Two of tennis’ greatest current stars will face off alongside two legends of the past in a charity event that promises to be unforgettable for fans.
The young Spanish star and his Serbian rival have dominated the tennis scene in recent years. While the latter may be nearing the twilight of his career, and the former is just beginning to establish himself, both continue to shape the sport.
This is why witnessing another showdown between them is a rare privilege. Adding two tennis legends to the mix makes it a match for the history books.
Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic are set to participate in a charity match with legends. Recently, tennis fans witnessed another chapter in the rivalry between Djokovic and Alcaraz during the Paris Olympics men’s singles final, where Djokovic secured a 4-3 lead in their head-to-head record.
Now, the two will meet again in a charity event just before the U.S. Open. This time, however, they will compete in a doubles match alongside two iconic players.
Reports indicate that the legends involved are John McEnroe and Andre Agassi. Djokovic and McEnroe will team up against Alcaraz and Agassi in the ‘Stars of the Open’ event on Wednesday, August 21st. A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the USTA Foundation. Between them, these players have amassed 43 major titles: Djokovic with 24, Agassi with eight, McEnroe with seven, and Alcaraz with four, in a career that still holds great promise.
Djokovic enters the U.S. Open as the reigning champion and fresh off his first Olympic gold medal after defeating Alcaraz in Paris. He will undoubtedly be striving to secure his 25th major title. As for Alcaraz, despite his loss in Paris, the 21-year-old has had a remarkable year, winning both the French Open and Wimbledon, making his Olympic setback a minor blemish. The ‘Stars of the Open’ event is shaping up to be a spectacular showcase, so keep an eye out for details on how to watch this highly anticipated match.
