Belinda Bencic (no 11) should have an easy 1st round at the US Open. The two-time Olympic medalist will face Dutch Arantxa Rus (WTA 69), whom she has twice beaten in two duels.

Semi-finalist in 2019 at Flushing Meadwos, Belinda Bencic is in the first half of the table and could challenge Wimbledon winner Ashleigh Barty (No.1) in the quarter-finals. The first seed likely to stand on the road to the St-Galloise is the American Jessica Pegula (no 23), in the third round.
Teichmann-Bencic en 8e?
Unhappy finalist in Cincinnati last Sunday, Jil Teichmann (WTA 44) will battle it out with a player from qualifying in the first round. The left-hander could face Anett Kontaveit (no 28) in the second round, Iga Swiatek (no 7) in the third and, why not, Belinda Bencic in the round of 16.
Last Swiss woman admitted directly to the final table. Viktorija Golubic (WTA 45) was not spoiled by the draw. The Wimbledon quarter-finalist will challenge in the 1st round the winner of the 2019 edition of the US Open, the Canadian Bianca Andreescu (no 6). The Zurich woman is also at the top of the table.
A Tsitsipas-Murray shock
In search of a historic Grand Slam calendar after his coronations in Melbourne, Paris and London, Novak Djokovic (no 1) will rub shoulders with a qualified for his entry into the running. The Serbian could find his victim in the Wimbledon final Matteo Berrettini (no.6) in the quarterfinals, then Olympic champion Alexander Zverev (no.4) in the semi-final.
The 1st round will also be the scene of a clash between the Roland-Garros finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas (no 3) and the former world no 1 Andy Murray (ATP 114). Favorite at the bottom of the table, the finalist of the 2019 edition Daniil Medvedev (no 2) will face Richard Gasquet (ATP 82) in the first round.
