The Men’s Competition
The big three of Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer head to New York City with 20 Grand Slam titles apiece, meaning this competition could be a huge swing trophy for the trio. Last year’s winner Dominic Thiem could have something to say about this however, with the Austrian accruing a healthy collection of Grand Slam trophies.

The men’s competition may not have much Australian representation, but the women’s competition is headed by the pride of the nation in Ash Barty. The world number one bowed out of the Olympic competition after winning her second major tournament at Wimbledon, however second seed Naomi Osaka has been in flying form and will look to prove a worthy competitor for Barty.
