The Sky Sports Tennis experts have their say on who will come out on top at the US Open and which Brits could challenge. Watch the tournament exclusively live on Sky Sports between August 26 and September 8. Who will win the men's event?TIM HENMAN: I would put Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz down as the joint favourites.
The men's is so hard to call. Djokovic is the defending champion, Alcaraz has won it before and you feel Sinner will win the US Open one day. Zverev is playing really well and you can never rule him out. It's so hard to pick one name out of those four but, for me, there is certainly that little cluster that have separated themselves.
'm going heavy on Sabalenka. Everyone else has had such a challenge going from one surface to another, but on a fast hardcourt Sabalenka has to be the standout. Coco Gauff looks to rediscover spark with US Open defence Australian Open Champion Aryna Sabalenka is my women's winner. The world No 2 was forced to take some time out due to a shoulder injury over the summer, missing Wimbledon and she said while it was frustrating she was able to switch off and get some well earned rest. As she showed in Cincinnati, she's back and in the type of form which makes it difficult for others to keep up with her.
He's a banana skin for a lot of the top seeds on these lively courts - big serve, he's a lefty so he can get the ball to kick up in awkward positions. He can be really aggressive with the forehand and he's starting to come forward a lot more, which I love as an addition to his game. He could well make it through to the second week.
've got to go with Draper. Hopefully he gets a little bit of rest after Cincinnati and gets to New York with a fresh body and fresh mind. Can we even call him a surprise at this point? I think not.
