Abundant anticipation and many mysteries yet to unfold. This is how the US Open 2024 presents itself, potentially adding another memorable chapter to tennis history. The identities of the 32 seeds in each singles draw are already known, along with how they are arranged, something that can determine the tournament's course through the potential matchups that will arise after the draw.

The show is guaranteed at Flushing Meadows, with two weeks ahead filled with magical moments in this US Open 2024. Now that it is known the draws will be published this Thursday around 18:00 Spanish time, it is worth analyzing in detail the possible matchups that chance could bring, reviewing the order of the seeds and recalling why this is considered a crucial factor. Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic can only meet in a hypothetical final, Carlos Alcaraz will face one of them in the middle rounds, and there are potentially dangerous encounters ahead.

It is essential to remember why the order of the seeds is so important. The 32 players in each singles draw who enjoy this privilege know in advance that they won't face another seed before the third round. By then, they will potentially encounter one of the world's best, but their specific positions determine the potential matchups. Alcaraz is aware that he could face Sinner or Djokovic in the semifinals, yet there is much more to explore.

Third Round

  • Seeds 1 to 8 meet seeds 25 to 32
  • Seeds 9 to 16 meet seeds 17 to 24

 

Round of 16

  • Seeds 1 to 4 meet seeds 13 to 16
  • Seeds 5 to 8 meet seeds 9 to 12

  22. Alejandro Tabilo
  23. Karen Khachanov
  24. Arthur Fils
  25. Jack Draper
  26. Nicolás Jarry
  27. Alexander Bublik
  28. Alexei Popyrin
  29. Francisco Cerúndolo
  30. Matteo Arnaldi
  31. Flavio Cobolli
  32. Jiri Lehecka

 

The favorites may encounter challenges from the early rounds, but the real intensity could ignite as early as the third round where the top eight players could face opponents like Draper, Jarry, Bublik, or the recently crowned champion in Montreal, Popyrin. All of them could prove to be tough nuts to crack, so it seems sensible to hope for somewhat easier draws against players like Cobolli, an ongoing recovery for Lehecka, or even Cerúndolo and Arnaldi.

Looking ahead to the round of 16, there are no weak opponents. The power of Shelton in New York could be lethal, while Paul and Rune are formidable rivals, and Korda is in good form, albeit perhaps the least concerning for the top players. Keep an eye on the progress of players like Tiafoe, Auger-Aliassime, Musetti, Fritz, or Tsitsipas, as they could push their limits and challenge the status quo. In potential quarterfinals, Ruud and Hurkacz appear more approachable, yet Medvedev and Rublev remain ever dangerous.
