Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz to headline US Open exhibition match
ATPFriday, 16 August 2024 at 13:00
Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic and Spain’s Carlos
Alcaraz will play a doubles exhibition match at the US Open. The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year will begin on August 26, and players from
all over the world will participate to showcase their talent at the highest level
and secure the ultimate prize.
Ahead of the mega-event, a blockbuster doubles exhibition match will take place at the Flashing Meadows on August 21. The match will feature two of the biggest stars in men’s tennis currently: Djokovic and Alcaraz. Serbia’s legendary tennis star will partner former world number one John McEnroe, whereas the young Spaniard will partner legendary
American tennis star Andre Agassi.
Djokovic remains the most successful player in the history
of men’s tennis in the singles category in the Open era, having won as many as
24 Grand Slam titles in his illustrious career. The Belgrade-born star will be
coming into the contest after winning the gold medal at the Parsi Olympics after beating Spain’s Alcaraz in the final in straight sets, 7-6, 7-6.
On the other hand, Alcaraz is perhaps the most highly-rated
young tennis player currently playing in men’s tennis. He has won four Grand
Slams in his illustrious career. Two of those victories came this year. He
lifted the French Open after beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in a five-set
thriller with a score of 6–3, 2–6, 5–7, 6–1, 6–2. He then lifted the Wimbledon
title after beating Djokovic in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6.
McEnroe, who retired from tennis in 2006, ended his career
after winning seven Grand Slam titles. Agassi, on the other hand, retired from the sport in 2006 as well, finishing his career with eight Grand Slam titles in his illustrious career.

- 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.

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
