    World No1 Novak Djokovic will begin his bid for a fourth US Open title by taking on Damir Dzumhur in the first round in New York.

    In the absence of defending champion Rafael Nadal – who cited concerns over coronavirus when withdrawing from the hard-court Grand Slam – and the injured Roger Federer, Djokovic is the favourite to lift the trophy at Flushing Meadows. If he is successful, the Serb will move to within one major of Nadal, who is on 19, and two of Federer, who has 20.

    Nick Kyrgios was another player to opt out of the tournament, which begins on Sunday, due to his wariness over Covid-19, improving the chances of No2 seed Dominic Thiem – who takes on Jaume Munar in the first round – as well as last year’s runner-up Daniil Medvedev, who faces Federico Delbonis in his first match.

    Elsewhere, reigning ATP Finals champion Stefanos Tsitispas, the No4 seed, comes up against Albert Ramos-Vinolas. Alexander Zverev, seeded fifth, faces two-time Grand Slam finalist Kevin Anderson.

    Wild card Andy Murray has a first-round match against Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka ahead of him, and the 2012 champion could take on 20-year-old hotshot Felix Auger Aliassime in the second round ahead of a potential third-round clash with fellow Briton Dan Evans.

    As a result, Karolina Pliskova is top seed, and she takes on Anhelina Kalinina in the first round, while six-time champion Serena Williams – who finished as runner-up in 2018 and 2019 – prepares to face fellow American Kristie Ahn.

    Sixteen-year-old sensation Coco Gauff of America faces 31st seed Anastasija Sevastova in the first round, while Britons Johanna Konta and Heather Watson square off.
