Jannik Sinner’s withdrawal with a right knee injury has opened the men’s draw considerably ahead of the August 30 start. Carlos Alcaraz returns as defending champion after four months sidelined by a right wrist injury, entering without recent match play or warm-up events, while Alexander Zverev assumes the top seed position with strong recent consistency and French Open title momentum. Novak Djokovic remains a factor at 39 pursuing a record 25th major. Americans Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz benefit from home support and solid hard-court form, with other contenders like Arthur Fils and Flavio Cobolli positioned for deeper runs. Trader consensus reflects Alcaraz and Zverev as the primary paths to the final, tempered by uncertainty around Alcaraz’s readiness and the potential for upsets in a less predictable field.
