Rested but rusty Djokovic plots US Open ambush
Novak Djokovic hopes a selective approach to his scheduling will give him the best chance to win the US Open in his unrelenting pursuit of a record 25th Grand Slam. The 38-year-old Djokovic has not played since a comprehensive semi-final defeat by Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon last month, skipping the two main US Open warm-up events in Toronto and Cincinnati. He briefly returned to court on Tuesday for the revamped mixed doubles in New York but lasted just 43 minutes as he and partner Olga Danilovic crashed out in the first round. A four-time US Open champion, Djokovic suffered his earliest Grand Slam exit since 2017 when he lost to Australia's Alexei Popyrin in the third round of last year's tournament. He won his 100th ATP title in Geneva this May on the eve of the French Open but found his path blocked by Sinner at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Djokovic has reached the final just once at the last seven majors since equalling Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles at the 2023 US Open. Sinner (four) and Carlos Alcaraz (three) have combined to sweep every ensuing Grand Slam, leaving Djokovic on the outside looking in and with time working against him in his bid for history. "I think, regardless of the fact that I haven't won a Grand Slam this year, or last year, I still feel like I continue to play my best tennis at Grand Slams," Djokovic said after his Wimbledon loss. "Those are the tournaments that I care about at this stage of my career the most." But he has twice been compromised by injury this year in a Grand Slam semi-final. A hamstring tear forced him to retire against Alexander Zverev at the Australian Open before a hip and thigh issue hampered him in London. - 'Proven I can still play' - "It's just age, the wear and tear of the body. As much as I'm taking care of it, the reality hits me right now, last year and a half, like never before, to be honest," said Djokovic. "It's tough for me to accept that because I feel like when I'm fresh, when I'm fit, I can still play really good tennis. I've proven that this year. "But I guess playing best-of-five, particularly this year, has been a real struggle for me physically. The longer the tournament goes the worse the condition gets. I reach the final stages, I reached the semis of every Slam this year, but I have to play Sinner or Alcaraz. "These guys are fit, young, sharp. I feel like I'm going into the match with the tank half empty. It's just not possible to win a match like that." But unlike Sinner and Alcaraz, who toiled through the heat and humidity in Cincinnati before the Italian retired from their clash in the final on Monday with illness, Djokovic took time off to recharge. That means it will be almost five months since his last hard-court match -- a straight-sets loss to Jakub Mensik in the Miami final -- when he launches his 19th US Open campaign. Only time will whether the gamble pays off at a tournament Djokovic also won in 2011, 2015 and 2018. He is a six-time runner-up here as well, with his shot at a rare calendar Grand Slam four years ago dashed by Daniil Medvedev. "I don't know really what tomorrow brings in a way at this point in my career," Djokovic said earlier this year. "You know, I'm going to keep on keeping on." There is every chance though he will have to get past both Sinner and Alcaraz to land another title. mw/bb

'Tough lessons' helping Sabalenka ahead of US Open defence
World number one Aryna Sabalenka believes she is ready to hit her peak as she prepares to launch the defence of her US Open crown after a tumultuous season of near-misses. The 27-year-old from Belarus arrives at Flushing Meadows sitting on top of the global rankings despite a year in which she has failed to add to her tally of three Grand Slam singles titles. Agonising defeats in the finals of the Australian and French Opens, followed by a semi-final exit at Wimbledon, have left Sabalenka even more determined to retain her crown in New York, a tournament she regards as her favourite Grand Slam. Sabalenka took a lengthy break after her Wimbledon disappointment, opting to skip the WTA Montreal tournament in order to recharge. Although her return at the Cincinnati Open ended in a straight sets defeat to Elena Rybakina in the quarter-finals, a relaxed Sabalenka says she is in a positive mood heading to New York. "I've had a pretty good season so far in the Slams. Lost those two finals but I learned really tough lessons," Sabalenka said. "I lost in semis at Wimbledon but the consistency is there. I'm just missing a little, little part. (The US Open) has always been my favorite slam. I'm defending champion, and I love being in this position." Both of Sabalenka's Grand Slam final defeats this season went to three sets. A gruelling 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 loss to Madison Keys in Melbourne was followed by a 6-7 (5/7), 6-2, 6-4 reverse to Coco Gauff at Roland Garros. "I really hope those tough lessons are going to help me in this one," said Sabalenka, who was criticised for remarks after her French Open defeat in which she suggested her own mistakes -- rather than Gauff's performance -- was to blame. She subsequently apologised for her comments and has patched up her relationship with Gauff, who also defeated Sabalenka in the final of the 2023 US Open. - Swiatek lurks, Venus farewell? - "After that, I had to sit back and reflect on everything and apologize and make sure that people understand my point -- that was just I was over emotional," Sabalenka said of the Gauff controversy. "I was completely was a tough lesson, but it helped me a lot in so many different ways." As the No.1 seed, Sabalenka could meet third seed Gauff in the semi-finals in New York, in a repeat of their 2023 final. But the biggest threat to Sabalenka's hopes of a successful title defence may come in the shape of Poland's Iga Swiatek, who heads into the tournament brimming with confidence after following up her breakthrough Wimbledon title in July with victory at the Cincinnati Open. Second-seed Swiatek, who defeated Sabalenka in the semi-finals en route to winning the US Open in 2022, has looked in relaxed mood since arriving in New York. She shrugged off fatigue to partner Casper Ruud to Wednesday's mixed doubles final, where the duo were beaten by Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, but looks well-placed to add a second US Open crown to her collection of six Grand Slam singles titles. US hopes, meanwhile, will be spearheaded by Gauff, the 2023 champion whose fortunes have fluctuated since her victory at the French Open in June. The 21-year-old suffered a first-round exit at Wimbledon, and has struggled to get to grips with her service game since, notably making 23 double faults in a single match at the Canadian Open in Montreal last month -- the most in a WTA-level match since 2011. Gauff has moved to remedy those problems by shaking up her coaching team just days before the US Open, reportedly bringing in biomechanical coach Gavin McMillan to iron out the kinks in her serve this week. Elsewhere, Venus Williams is poised to make what may well turn out to be her farewell appearance in the US Open after being granted a wild card into the draw, 28 years after reaching the final as a 17-year-old in 1997. The 45-year-old US tennis icon faces Czech 11th seed Karolina Muchova in the first round. rcw/bb

Blockbuster 'Sincaraz' rivalry ready to light up US Open
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will be aiming to write another chapter of their blockbuster rivalry when the US Open men's singles gets under way on Sunday. As the era of men's tennis's "Big Three" recedes into the rearview mirror, Sinner and Alcaraz have accelerated onto centre-stage to fill the void created by the retirements of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and the decline of Novak Djokovic. In their five meetings in Grand Slams so far, Sinner and Alcaraz have produced encounters that have been every bit as memorable as anything Federer, Nadal and Djokovic served up. This season, Alcaraz drew first blood with a spellbinding 4-6, 6-7 (4/7), 6-4, 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (10/2) victory over Sinner to claim the French Open title in June. Sinner then hit back to claim the Wimbledon final last month, defeating Alcaraz in four sets, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. "I keep looking up to Carlos because even today I felt like he was doing a couple of things better than I did," Sinner said after his Wimbledon win. "That's something we will work on because he's going to come for us again." The two men also have history in New York, meeting in an epic, 5hr 15min 2022 quarter-final showdown finally won by eventual champion Alcaraz at around 2:50am local time. "Every time we play against each other, I think our level is really high," Alcaraz has said of his rivalry with Sinner. "I don't see any player playing against each other having the level that we are playing when we face each other." - 'A gift to our sport' - Australian legend Rod Laver meanwhile says simply that Sinner and Alcaraz are a godsend to tennis. "Their growing rivalry is a gift to our sport, and it's matched by the genuine respect they show for each other," Laver wrote on social media after Sinner's Wimbledon win. "Win or lose, they compete with joy, class, and sportsmanship. That's what makes champions." Alcaraz and Sinner's battle for supremacy this season will carry an extra edge at the US Open, with the world number one ranking also at stake. Sinner and Alcaraz met in Monday's Cincinnati Open final, although fans were denied another classic after an ailing Sinner retired in the first set while trailing 5-0. Alcaraz's win in Cincinnati means that he has closed to within 2,000 points of Sinner in the ATP rankings. To ensure he remains world number one, Sinner will likely need to win in New York while Alcaraz can reclaim top spot if he advances one round further than Sinner. Sinner, though, is unlikely to surrender his ranking position without a fight. Prior to his retirement in Monday's Cincinnati final, Sinner had racked up an impressive 26 consecutive wins on hard courts. Assuming the Italian's fitness holds up, few would bet against the world number one launching the start of a new lengthy winning run in New York over the coming fortnight. Sinner opens his campaign in the first round against Vit Kopriva, with the earliest major obstacle a potential quarter-final with Britain's Jack Draper. In other side of the draw, meanwhile, Alcaraz must navigate a path to the final which could include the 38-year-old Djokovic. Djokovic heads into New York knowing that the window for winning a record 25th Grand Slam singles title is rapidly closing. The Serb has not played since his semi-final exit at Wimbledon last month. Djokovic has not reached a Grand Slam singles final since his defeat to Alcaraz at Wimbledon last year. His last US Open victory came at the 2023 final, where he defeated Daniil Medvedev. Yet Djokovic maintains that he can still be relevant in the era of Sinner and Alcaraz, warning after Wimbledon that he continues to raise his game at Grand Slams. "I think, regardless of the fact that I haven't won a Grand Slam this year, or last year, I still feel like I continue to play my best tennis at Grand Slams," Djokovic said. "Those are the tournaments that I care about at this stage of my career the most." rcw/bb
