Novak Djokovic and Naomi Osaka will each look to defend their 2018 singles titles.
Djokovic will go for his fifth Grand Slam title in his last six attempts. Djokovic defeated Roger Federer in the longest Wimbledon final ever, and that came after winning the Australian Open in January, where he defeated Rafael Nadal in the final. At the French Open championship in June, it was Nadal who put a stop to Djokovic's streak in the semifinals. Djokovic, 32, has pushed his career Grand Slam championship total to 16 titles, behind only Nadal's 18 and Federer's 20.
Osaka followed up her first career Grand Slam title in New York last year with a three-set victory over Petra Kvitova to win the Australian Open in January. She became the first woman to win consecutive Grand Slam singles titles since Serena Williams in 2015 and was the first player to follow up her first Grand Slam singles title with another at the next event since Jennifer Capriati in 2001. At the French Open, Osaka was upset in the third round, and lost in the first round at Wimbledon.
At the end of July, Osaka shared a post on Twitter discussing her struggles since the Australian Open, writing that she's relearning how to have fun playing again. Osaka retired from her quarterfinal match at the Western & Southern Open, the final hard-court tournament before the US Open, with a left knee injury. At the draw ceremony on Thursday, she said that the injury is getting better.
