Novak Djokovic

Djokovic added his 2023 title to prior US Open wins in 2018, 2015, and 2011, standing apart from Zverev's first championship in the 2026 final against Shelton.

Djokovic's first-round US Open defeat to Mariano Navone drops him from world No. 5 to No. 12, ending the Big Three's 24-year presence in the ATP top 10 for the first time since October 2002.

The last five US Open men's champions prevailed through mental and physical toughness at decisive moments rather than superior shot-making. Djokovic embodied this in 2023 by weathering Medvedev's record-length set and pulling away.

Djokovic steps into the 2026 US Open semifinals as the two-time defending champion with a 40-6 lifetime record at Flushing Meadows, highlighting his lasting dominance in the tournament.

Djokovic's 25-11 head-to-head lead and No. 5 ranking against Murray's No. 160 mark him the heavy favorite, yet this edge reflects historical dominance rather than current-form proof.

Alcaraz holds the fourth-best Open Era Grand Slam win index at 0.872 (95-14), just behind Djokovic's 0.874 (409-59).
