Defending champion Andy Murray could face top-seeded Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals at the US Open, while Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer — who have never played each other at Flushing Meadows — might meet in the quarter-finals.
Murray earned his first Grand Slam championship by beating Djokovic in the 2012 US Open final, then added a second by beating him in the Wimbledon title match last month. But there can’t be a rematch in New York in the final, thanks to Thursday’s draw.
“Coming to the US Open last year, I’d never won a Grand Slam. I didn’t know if I was ever going to win one,” Murray said at the draw ceremony.
Play at the year’s last Grand Slam tournament begins Monday.
