An American man hasn't won the U.S. Open since Andy Roddick in 2003, with Taylor Fritz being the recent runner-up. Lindsay Davenport sees potential in an American winning this year, particularly in Ben Shelton, who recently won a tournament and has prior success at Flushing Meadows. Other American contenders include Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, and Tommy Paul, as they aim to overcome the dominance of World No. 1 Sinner and No. 2 Alcaraz. Coco Gauff is a key player on the women's side as well, heading into the tournament after inconsistent performances.
"It's hard to think that someone else is going to win, but we also have some great American talent. Ben Shelton is obviously going to come in with a lot of momentum."
"If an American man wants to hoist the U.S. Open trophy up in a few weeks, he'll likely have to beat at least one of these two (Sinner or Alcaraz) to do so."
