Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek – the current top-ranked male and female tennis players – headline the entry lists for US Open 2023, the United States Tennis Association announced on Wednesday.
This year’s US Open will be held from August 28 to September 10 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York.
Three-time champion Novak Djokovic is just below Alcaraz in the men’s list. Alcaraz recently beat Djokovic in the Wimbledon final in a five-set thriller, stopping him from clinching his 24th Major title.
Djokovic will be back at Flushing Meadows for the first time since 2021. He had missed last year’s edition since he could not enter the US which require the international travellers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Djokovic also missed the Masters events at Indian Wells and Miami this year due to the same reason. However, the US government ended the vaccine mandate on May 11, clearing the way for Djokovic’s entry.
However, the lists do not include the names of four-time winner Rafael Nadal, who continues to be out of action since he sustained a hip injury at the Australian Open, and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu, who had surgeries on both hands and ankles.
Nine men and five women have entered on injury-protected rankings which includes names of 2014 men’s champion Marin Cilic and runner-up Kei Nishikori.
What is the main draw cutoff for US Open 2023?
The main draw cutoff for men’s singles is 96 while it is 100 for women’s singles at US Open 2023.
How many wildcards have been announced for US Open 2023?
NCAA Division I men’s singles champion Ethan Quinn and women’s doubles champions Fiona Crawley and Carson Tanguilig were awarded US Open 2023 main draw wild cards last month. No other wild cards have been announced since then.
