The absence of world No. 1 Jannik Sinner due to a right knee injury has reshaped the men's singles bracket at the 2026 US Open, elevating Alexander Zverev to the top seed with a relatively favorable path while leaving defending champion Carlos Alcaraz as the second seed in a tougher bottom half after more than four months sidelined by a wrist issue. Alcaraz's limited match play raises questions about his sharpness on hard courts, though his historical success in New York and projected quarterfinal matchup with Ben Shelton or Arthur Fils keep him central to trader discussions. Novak Djokovic benefits from a navigable section as he chases a record 25th major, while American players like Shelton, Taylor Fritz, and Frances Tiafoe eye semifinal berths amid strong recent form. Main-draw action begins August 30, with semifinals scheduled for September 11.
