The last Grand Slam of the year, the US Open kicks off on Monday, with all the top players in attendance on both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s section. The draw is out, and interestingly for Novak Djokovic, who will be seeking a 25th Slam, his three biggest challengers \u2013 Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner \u2013 are all on the opposite side of the draw, which means he won\u2019t meet them before the final.\nWorld No. 1 Sinner enters the event under the cloud of a doping controversy, and it remains to be seen if that affects his game or preparations. On the women\u2019s side, as usual, the Big Three \u2013 Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina -- remain the favourites, with a couple of dark horses in the likes of Jessica Pegula and Jasmine Paolini.\nWho are the stars in form? Which are the match-ups to look out for? And what are the prospects for Indian hope Sumit Nagal? \n\nGuest: N Sudarshan from The Hindu\u2019s Sports Bureau. \nHost: G. Sampath, Social Affairs Editor, The Hindu.\nEdited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian.
