Overview

  • After dizziness and circulatory trouble in Cincinnati, he said blood tests were normal and suggested overuse of painkillers may have contributed.
  • The draw gives him a first-round match with Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo and places him in Jannik Sinner’s half with a potentially favorable early path.
  • Sinner said a recent virus forced him out of the revamped mixed event but he has mostly recovered and expects to be ready for the singles.
  • US Open organizers cut mixed doubles to 16 teams over two days with shortened sets; doubles specialists Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori won and earned $1 million.
  • Novak Djokovic arrives without a match since his Wimbledon thigh issue as he chases a 25th major, and the tournament purse is a record $90 million.
