What happened
The US Open looks more open than ever, and top-seeded Alexander Zverev says the absence of Jannik Sinner and questions surrounding defending champion Carlos Alcaraz as he returns from injury do little to enhance his own status as favorite.Shelton pointed to Zverev, the returning Alcaraz and Djokovic, but also to rising talents like France's Arthur Fils, who won his first ATP Masters title in Cincinnati last week.
