ONLY THREE HAVE CRACKED BIG FOUR: The Big Four of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray has won 45 of the last 50 Grand Slam titles. Only former US Open champions Juan Martin del Potro, Marin Cilic and Stan Wawrinka have broken the Big Four’s dominance during that stretch, with Wawrinka winning three Grand Slams. Since 2005 Roland Garros, Nadal and Federer have both captured 15 Grand Slam titles (Djokovic-12, Murray-3).

THREE-QUARTER SLAM: Roger Federer enters the US Open for the fourth time as the reigning and Wimbledon champion (also in 2004, 2006 and 2007). Federer went on to win the US Open title in all three of those years.

FEELS LIKE HOME TO HIM: Stadium turns 20 at the 2017 US Open, and no man has won or played more matches inside the biggest tennis arena in the world than Roger Federer (66-8). Federer also owns the most evening- session wins among men since 1980 (31-1) and could pass Andre Agassi (28-5) for the most evening-session matches.

2006 ALL OVER AGAIN: Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have combined to win Open, Roland Garros and Wimbledon titles for the fifth time (also in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010). Federer or Nadal went on to win the US Open title in all but one of those years. Juan Martin del Potro defeated Nadal and Federer en route to the 2009 US Open title.

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. 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 five occasions, they were only one match away.

Year Round Who Lost? What Happened? 2008 SF Nadal Nadal lost to Murray, who lost to Federer in final. 2009 SF Nadal Nadal lost to del Potro, who beat Federer in final. 2010 SF Federer Federer held 2 MPs but lost to Djokovic, who lost to Nadal in final. 2011 SF Federer Federer held 2 MPs but lost to Djokovic, who beat Nadal in final. 2013 4R Federer Federer lost to Robredo, who lost to eventual champion Nadal in QF.

HARD-COURT DROUGHT: Rafael Nadal will reach 144 weeks overall as World No. 1 during the US Open.

Nadal has played 34 hard-court events and eight hard-court finals since his last title on the surface at 2014 .

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED: Marin Cilic, the 2014 champion, will attempt to become the first player in the Open Era to win the US Open title with no matches since Wimbledon. Cilic missed and due to an adductor injury.

SASCHA SEEKS BREAKTHROUGH: Alexander Zverev has yet to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final. But after winning back-to-back titles earlier this month at and ATP Masters 1000 Montreal, Zverev has emerged as the No. 4 seed at the US Open. Should the 20-year-old capture his third title of the summer and sixth of the season in New York, he would become the second-youngest US Open champion in the Open Era behind only a 19-year-old Pete Sampras in 1990.

DIMITROV DELIVERING: Grigor Dimitrov held in 52 of 53 service games en route to the biggest title of his career at ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati. Dimitrov, the No. 7 seed, has never reached the US Open quarter-finals. The Cincinnati champion has won the US Open title once in the last nine years (Rafael Nadal in 2013). Dimitrov, Roger Federer, Alexander Zverev, and Cincinnati finalist are among those who could make it six straight years with a different US Open champ.

UNSEEDED STATS: There has not been an unseeded US Open semi-finalist since in 2006, finalist since in 1998 and champion since Andre Agassi in 1994. The US Open went from 16 to 32 seeds in 2001.

THEY’RE UNSEEDED TOO: Gilles Muller (2008) and Nicolas Escude (1999) both reached the US Open quarter-finals for the best finish by a qualifier in the Open Era. Jimmy Connors did one better by reaching the 1991 semi-finals for the best finish by a .
