Carlos Alcaraz enters the 2026 US Open as the leading favorite to reach the final despite a four-month absence with a right wrist injury, his first competitive action since April, while world No. 1 Jannik Sinner withdrew with a knee issue that has widened the field. Top seed Alexander Zverev, fresh off a French Open title and Wimbledon final, holds the next-strongest position with a relatively favorable path, followed by Novak Djokovic, Ben Shelton, Arthur Fils, and Taylor Fritz. The draw reveal highlighted bracket imbalances, with Alcaraz facing an early test against Roman Safiullin and several Americans benefiting from home-crowd support and recent form on hard courts. Market pricing reflects trader emphasis on Alcaraz’s proven Grand Slam pedigree versus uncertainty around his match fitness and the depth of challengers in both halves.
