The camp of the Serbian tennis player, as well as the Spanish “Marca” were surprised that the US Open decided to set such a precedent because it is known that the American Grand Slam is perhaps the most modern and that this year they celebrate 50 years of equal awards in men’s and women’s competition.

Djokovic will be the second seed in the tournament and will be in the bottom half, which means that before the final he will certainly not be able to meet Carlos Alcaraz, who is currently leading the ATP list. The Serbian has won the US Open three times so far, and now he is attacking his 24th Grand Slam title.
