In the days of the coronavirus, everything is asepsis. Also in the draw for US Open box, which starts on Monday. A ceremony that champions usually attend, but this year it was held without retransmission and without Rafa Nadal or Bianca Andreescu. The two have resigned for prevention. Thus, and with Roger Federer injured, Novak Djokovic knew the path that could lead him to his 18th great and stay one from the Spanish and two from the Swiss.
The Serbian will debut with Dzumhur (107th) and its route seems accessible. With the gunner Isner in the round of 16, Goffin in the quarterfinals, Tsitsipas or Zverev in the semifinals and Thiem or Medvedev in the final. The number one is presented as a great favorite.
Roberto Bautista (12th in the world) travels at the bottom of the frame. His first rival will be Tennys Sandgren (55th) and in the quarterfinals he could collide with Dominic Thiem, which in turn starts against Jaume Munar.
Fernando Verdasco also resigned from entering the bubble. And there will be nine Spaniards in total. The others are Carreño, Ramos (first round against Tsitsipas), Andújar, Davidovich, Martínez Portero and Feliciano (73 consecutive Grand Slam) who will face Carballés.
