Daniil Medvedev admitted on Friday that he isn't coming into the US Open in the best form, but the former champion still believes he "could be in a good position to do big things."

With Carlos Alcaraz planning to play the tournament with a wrist injury Jannik Sinner absent, Medvedev's chances of adding to his 2021 US Open title have certainly improved.

The seventh seed will begin his campaign against an as yet unknown qualifier or lucky loser.
