Top seeds at the US Open will look to avoid some of the early carnage of recent grand slams as the tournament gets underway in New York.
But former US Open champion Daniil Medvedev is already out, losing to Benjamin Bonzi in the first round just as he did at last month’s Wimbledon.
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz backed up their seeding to reach the final, though, and would play a third grand slam final in a row if they meet this fortnight.
Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka is the top seed in the women’s draw, with Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek returning to second seed.
Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic were among the early casualties at last year’s US Open, with both players knocked out in the first week as Sinner won the title.
