Carlos Alcaraz is the favorite to win the 2024 US Open and potentially become just the 12th man in tennis history to win the three-quarter slam — winning

It is the very same Djokovic who is the second-favorite to win an all-time-record-extending 25th major to go with a fifth US Open crown, which would tie him for theItalian Jannik Sinner, however, may have something to say about this apparent two-horse race. The 23-year-old won the Australian Open earlier this year for his first-ever major title. He then followed that up with a semifinal run at the French Open.
The 26-year-old Belarusian’s success has not sustained after her early major win, though. She was bounced out of the quarterfinals at the French Open and then was forced to withdraw from Wimbledon with a shoulder injury. Gauff is in search of a repeat title and with it, a second-ever major win. She has not made a championship round of a major since, losing in the semifinals at the Australian and French Open before a fourth-round exit at Wimbledon.Perhaps it is why she is the third-favorite to win with odds well behind Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, the No. 1 ranked women’s player in the world who has a French Open title to her name this season.
