Overview

• Top seed Jannik Sinner opens against Vit Kopriva in a comparatively favorable top half, while No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz begins versus Reilly Opelka in a stacked bottom section.
• Sinner told reporters he feels good, is "mostly" recovered and "not 100% yet," but expects to be ready within days for the tournament start.
• Novak Djokovic, seeded seventh and without North American tune-up matches, starts against Learner Tien as he pursues a 25th major with pundits questioning his match sharpness.
• Aryna Sabalenka enters as women’s top seed and defending champion, drawing Rebeka Masarova first with potential tests from Jasmine Paolini, Jessica Pegula and Iga Swiatek.
• Previews and betting point to Sinner and Alcaraz as men’s favorites, with Jack Draper, Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz and Alexander Zverev cited as threats, though Draper’s recent arm issue clouds his readiness.
