–

With young guns Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz drawn in the same half, the road is a little easier for Novak Djokovic, who is on the bottom line of the draw as the No. 2 seed.

But it also makes the two men’s singles slots on Arthur Ashe Stadium pretty easy to call going forward, as long as these two are in the draw.

And the Canuckian Content was strong with Félix Auger-Aliassime, Denis Shapovalov, Gabriel Diallo AND Chilean-Canadian Alejandro Tabilo all in action. Mostly not overlapping. Mostly!

Okay, it WAS strong. Diallo the only one left standing.
