Tennis fans recently witnessed an interesting final of the Cincinnati Open 2023 between World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and the Serb veteran Novak Djokovic. The latter won the title clash by 5-7, 7-6, and 7-6 and cleared off the books with Alcaraz after a defeat in the Wimbledon 2023 final.

Meanwhile, IBM AI, an artificial intelligence software, has come up with an analysis where they predicted the difficulty level of the draws of some tennis stars in the upcoming Asia Cup 2023. IBM’s analysis understands that Novak Djokovic has the easiest draw in the Men’s singles of the US Open 2023.

Following Djokovic, it is none other than the World No. 1 star and the young Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz who has the second easiest draw in the US Open 2023 Men’s singles. Djokovic will start his campaign in the tournament with his first match against French star Alexandre Muller at the Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday, the 29th of August.

On the other hand, Wimbledon 2023 champion, Carlos Alcaraz will take on Dominic Koepfer in his campaign opener in the US Open 2023. Both stars will take on each other at the Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday, the 30th of August.

Other than Djokovic and Alcaraz on the number 1 and number 2 in the comparison of easiest draws of the men’s singles, Jannik Sinner is on the third spot in this list followed by Daniil Medvedev and Frances Tiafoe in the fourth and fifth spot.
