The 2021 US Open main draw runs from August 30 - September 12 in New York City at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The tournament takes place for the 141st time and is the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year. Dominic Thiem is the men’s singles defending champion but has withdrawn following an injury. Naomi Osaka is the women’s singles defending champion and will be aiming to claim the title for the third time in four years. Meanwhile, No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic looks to complete the calendar Grand Slam after winning the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon already this year. Should the Serbian lift the title here for the fifth time, he will also overtake Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to become the first-ever man to win 21 Grand Slam singles titles. With full capacity crowds back again, it’s time for the greatest return!

I don't watch wheelchair tennis but when I see those guys I always remember when Djokovic tried playing in wheelchair once as a part of some exhibition and realized how tough it is to be able to even move, let alone fly over the court and hit the ball. These people are true champions and they are athletic as every other athlete even tho they are partly disabled👏🙌

What a great match! For those of you that don’t know, kunieda is the Roger Federer of wheel chair tennis!

[@splico4419]

You mean Djokovic

[@viveknamikaze761]

@@splico4419 He probably meant about the way he plays, not everything is about Djokovic lol. How insecure can you guys get.

[@SuperNino111]

@@viveknamikaze761 no he dont meant that, whay he not say tsitsipas then or wawrinka? he cant belive that in end of carers federer will be 3 place.

[@niuren]

Djokovic / Federer / Nadal, all the same in this context. What I meant is that it’s a player that’s super high skilled and well respected by everyone

[@aservant1284]

Cool

[@konstantingubanov4687]

When I look at such people I realize that my life problems are not the problems at all Bravo

[@NANICU]

The last time I watched wheelchair tennis, letting the ball bounce twice was the norm. Now, Kunieda is taking everything after a single bounce and it's akin to taking the ball on the rise. No wonder he's almost unbeatable!

[@smokinjoe4684]

Dude. This is incredible how they do this. Truly.

Unbelievable fitness and skill!

Shingo is the legend.

[@apoetsbrain6794]

This looks difficult to do. Incredible shots too! Even two bounces look tiring to get to. It is somehow inspiring just to watch their game and determination on the court. WIll have to watch more wheelchair tennis. Looks just as fun as all the others.

[@navi2102]

This looks really strenuous. I'm impressed by both of these guys.

[@deebywater612]

Wow!! I’m Japanese but didn’t really now that he is the No.1player in the world!! Great match Shingo!!🎉🎉

[@Twenty3Rides]

What spirit, enthusiasm and determination to succeed. Hats off.

[@vikkigupta2003]

Shingo the GOAT..

[@jasbirmakar3952]

So highly admirable ,both athletes !

[@lareuanlachance4019]

it's extremely difficult and very easy to get arm injuries. this really deserves more attention

[@elliottdranson8251]

Can someone help me out. What's the difference between shingo kunieda and Dylan Alcott when it comes to tennis? I see both are world number 1. Are they in different classes of wheelchair tennis?

[@rdb2011able]

Kunieda is a para player and Alcott is a quad player, meaning that Alcott's paralysis is higher & therefore his physical ability is more restrictive. Para's injury is a lower spinal cord injury. It doesn't always hold true, there could be other restrictions not noted in this explain nationation.

Amazing shots. Super super difficult although the rules are different

[@maartenvangenabeek1976]

i mean the only different rule is that it can bounce twice, other than that the same?

[@user-nk1kq4dp6c]

can anyone explained the number beside the tennis ball is represent what? after the player got 40 then ad means what? can anyone explained the scoring setting for the weehelchair tennis or regular tennis?

[@user-nk1kq4dp6c]

like the 6 and 5

[@bonzwah1]

ive never watched wheelchair tennis before...im shocked at what I'm seeing. I thought bisecting angles in regular tennis was hard enough, but these guys have to factor in momentum and turn rates...

[@user-fl6dh5pf3c]

Legend🙌

[@lincolngates6583]

are you allowed 2 bounces

[@spencerdang3552]

How many times is the ball allowed to bounce/how is it different from normal tennis? Besides being in a wheelchair
