2024 US Open Projected Men's singles seeds: Sinner leading the field, Alcaraz in hunt for second place
ATPSaturday, 17 August 2024 at 05:00
With the 2024 US Open less than two weeks away, Italian tennis superstar Jannik Sinner is confirmed to be the top seed at a Grand Slam event for just the second time in his young career.
Sinner has been in impeccable form this season, winning the Australian Open in January before obtaining the World No.1 ranking. The 23-year old is a lock to hold onto that position until the start of the final Grand Slam of the year in New York, which kicks off on August 26, 2024.
Djokovic, Alcaraz in battle for second seed
Former World No.1 Novak Djokovic withdrew from the ongoing Cincinnati Open, where he is the defending champion. The Serbian dropped 1,000 ranking points, and is currently ranked as World No.2. However, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz is hot on his heels, as the Wimbledon champion will need to reach the quarterfinals in Cincinnati in order to catch up to Djokovic in the ATP Live rankings.
German tennis star Alexander Zverev is fourth in the Live rankings, and a title run in Cincinnati could see him leapfrog to the No.2 spot. Daniil Medvedev will be seeded fifth following his early loss with Andrey Rublev, Hubert Hurkacz and Casper Ruud battling it out for sixth spot. The cutoff date for the US Open seedings will be based on the ATP Ranking table as of August 19, 2024.

- Anti-Social media has no guardrails... and the Lowest Common Denominators are free to demean and denounce anyone, any time; and obviously do so on a daily basis. Why? Because thus far, given the lack of oversight (much less control) over these public immorally bankrupt entities, there is little-to-no possibility of legal repercussion.
mandoist11-09-2024 - Bitterness will always surface the more one cannot resist the urge to spew personal feelings. Unless this woman is running for office she doesn't get -- nor deserve -- the opportunity to literally reinvent what she plainly said the first time. She's no longer a tennis player, does not represent the sport, and should therefor refrain from meaningless drivel and snottyass remarks about her former colleagues.mandoist11-09-2024
- How is it not clear to pro tennis Elitists in charge that flooding the sport with more and more tournaments is NOT the answer? Such decisions made through PURE GREED disguised as "offering more up & coming players a chance to compete". This sport is, at the very foundation, a Business. Any corporate entity should know by now that introducing too many 'franchises' to a limited market is counterproductive to say the very least? And let us not forget the Top Athletes cannot be everywhere week-to-week no matter how much money the tourneys throw at them. Therefor you get a situation such as the US Open missing out on the Best-of-the-Best. Simple economics -- and definitely common sense -- seems to be lost on the WTA/ATP 'experts' in the offices.mandoist11-09-2024
