US Open 2023, tough first round matches

Stefanos Tsitsipas (7 ATP) vs Milos Raonic (337 ATP)

The seventh favorite from New York (Stefanos) and the former 3rd racket of the world (Milos) will meet. The Canadian wants to revive his career at the age of 32 and after a long period when he was absent from the track due to injuries.

Jessica Pegula (3 WTA) vs Camila Giorgi (52 WTA)

The third favorite from the Flushing Meadows complex (Jessica) will face the awkward Camila, a player who can cause problems for any opponent on a good day on hard.

Olena Rybakina (4) against Marta Kostiuk (27 WTA)

The fourth favorite at the US Open and Wimbledon champion in 2022, Olena should not have an easy match against Marta. Ranked 37th in the world, Kostyuk could upset many favorites if he gets a good day.

Oleksandr Bublyk (27 ATP) vs Dominik Tim (82 ATP)

Alexander, one of the most spectacular players on the circuit and the 25th favorite in New York, will face the US Open champion: Dominic Thiem in the first round. Of course, the Austrian didn’t scare anyone during his good seasons, but he still shouldn’t be underestimated, especially at the place where he had the best performance of his career: the 2020 Arthur Ashe title.

Beatrice Haddad Maia (19 WTA) vs. Sloane Stevens (38 WTA)

The Brazilian, ranked 16th in the world, is seeded 19th in New York and will face Sloane Stephens in the first round. The American is the 2017 US Open champion.

Hugo Humbert (31 ATP) vs. Matteo Berrettini (36 ATP)

The Frenchman, seeded 29 in New York, was unlucky in the draw, facing Berrettini, a former US Open semi-finalist. Of course, the Italian isn’t necessarily in the prime of his career, but he could be a formidable opponent on American hardcourts (he serves hard and has an explosive forehand that can make a difference, especially on fast surfaces).
