Novak Djokovic is among the top contenders to lift the title at the Flushing Meadows. His last triumph at the US Open came in 2018. The Serbian comes into the US Open this year, on the back of an incredible title-winning run in Cincinnati. He defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the finals in three sets, with the battle lasting for almost four hours. The second seed has been handed a relatively easier draw, as he could face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarterfinals.

Alexandre Muller is up against a nightmare draw, as he faces one of the pre-tournament favorites in the first round itself. His form has been pretty average in the past couple of weeks, facing a first-round defeat at the Winston-Salem Open. He was also knocked out from the qualifying rounds of the Cincinnati Open.

Djokovic should have a comfortable passage into the second round, as he should win in straight sets. The Serbian has a tendency to start slow in Grand Slam events, hence the Frenchman could be in fortune if he can win a set. However, he will have to produce the best display of his career if he is to defeat the second seed or cause him any problems in the opening round.

Match Prediction: Novak Djokovic to win in straight sets
