Judging by the world's bookmakers, Novak Djokovic is the first favorite to raise the trophy in New York for the third time. He is followed by Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. 

Novak will go on the field on Tuesday, and his first match will be against the Hungarian Marton Fucsovics. Their duel is on the stadium "Arthur Ashe" which will be around 18:00 h.

Other Serbian representatives will also play on Tuesday, Laslo Djere, Viktor Troicki, Filip Krajinovic and Aleksandra Krunic, while Dusan Lajovic will play his match on Monday evening against Damir Djumhur.

Rafael Nadal will play on the first day, defending champion in the US Open, and his opponent is David Ferer. Logically, they'll play at night.

Interestingly, this is the first Grand Slam where the Big Four will appear together (Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, and Andy Murray), since Wimbledon in 2017.  However, only two out of four were seen in the semi-finals according to tennis experts who created a complete prediction of the draw.

FIRST QUARTER

Nadal is definitely a favorite in this part of the draw, especially since he recently won his first masters on hard ground in Toronto after five years.

Kevin Anderson is the second in ''ranking '' in this group. Wimbledon's finalist in the third round is expected to play against Shapovalov, and there are also Dominic Thiem, Misha Zverev, and Kyle Edmund.

SECOND QUARTER

Here we also have an interesting group where Stan Wawrinka and Grigor Dimitrov will meet in Round 1.

Also, Del Potro is someone who could mess up plans for many. Especially to Maria with whom he meets in the 3rd round.

However, the experts see Wawrinka as a semi-finalist from this part of the draw, which includes Tsitsipas, Izner, Raonic, and Coric.

THIRD QUARTER

Perhaps the weakest group in which Croatian Marin Cilic is the first favorite.

In the quarter-finals, we could watch the potential duel between him and Sasa Zverev who recently announced that he wants to win the trophy going through the best ones.

Experts favor the Croat, and together with them, there are still Nishikori, Mannarino, our Krajinovic, and Schwartzman.

FOURTH QUARTER

Only two tennis players will ask questions around here - Djokovic and Federer.

Their potential duel is projected in the quarter-finals, and the advantage is given to our tennis player who won against Federer in the Finals of the Master in Cincinnati.

The only one worth mentioning here is Nick Kyrgios.

According to the experts and analysts, Djokovic and Cilic will meet in the semifinals, and Nadal and Wawrinka, while the Serbian and the Spanish player will fight for the trophy.
