US Open 2023: Top seeds, dates, prize money, live-streaming details- All you need to know

US Open 2023: The fourth and final Grand Slam tournament of the year is finally here. The US Open Tennis Championships is all set to start on Monday (August 28) in Queens, New York. Defending champion and world No.2 Carlos Alcaraz will be leading the men's singles field while Novak Djokovic, seeded second, will be marking his return to the competition after two years.

Having missed last year's US Open swing over Covid-19 restrictions, pertaining to the ban of entry of unvaccinated foreigners in America, Djokovic made a sensational return to US soil with a Cincinnati Masters title last Sunday.

Meanwhile, top-ranked Iga Swiatek, the defending women's champion, will be leading the WTA draw with Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina being the next respective names on the seedings list.

Here's a look at everything you need to know.
