 Jack Draper, and No. 3 Alexander Zverev vs. No. 8 Alex de Minaur in the top half of the bracket. The bottom half could be Alcaraz vs. No. 6 Ben Shelton, and Fritz vs. Djokovic. The women's quarters could be defending champion and No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka vs. No. 7 Jasmine Paolini, and No. 4 Jessica Pegula vs. No. 5 Mirra Andreeva on the top half. The other side could see No. 2 Iga Swiatek vs. No. 8 Amanda Anisimova in a rematch of Swiatek's romp in the Wimbledon final, and Gauff vs. No. 6 Madison Keys, the Australian Open champion.

Phillies' $300 Million All-Star Sends 3-Word Message Amid Hot Stretch
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Philadelphia Phillies signed Trea Turner to a $300 million deal before the 2023 season. He started off slow, but ended up finishing his first year off strong. He was an All-Star last season, but was snubbed this year. Despite Turner's All-Star snub, he has been one of the best players in the league this year. He is hitting .295 and leads the National League in hits with 151, entering play on Thursday. Turner had a slight slump in July, but still hit .268. He has a .914 OPS this month and is hitting .333. He has 21 hits in his last seven games, which is the most by a Phillies player since 1930, per The Athletic's Matt Gelb. PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - AUGUST 20: Trea Turner #7 of the Philadelphia Phillies celebrates with Bryson Stott #5 after scoring a run in the bottom of the seventh inning against the Seattle Mariners at Citizens Bank... PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - AUGUST 20: Trea Turner #7 of the Philadelphia Phillies celebrates with Bryson Stott #5 after scoring a run in the bottom of the seventh inning against the Seattle Mariners at Citizens Bank Park on August 20, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Phillies defeated the Mariners 11-2. More"Consistency is nice," Turner said of his hit stretch, per Gelb. Turner was one of many Phillies players who had a case to be named an All-Star. However, he has responded by continuing to help his team win. The Phillies entered Thursday with the second-best record in the National League and the third-best record in all of baseball. It's hard to imagine them being in this position without Turner. Turner's OPS is down slightly from last season, but he still has a 116 OPS+. He has already led baseball in hits twice in his career, and could do so again this year as well. He is a three-time All-Star, Silver Slugger, batting champion and World Series champion. He is now trying to help lead the Phillies to the Fall Classic. More MLB: Christian Yelich's Reaction as Brewers Fall to Cubs Again: 'Who Cares?'
