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.

No one could have imagined that Carlos Alcaraz would fall so early in the US Open 2024, and his defeat leaves a significant power vacuum in his section of the draw. Despite the high level shown by Botic Van de Zandschulp, it is evident that his progression is seen as a great opportunity for other players. One of them is Jack Draper, his opponent in the third round.

The winner of the match between Goffin and Machac also has reasons to dream of continuing to advance, while Álex de Miñaur has an exciting prospect of reaching the semifinals. Additionally, Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev, who could face each other in the quarterfinals and had Carlitos as a potential opponent in the semifinals, have reasons to be excited following the early exit of the Spaniard.

Paula Badosa referred to the defeat suffered by Carlos Alcaraz in the second round of the 2024 US Open during a press conference and all the media buzz it has generated. "I know it will always be like this, but it never ceases to amaze me to read negative comments about a guy who has won two Grand Slams, has been number 1, won a silver medal in the Olympics, and will win much more. Everyone is human; it's part of our job. We should be cheering him every day," she concluded in statements collected by Eurosport.

A condemnation as cruel as unexpected. That is what this defeat of Carlos Alcaraz in the 2024 US Open means for his aspirations of returning to the number 1 spot in the world in the short term. Despite winning two Grand Slam tournaments and a Masters 1000, the player from Murcia could face the final stretch of the season outside of the top 3 in the world rankings and even drop to fifth place after the New York Grand Slam.

If Daniil Medvedev wins the title and Novak Djokovic reaches the final, Alcaraz would drop to fifth place. He would fall out of the top 3 if either of these two scenarios plays out and could end up trailing the number 1 spot by 4,490 points if Jannik Sinner wins the tournament. Even if Sinner doesn't win, the gap between them will be significant, so Alcaraz's chances of ending the year at the top of the ATP rankings have greatly diminished.

Historic night for Botic Van de Zandschulp in the US Open 2024 with his three-set victory over Carlos Alcaraz. A sublime performance by the Dutchman that puts him in an unfamiliar position in his career, though fully deserved considering his performance and post-match words. He appeared so calm in front of the microphone after defeating the World No. 3 in the second round.

“I'm speechless, it's been an incredible night, it’s the first time I've had a night session at Arthur Ashe. The crowd has been amazing, thank you for that because it’s been an unbelievable night. The truth is that the last match gave me a lot of confidence, I played very well in the last match. Today, from the first point, I believed I could have a chance,” assessed the Dutch player.

For several seasons now, we have been reading some data about Spanish male tennis that makes us think our best moments in history are already in the past. At this US Open 2024, we come across one of those records that we could never have imagined. For the first time this century, we will see a Grand Slam without any Spanish player in the third round of the men's draw, something that hasn't happened since 1999, when it occurred both in the Australian Open and the US Open. It's a painful fact that shows the strong reliance we currently have on Carlos Alcaraz. We hope to bring better news for 2025.
