Command Analysis
Novak Djokovic
SerbiaDjokovic missed the series of North American hard tournaments before the US Open due to a shoulder injury, which he got during the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
That's why Djokovic failed to win any medal at the Olympics. But now it looks like Djokovic healed an injury, so he is ready to complete the Calendar Year Grand Slam.
Holger Rune
DenmarkRune advanced into the main draw through qualification. He is more used to play on clay, but now he is looking pretty solid on hard as well.
18-year old Danish player recorded victories over Lukas Lacko (6:4, 6:4), Mitchell Krueger (6:4, 6:1) and Mats Moraing (6:4, 3:6, 6:3). We should note that before the start of New York tournament Rune won competitions at San-Marino and at Verona, so now Danish player is on a 13 match winning streak.
