THE PREDICTION

World number two Novak Djokovic comes into the US Open as a three-time former champion (2011, 2015, 2018) with a five-match winning streak after defeating Carlos Alcaraz from a set down to win the Cincinnati Masters last week. The 36-year-old utilised every bit of his typical determination to edge through two tiebreaks against the player who had only just ended his dominant reign at Wimbledon in a five-set classic and parts of their Cincinnati match had quality that eclipsed even that. The potential for another clash between defending US Open champion Alcaraz and Djokovic in two weeks’ time is mouth-watering and the Serb has been gifted one of the kindest draws of his career with a clear pathway through to the last eight at least. World number 85 Alexandre Muller has enjoyed an excellent breakthrough season on tour but the Frenchman brings a four-match losing streak into this biggest match of his career and it is likely that Djokovic can come through in comfortable straight sets.
