The second half of the draw, which features Djokovic, also has some of the fan favorites on the list. They are American players Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz, who is one of the top picks of tennis legend, Chris Evert.

Djokovic is projected to win to first few rounds easily. He might take on Holger Rune or Casper Ruud in the semifinals. Although Stefanos Tsitsipas has never made it past the third round in New York, the Greek player has made it to the Finals of the prestigious Slam twice.
