US Open 2023: Kyrgios, Osaka, and Jabeur Kick Off the Final Grand Slam

The US Open Fan Week has concluded, marking the official commencement of the year's final Grand Slam tournament. New York City has once again transformed into a tennis hub, with the Park Lane Hotel serving as the gathering place for tennis stars Nick Kyrgios, Naomi Osaka, and Ons Jabeur.

Kyrgios, who lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2022 Wimbledon final, expressed his support for the Serbian legend. "I hope Novak wins it because it makes me look better since I lost my final to Novak," he said. "The more he wins, the better I look in the future."

Kyrgios also commented on Carlos Alcaraz, the four-time Grand Slam winner who suffered a minor slip in practice. "There's so many things that need to happen to win a Grand Slam," Kyrgios said. "I've never won a singles one, made a final, but the stars need to align so they need a lot of luck."

Osaka, a two-time US Open champion, is determined to add another trophy to her collection. "It will take a lot to win the US Open, I'm trying to take it match by match," she said. "I think my first match [against Jelena Ostapenko] is going to be very difficult but I'm being really confident in myself."

First-round matches are already underway, with Osaka and Ostapenko scheduled to face off on Tuesday at Louis Armstrong Stadium. The tournament promises to be filled with thrilling matches and captivating storylines as the world's top tennis players compete for the coveted US Open title.
