Printable draw.
We have history in the making. Novak is going for a calendar slam, which hasn't happened since 1969, to take the slam count lead and probably put the stamp on GOAT. Very exciting.
Defending champion Dominic Thiem is out, Roger is out, Rafa is out. Novak's draw look pretty easy. I'd be surprised if we don't see a Djokovic/Zverev semi and Djokovic/Medvedev final, but perhaps a Sinner or Rublev can make some noise.
Serena is out on the ladies' side. It looks like Barty's world right now, but I have doubts about her slice backhand game on the hardcourts.
Hopefully COVID doesn't ruin this thing.

What is our Covid status on this one?

I am fat and out of shape, and probably am more ready to handle the mental pressure and Naomi Osaka.

I'm hoping there are no issues with the players. But, the communists in NYC want a vax card for fans, I think.

Sucks for Novak that Zverev is on his half of the draw.

How many of y'all have been to the US Open? I have to make it out there one of these years.
Hopefully Isner match is televised. Should be starting soon.

I have been. It's really awesome.
Would not go anywhere near that event this year.

I went three years ago. I would say go early in the tournament when a lot is going on. Do night matches if you don't want to deal with a steam bath all day.
Stephens/Keys was like a major semi in the first round. Poor Madi loses 8-6 in the third set breaker.

Yeah, I went during the 3rd and 4th round matches. I was at the Nadal/Cilic match when Nadal went around the net. Never heard a crowd erupt like that at any sporting event ever.
The grounds are freaking awesome. That was also the tournament where Novak withdrew against Stan and the energy in the stadium and on the grounds was electric.
Also met Kyrgios trying to get beers at one of the bars on the grounds late at night after he had been eliminated earlier that day.

I haven’t had the pleasure of watching professional tennis in person yet. Got a feeling it’s going to blow me away.

Agreed. The earlier days are better and also watching doubles is awesome
