The US Open, the last Grand Slam tournament of the year, is highly anticipated with all the stars present. This year is extremely busy in the world of sport and particularly in the world tennis circuit. After a summer é rhythm by the end of Roland-Garros, the sequence with Wimbledon and the Olympic Games, it is the turn of the US Open to enter the running for the last Grand Slam of the year. If the main draw opens on August 28, the qualifications begin this Monday, August 19 with a cascade of French players. Eight of the twenty French players will be seeded in the qualifications. We will find Luca Van Assche, Harold Mayot, Quentin Halys, Terence Atmane, Richard Gasquet, Benjamin Bonzi, Grégoire Barrère and Pierre-Hugues Herbert, the very last seeded player. Less protected in the draw, Ugo Blanchet, Titouan Droguet, Lucas Pouille, Matteo Martineau, Hugo Grenier, Enzo Couacaud, Calvin Hemery, Valentin Royer, Antoine Escoffier, Maxime Janvier, Benoît Paire and Kyrian Jacquet will also be there. For the women, there will be 8 on the starting list. Elsa Jacquemot and Léolia Jeanjean are the best chances while Harmony Tan, Manon Léonard, Jessika Ponchet, Margaux Rouvroy, Selena Janjevic and Kristina Mladenovic will have to perform feats to join the table main. The overloaded schedule does not change the dates of the US Open, which will take place from August 26, the day the first round begins, to September 8, 2024, the day of the men's final. Here is the US Open record for the last fifteen years among the men: The Arthur-Ashe court has once again been challenged. the History Theater this weekend. Perhaps the completion of a legend on Sunday, with Novak Djokovic's 24th Grand Slam title, a new absolute record for men. Even if the Serb still seems to have the resources to win other big victories beyond that, of his 36 years, this coronation & The US Open will perhaps remain as the one that places him alone in the world, ahead of Rafael Nadal who will return in 2024 with the ambition of competing with him in the world. new. Masterfully dominating Daniil Medvedev in the final (6-3, 7-6, 6-3), "Nole" concluded a brilliant fortnight and almost without a hitch for him, if we except his little scare in five sets against his compatriot Laslo Djere in the third round. The day before, it was the first page of a legend that we hope will last as long as Flushing Meadows did, with the first Grand Slam title for the prodigy Coco Gauff. The 19-year-old American will have a hard time stopping the comparisons with Serena Williams, winning like her elder her first Grand Slam at home before her 20th birthday. To achieve this, she had to overthrow the new world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the final (2-6, 6-3, 6-2). Helped by a supportive public, she won the biggest tournament of her young career and will have to continue to deal with the pressure of her status: that of a player so talented that many more Grand Slam successes are expected of her. As in all the Grand Slam tournaments this season, with the exception of Caroline Garcia at Wimbledon, no French woman or man reached the last 16 of the US Open. In the women's event, the failure was stinging since only Clara Burel went as far as the third round, where she was logically swept aside by Aryna Sabalenka. Caroline Garcia, the only hope of a long run in the American tournament, was beaten in the first round by the Chinese Yafan Wang, and confirms that she is no longer part of the elite of women's tennis, while waiting, hopefully, for a rebound in 2024. In the men's competition, however, the absence of a representative in the second week hides a rather encouraging record, with three French players in the third round. Adrian Mannarino, Arthur Rinderknech and Benjamin Bonzi, all authors of their best Major run this season, lost respectively to Frances Tiafoe, Andrey Rublev and Dominic Stricker. These defeats were logical but encouraging, such as that of Arthur Fils against the excellent Matteo Arnaldi, after having eliminated the world number 24 Tallon Griekspoor in the first round. The Frenchman, the youngest player in the men's top 50, continues to gain experience and improve his game, before perhaps moving up a gear next year. Finally, we will remember the beautiful and promising story of Titouan Droguet, aged 22 and winner in the first round of Lorenzo Musetti, 18th in the world, after qualifying for a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. Carlos Alcaraz, eliminated in the semi-finals by Daniil Medvedev, had a very good tournament and continues to gain experience. But now, only one tournament won is a successful tournament for the Spaniard, who gives back his throne as world number one to Novak Djokovic. Less positive to draw for Iga Swiatek, eliminated in the round of 16 by Jelena Ostapenko and who loses her place as leader of the WTA rankings to the benefit of the finalist Aryna Sabalenka. On the good news side, the Italian Matteo Arnaldi and the Australian Rinky Hijikata, both 22 years old, were the surprise invitees to the round of 16. They reached this stage for the first time in their Grand Slam careers, and have had two very promising runs for the 2024 season. Young Ben Shelton, 20, reached the first Major semi-final of his career on home soil, but was stopped there by the eventual Serbian winner. In the men's doubles, the Ram-Salisbury pair won the title for the third year in a row, while Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe won their first Grand Slam trophy together, in the women's doubles.
