While Carlos Alcaraz has had a phenomenal form in the 2024 season, Novak Djokovic has struggled for a major part of the season. However, the Serb stepped up his level at the Paris Olympics and clinched the elusive gold by defeating Alcaraz.

Heading into the 2024 US Open, the 37-year-old has decided to sit out the Cincinnati Masters, where he was the defending champion, whereas Alcaraz, who lost to him in the final, is in the second round. The two men produced ATP's match of the year in the final of the Masters 1000 in three hours and 49 minutes, where the 24-time Major champion prevailed.

The Serb will be looking to win an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam at the US Open, whereas Carlos Alcaraz will look to complete the calendar Surface Slam (winning at least one Major on each surface in a calendar year).
