Probably a good idea to fadethese players at some point during US Open tourney:
(or exclude them in your outright winner)
- Djokovic [1 full month without any real match compared to opponents]
- Berrettini [form deterioration; hard surface]
- Schwartzman [form deterioration; hard surface]
- Halep [injury; thigh]
- Badosa [injury; shoulder/nerve]
- Kvitova [injury; stomach]
- Serena [2 full months without any real match compared to opponents]
- Sofia Kenin [2 full months without any real match compared to opponents]
List will be updated upon new info
