 Alright so the US Open Draw has just been revealed. I'm going to start with the men's draw to start us off because we had big news with Djokovic pulling out a couple of hours ago and now the draw has been revealed and There are some interesting matchups Let's take a look at the withdrawals though because there's some big names that are not playing this event They're with the withdrawals. We have five players that are not playing in this event starting with Lloyd Harris He's not playing. We have Gael Moffi's. He's also not playing Alexander Zverev He pulled out as well didn't want to play five sets in his return, which is fair enough Opaulka pulled out with injury and of course Djokovic pulled out because he couldn't get into the country Alright, let's start at the top of the draw. We have 32 seeds in this one No one gets a buy in the first round because it's a slam. Everyone's got to play every match Mehbidev takes on Kozlov in the first round winner of that takes on Hellas or Rindinik in the second round So tricky start there for Mehdi and then he got Shelton the wildcard taking on a quali Winner of that match takes on another qualifier or Basilech Vili the 31st seed So Mehbidev versus Basilech Vili possible third round Then you got the battle the Aussies the battle of the teammates Kirios the 23rd seed takes on Kokonakis that hurts isn't as an Australian that hurts to see but that's gonna be five sets There that's so much fun to watch Bonzi or Umbair will play the winner of that all Aussie clash Then you've got Tavilo versus Matruzak winner of that match takes on JJ Wolf or Batista Ragu the 16th seed So nice draw for Mehbidev and especially with Kirios who's got to play his best mate and then maybe Umbair Who he's played a lot and had a lot of very long matches against Mehbidev if he does play Kirios We'll get a tired Kirios. Then we've got the next section of the draw still in the top quarter We've got one of the best first-round matches and most intriguing first-round matches Grinja Buster number 12 Seed takes on Dominic team the wildcard see what that looks like Then you winner that will take on either public or Gaston in the second round Then you've got Gary in versus Lehecker winner of that takes on either Krayanovich or the number 18 seed Diminor in the second round then you have Hashinov the 27th seed taken on Kutla winner of that match takes on either Mulchan or Montero in the second round then you got Draper versus Roussevoree winner of that match takes on either a qualifier or Felix Ojalia seen the number six seed in the second round So a bit more wide open in this section of the draw of this part of the draw And of course this section of the draw will take on Mehbidev section So quarter-finals could be Mehbidev versus FAA we could get Mehbidev taken on Krinyo Buster We're going by form if you want to go a little bit more random maybe Kyrios takes on FAA The Keegs can get it all together. The next section of the draw is the Sidze pass section We have the number four seed seven on Sidze pass taken on Aquali Winner of that match takes on either Senego or Thompson in the second round Then we've got Nishioca taken on Fakina winner of that match takes on either Fuchovic or Cressy the 30th Seed in the second round then you've got Serendola the 24th seed taken on Andy Murray A winner of that match takes on either Milman or Narva the wild card in the second round Then you got Etcheverry taking on Anduha winner of that match takes on either Dillion or Baratini the 13th seed in the second round So Baratini's got a nice draw as well Sidze pass Baratini fourth round potentially then we've got Taylor Fritz Number 10 seed taken on a qualifier winner of that takes on either Betonay or Cashion in the second round Then you've got Stan Vavrinca playing a qualifier winner of that match takes on either another quality The last year's quarter finalist Van Isanschel the 21st seed then you've got the 29th seed Paul taking on Morales Winner of that match takes on either quarter or a qualifier in the second round Then you've got another quality taken on Van Rijtoven a winner of that match will take on either Edmund or the number five seed Rude in the second round. So look again like I said, this is not a bad section for Sidze pass You know, we could be getting quarter finals between Rude and Steff if that's the you know, we're going by the seeds But it could be more likely be Sidze pass taken on Fritz Okay The next section of the draw is the Alcaraz part of the draw, but we're gonna start with her catch number eight seed He takes on Otta in the first round winner of that match takes on either Quarry or a Vashka in the second round Then we've got Manorino taking on a qualifier winner of that match takes on either Goffan Number 26 seed Moussetti in the second round, then you got the number 17 seed Dmitriop taking on Johnson winner of that match takes on either Nakashima or a qualifier in the second round Then you've got another qualifier taken on Martiniz winner of that match takes on either Oatmaier number 11 seed Sinner in the second round and that's not a bad draw for Sinner Then next part of the draw you've got Chilich taking on a qualifier the number 15 seed Chilich and obviously a former champion here Then you know winner of that match will take on either another qualifier or Ramos for Noles in the second round Then you got Duckworth taking on O'Connell winner of that match takes on either Vessely or the number 20th seed Evans in the second round Then you got Chorich the 25th seed taken on O'Qually winner of that match will take on either Brooksby or Lyovic in the second round Then you've got Gricksport taken on Coria winner of that match takes on either Baez or the number three seed Alcaraz in the second round So Alcaraz Chorich third round potential in that one and that'd be fun to watch very fun match to watch What do they look like? They're very interesting players. They play very similar games very aggressive I want to see those guys playing the third round and if we're gonna go with quarter final matchups We could be going with Sinner versus Alcaraz, which has been a match we've seen over the last couple of months Once on grass once on clay. Maybe the third ones on a hard court Maybe Chorich takes on Sinner if you want to go with the more informed guy in Chorich Or even her catch I mean her catch Chorich her catch versus Alcaraz all quarter final potential In that one. All right the bottom part of the draw now. We have the wrapper section Let's start with Norrie though The number seven seed taken on Pear in the first round winner of that takes on either Sosa or McDonald in the second round Then you got Isner taken on a qualifier winner of that match takes on either Goyevchek or Runa the 28th seed in the second round Then you've got Shapovalov number 19 seed taking on Huzla winner of that match takes on either Munir or Baena in the second round then you got a qualifier take on Kwon winner of that match takes on either Jera or the number 9 seed Rubelev in the second round so a bit more open in this part of the draw I mean Norrie's got a good draw, but also Shapo or Rubelev I mean who's to say they can't go far then the last sections of the draw We've got the number 14 seed Schwartzman taken on sock winner of that match takes on either Poprin or Seng in the second round then you've got Kubla taking on Ima winner of that match takes on either Giron or Tiafo the 22nd seed in the third round Sorry in the second round, then you got Ketchuminovich the 32nd seed taking on a wild card Tien in the first round Winner of that match takes on either Daniel or Gaskay in the second then you got Fanini takes on Karatev Winner of that match takes on either the wild card Hedgikata or Raffa Nardala number two seed We're going out. It's a great start for Raffa, but the second round could be a nightmare And you can see there Raffa versus Ketchuminovich that could be a third round But Raffa's got a good draw besides that second round nightmare With Fanini or Karatev once he gets through that quarter finals left the taking quarter final potentially between Raffa and Norrie Raffa Rubelev could be a quarter final. I would be honest Raffa's got a nice draw if he can get through that second round All right, there it is who's gonna win this tournament who is gonna win the US Open on the men's side I'm gonna go with Medvedev because I picked him at the end of last year And I just think he's gonna go back to back He plays so well here every year semi-final a few years ago then semi-finals and he won it last year Medvedev loves playing in New York So I'm gonna go with Medvedev. Let me know down in the comments below if you're watching this later Or in the chat who is going to win the US Open
