US OPEN Draw REACTION!! Alcaraz's EASY draw, Swiatek vs Rybakina AGAIN + can Sabalenka stay at No.1?

The US Open is here! Join Joel, Kim and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they dissect the men’s and women’s singles draws quarter by quarter, pick their champions and, naturally, throw in a few BOLD predictions along the way. On the men’s side, Jannik Sinner may be missing, but Carlos Alcaraz and his new haircut are back and he finds himself in the same half as Novak Djokovic who is still searching for full fitness. Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev is the top seed at a Grand Slam for the first time, but after just two wins across Canada and Cincinnati, can he finally make the most of his seeding in New York? Plus, Stan Wawrinka gets his US Open wildcard after initially missing out to set up a Wimbledon repeat against Matteo Berrettini, thanks to a late withdrawal.
Over on the women’s side, it’s all about the World No.1 battle between Elena Rybakina, Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff. Has Sabalenka got the easier route, or is every match now a potential banana skin - especially with former Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova potentially waiting in R3? And will Rybakina even make it onto court after pulling up injured versus Swiatek in Cincinnati? Plus, Collect a Set returns, we react to the madness of Fan Week, including the Serena-Alcaraz partnership and Federer vs Roddick back on court — with a very familiar result.
