US Open 2022 is upon us and while this year’s tournament may be missing a few stars, there is no shortage of exciting stories to follow at Flushing Meadows.
On the women’s side, defending champion Emma Raducanu enters as the No. 11 seed. But of course, the main storyline surrounds Serena Williams, as this is likely the tennis veteran’s last Grand Slam tournament. before retiring.
Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, will enter her 21st US Open unseeded. She will face Danka Kovinic, an opponent she has never faced before, for their first round matchup. If Williams beats Kovinic, she could face No.2 seed Anett Kontaveit in the next round. Older sister Venus Williams is also making her return with a wildcard entry. She will face Alison Van Uytvanck on Monday.
On the men’s side, World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev won the 2021 tournament and will look to defend his title this year as the No. 1 seed. Some key players will be missing, including Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev. On Thursday, Djokovic officially announced that will miss the tournament due to his COVID-19 vaccine status. Currently, the United States does not allow unvaccinated foreign nationals to enter the country. Zverev has been sidelined since June when he suffered an ankle injury against Rafael Nadal in the French Open semi-finals.
Nadal, who withdrew from Wimbledon before their semi-final match against Nick Kyrgios through injury, he is back and ready to compete in New York.
