The prospect of the fascinating rivalry between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz continuing in another Grand Slam final will be one of the key themes when the US Open begins in New York on Monday.
Serbia's Djokovic, 36, and Spain's Alcaraz, 20, might be at the opposite ends of their careers but the pair are side-by-side as the world's two best men's players.
Few are looking beyond the joint favourites to win the men's singles at Flushing Meadows, where Djokovic is aiming for a record-equalling 24th major singles title and Alcaraz tries to defend the crown he won last year.
