Two out of the top three seeds have been knocked out of the US Open 2024 during the first week, causing a true uproar among many fans who did not expect such a turn of events. Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic are out of the tournament, and a similar situation hasn't been seen at the New York Grand Slam since the 2000 edition, when Kuerten and Agassi didn't make it to the round of 16. To find a comparable occurrence before that, one must go back to 1973, with the early exits of Nastase and Ashe.

📊 For the 3rd time since the beginning of the Open era (and the first time in 24 years), 2 out of the 3 top seeds of the #USOpen were defeated in the first week:
▪️ 1973: Nastase (❌ R32) & Ashe (❌ R16)
▪️ 2000: Kuerten (❌ R64) & Agassi (❌ R32)
