Djokovic eyes elusive 25th major at US Open with Zverev as main hurdle

Novak Djokovic eyes a record 25th Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open, with Jannik Sinner sidelined and Carlos Alcaraz returning from injury. Despite Alcaraz and Sinner's combined five wins over Djokovic in recent majors, the Serbian's belief remains strong. Djokovic's best chance in years was his Australian Open loss to Alcaraz, yet he is optimistic about securing his fifth U.S. Open title.

Swiss legend Roger Federer remains convinced that Djokovic can still compete at the highest level, and American talents like Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe are poised to make their mark in New York.
