US Open 2024: Even the players aren’t sure who will be at their best on New York’s hard courts

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Tennis fans unable to decide who has the best shot at doing well at the U.S. Open have company as the year’s last Grand Slam tournament is set to begin Monday. You can be ready ‘better’ than the rest of the group,” said Sabalenka, a two-time champion at the Australian Open and runner-up to Gauff at last year’s U.S. Open, “but at the end of the day, it’s all about how hard are you ready to fight for it — especially on those days when you don’t feel your best.” Another player not at the Olympics, Frances Tiafoe, reached the Cincinnati Open title match before losing to No. Personally, I just like where I’m at.” Then there are those such as defending U.S. Open champion Novak Djokovic, who won a gold medal at the Paris Games but didn’t play a single hard-court tuneup event, or Carlos Alcaraz, the silver medalist whose only recent match on a hard court was a loss in Cincinnati. “Obviously, I have loved to have more matches my belt on hard courts before the U.S. Open,” said Alcaraz, who twisted his right ankle Saturday but seemed fine when he practiced Sunday.
