The fourth and final grand slam of the tennis year is upon us with the US Open underway at Flushing Meadows.
The best tennis players in the world will again battle on the New York hard courts in the 143rd edition of the American major.
Carlos Alcaraz will defend his title 12 months on from securing his first grand slam singles crown, but will face stiff opposition in the form of a returning Novak Djokovic, who missed last year’s event due to the United States’ Covid vaccination entry requirements.
The women’s draw looks more open, with defending champion Iga Swiatek, Australian Open winner Aryna Sabalenka and home contender Coco Gauff among the favourites.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2023 US Open.
