**Jannik Sinner’s withdrawal due to a right knee injury has reshaped the US Open 2026 men’s singles bracket, removing the world No. 1 and opening clearer paths in both halves ahead of the August 30 main draw start.** Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion returning from a four-to-five-month wrist injury layoff with limited recent match play, anchors the bottom half as the consensus favorite to reach the final despite fitness questions, while Alexander Zverev, the top seed and recent French Open champion who reached the Wimbledon final, leads the top half. Novak Djokovic adds pedigree in Alcaraz’s section, and players such as Arthur Fils (fresh off a Cincinnati title), Ben Shelton, and Taylor Fritz have seen their implied probabilities rise in a more open field. The draw positions potential semifinal clashes that could determine finalists, with Alcaraz’s rust and Zverev’s current form serving as the main variables traders are weighing alongside historical hard-court results and bracket positioning.
