The fourth and final Grand Slam of the 2022 season, the US Open, will see Daniil Medvedev and Emma Raducanu put their titles on the line. Medvedev and Raducanu won last year, against tough odds, to cap off a remarkable fortnight for both players. World No 1 Medvedev and four-time champion Rafael Nadal lead the field among the men with Novak Djokovic missing because of his unvaccinated status. Among the women, Raducanu will have the pressure on her given the meteoric rise in the last 12 months.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner announced she is “evolving” into another chapter in her life. When is the US Open?
