The 2024 U.S. Open began in earnest on Monday with the first matches of the main draw singles tournaments.
Defending champions Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff bid to become the first repeat singles winners since Serena Williams a decade ago.
Djokovic, coming off his first Olympic gold medal, eyes a 25th Grand Slam singles title to break his tie with Margaret Court for the most in history.
Gauff, who last year became the youngest American to win a major singles title since the first of Williams’ 23 in 1999, looks to extend a streak: an American man or woman has made at least one Grand Slam singles final every year in the modern era.
It hasn’t happened yet this year at the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon.
