Rafael Nadal tipped to make most of Novak Djokovic advantage as US Open U-turn unlikely


Stefanos Tsitsipas has been backed by just 3.5 per cent of Express Sport readers to win the tournament. ‘Other’ gained 1.6 per cent of voters’ support, meaning the likes of Casper Ruud and Andrey Rublev have been ruled out of a sensational run. 

Meanwhile, Djokovic has insisted that he is preparing for the US Open as if he is going to be allowed into the country. In July, the Wimbledon champion posted on social media: “I am preparing as if I will be allowed to compete, while I await to hear if there is any room for me to travel to US. Fingers crossed!”

But it seems unlikely that the 35-year-old will be able to enter the country due to their tight restrictions on Covid vaccines. The average US daily death rate from Covid in the seven days leading up to August 9 was 562.
