Welcome to the 2018 US Open, the last Grand Slam event of the year, to be held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The US Open is the highest-attended annual sporting event in the United States of America, as well as one of the oldest. Known before 1968 as the US National Championships, the US Open is the second-oldest of the four Grand Slams after Wimbledon, and the only one to have been played each year since its inception in 1881. This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the US Open and the 138th consecutive staging overall of the tournament. The US Open has been held on the hard courts of Flushing since moving from Forest Hills in 1978. The event was played on grass through 1974 and on clay from 1975 to 1977.

TOP SPOTS AT STAKE IN ATP RANKINGS: With an unprecedented 11th Roland Garros title and a record 31st, 32nd and 33rd ATP Masters 1000 championship, World No. 1 Rafael Nadal leads No. 2 Roger Federer by 2,960 points in the ATP Rankings. Though Federer has a shot at the top spot, his own ranking is vulnerable at the US Open. No. 3 Juan Martin del Potro and No. 4 Alexander Zverev could pass Federer and rise to No. 2, which would end a 13-year run of dominance by the Big Four. Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray are the only men to have been ranked in the Top 2 since Lleyton Hewitt relinquished the No. 2 ranking to Nadal on 25 July 2005. Meanwhile, 17 different players have been No. 3 over the last 685 weeks (through 9 September). Please see below for all Top 2 scenarios in the 10 September ATP Rankings.

BIG FOUR VS. THE WORLD: Past US Open champions Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will compete at the same tournament for the first time since 2017 Wimbledon. Nadal, Federer, Djokovic or Murray has been No. 1 in the ATP Rankings for 762 consecutive weeks (2 February 2004 through 9 September 2018). Though the Big Four own 49 of the last 54 Grand Slam titles, Juan Martin del Potro, Marin Cilic and Stan Wawrinka have also won the US Open. Djokovic, Murray and Wawrinka return to New York after missing the 2017 US Open due to injuries.

ALL HE DOES IS WIN: No. 1 seed Rafael Nadal has lost three matches in 2018 -- the same number he lost in 2013 entering the US Open. Nadal is 40-3 this season and was 53-3 at the start of the 2013 US Open, where he won his 13th Grand Slam title. The Spaniard has won six Grand Slam titles as the top seed, including the US Open in 2010 and 2017.

NEVER IN OPEN ERA: Roger Federer did it at the Australian Open in 2007 and Wimbledon in 2017. Rafael Nadal did it at Roland Garros in 2008, 2010 and 2017. But no man in the Open Era has ever won the US Open title without dropping a set. Neale Fraser is the last player overall to do so, sweeping 21 sets for the 1960 US National Championships title.

GRAPPLE IN THE APPLE: Legendary boxing promoter Don King billed it the ‘Grapple in the Apple’ in 2008, but Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have still never played at the US Open. On six occasions, they were only one match away.

Year Round Loser Spoiler Finish 2008 SF Nadal Murray Murray lost to Federer in final. 2009 SF Nadal Del Potro Del Potro defeated Federer in final. 2010 SF Federer Djokovic After saving 2 MPs vs. Federer, Djokovic lost to Nadal in final. 2011 SF Federer Djokovic After saving 2 MPs vs. Federer, Djokovic beat Nadal in final. 2013 4R Federer Robredo Robredo lost to eventual champion Nadal in QF. 2017 QF Federer Del Potro Del Potro lost to eventual champion Nadal in SF.

SIXTH SENSE: No. 6 seed Novak Djokovic went 6-6 in his first six tournaments of 2018. He is 27-4 in six events since.

WHAT A WAIT: Juan Martin del Potro is playing his 22nd Grand Slam and Marin Cilic is playing his 15th since winning US Open titles respectively. Either could set an Open Era record for most attempts before winning a second Grand Slam.

SASCHA SEEKS SEMI: Alexander Zverev has won three ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles and nine titles overall, yet he’s still seeking his first Grand Slam semi-final. Zverev earned three wins from two-sets-to-one down to reach his maiden Grand Slam quarter-final at 2018 Roland Garros. However, he has suffered four losses at Grand Slams from two-sets-to- one up, including third-round matches against Hyeon Chung at the Australian Open and Ernests Gulbis at Wimbledon.

GREEK FREAK: It took Stefanos Tsitsipas nine tries to earn his first ATP World Tour win last October. Less than a year later, the #NextGenATP Greek became the youngest player to defeat four Top 10 opponents at a single event since the ATP World Tour was established in 1990. Tsitsipas defeated Dominic Thiem, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev and Kevin Anderson before No. 1 Rafael Nadal spoiled his 20th birthday in the ATP Masters 1000 Toronto final on 12 August.

MASTERING THE OPEN: Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic won ATP Masters 1000 titles in Toronto and Cincinnati respectively. The Canada champion has won the US Open title twice in the last 10 years (Nadal in 2013, Djokovic in 2011). The Cincinnati champion has won the US Open title once in the last 10 years (Nadal in 2013). Nadal also attempts to become the first player to repeat as US Open champion since Roger Federer won five straight titles from 2004-08.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN: American men are suffering the longest Grand Slam title drought in their nation’s history. The 2018 US Open marks the 15th anniversary of Andy Roddick’s sole Grand Slam championship. Roddick and Andre Agassi are the only American men’s singles finalists of the last 59 Grand Slam tournaments. They lost to Roger Federer in all five of their Grand Slam finals following the 2003 US Open. Roddick was runner-up to Federer at the 2006 US Open and at Wimbledon in 2004, 2005 and 2009. Federer defeated a 35-year-old Agassi in four sets for the 2005 US Open title.

NO NEED FOR SEED: There has not been an unseeded US Open semi-finalist since Mikhail Youzhny in 2006, finalist since Mark Philippoussis in 1998 and champion since Andre Agassi in 1994. Gilles Muller (2008) and Nicolas Escude (1999) reached the quarter-finals for the best finish by a US Open qualifier in the Open Era. Jimmy Connors advanced to the 1991 semi-finals for the best finish by a US Open wild card. Leonardo Mayer (2017), Flavio Cipolla (2008), Fernando Verdasco (2003) and Laurence Tieleman (1999) are tied for the best finish by a lucky loser, each reaching the third round.

ROGER’S RECORDS: Roger Federer is the all-time leader with 20 Grand Slam men’s singles titles and 310 weeks at No. 1 in the ATP Rankings. The Swiss could extend those records and set several new ones during the 2018 US Open.

2018 DEBUTANTS: Twenty players are making their main draw debut at the US Open: [Q] Felix Auger-Aliassime, Mirza Basic, Matteo Berrettini, Yuki Bhambri, [WC] Jenson Brooksby, Roberto Carballes Baena, Laslo Djere, [Q] Federico Gaio, Yannick Hanfmann, [Q] Lloyd Harris, [Q] Ugo Humbert, [Q] Hubert Hurkacz, Nicolas Jarry, [Q] Mitchell Krueger, [Q] Yannick Maden, Jaume Munar, [Q] Dennis Novak, [Q] Casper Ruud, [LL] Lorenzo Sonego and [15] Stefanos Tsitsipas. In the Open Era, no man has captured the US Open title in his tournament debut. The last player to win a championship in his debut at a Grand Slam event was Rafael Nadal at 2005 Roland Garros.

2017 IN REVIEW: From the tall and short to the young and old, the 2017 US Open was a record-setting tournament.

• Rafael Nadal ended his own streaks of 34 hard-court events and eight hard-court finals without a title. Nadal became the first player to win a Grand Slam title without facing a Top 25 opponent since Brian Teacher at the 1980 Australian Open.

• World No. 32 Kevin Anderson became the lowest-ranked US Open finalist in the 45-year history of ATP Rankings, the first US Open finalist from South Africa in the Open Era, and the tallest Grand Slam finalist in the Open Era at 6-foot-8.

• Semi-finalist Juan Martin del Potro rallied from two sets and two match points down to upset No. 6 seed Dominic Thiem.

• Semi-finalist Pablo Carreno Busta became the first man in the Open Era to defeat four qualifiers at a Grand Slam event.

• Diego Schwartzman became the shortest US Open quarter-finalist since fellow 5-foot-7 player Jaime Yzaga in 1994.

• Roger Federer, 36, became the oldest US Open quarter-finalist since 39-year-old Jimmy Connors in 1991. Federer improved to 17-0 against Mikhail Youzhny, 13-0 against Feliciano Lopez and 12-0 against Philipp Kohlschreiber.

• Nineteen-year-old Andrey Rublev emerged as the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since Andy Roddick, 19, in 2001.

• Qualifier Denis Shapovalov, 18, was the youngest man in the US Open fourth round since Michael Chang, 17, in 1989.

• Paolo Lorenzi, 35, became the oldest player in the Open Era to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time.
